Senior Software Engineer

Carrot is the leading global fertility and family care platform, and they are seeking a Senior Software Engineer who thrives in high-autonomy environments. The role involves owning meaningful product and platform outcomes, collaborating with product, design, and engineering teams to solve complex problems and leveraging AI-assisted development.

Responsibilities:

• Own high-stakes work as the DRI. Take hard or ill-defined problems in your domain, like a product 1-pager, a member pain point, a partner integration, and own them end-to-end. Design, build, ship, monitor, fix, iterate
• Design for flexibility. Carrot aims to be flexible to the needs of the market, our customers, and our members. Our engineering practices should reflect this. When you are breaking down a body of work or sequencing changes, you should aim to deliver value incrementally, so that each small change unlocks value for the business and users
• Make the technical calls. Make speed-vs-durability tradeoffs and live with the consequences. On contested calls, you drive to a decision rather than waiting for one
• Operate what you build. You're on the hook for reliability, observability, and incident response in your domain
• Use AI as leverage. You have strong, specific opinions about AI tools and how they best accelerate work. You know when to trust the model and how to push back when you’re unsure. You raise the bar for how the rest of the org uses these tools
• Be a rising tide. You mentor directly through your work: pairing, reviews, helping less-experienced engineers become DRIs on their own work. You also raise the level of everyone around you indirectly: through the bar you set for yourself, the standards you hold in collaboration, and the way you make hard problems look tractable
• Drive measurable outcomes. Every initiative ties back to a member metric, a cost line, a reliability target, or a revenue lever. You can articulate why what you're building matters and what success looks like before you start, and you push back when an initiative can't answer that question
• Small pods, clear DRIs. We operate in small, focused pods. On any given initiative, one PM or engineer is the directly responsible individual. This person owns the outcome, drives the decisions, and is accountable when it ships and when it breaks. As a senior engineer, you'll be a DRI where appropriate, and when not, you’ll be expected to hold product and others accountable to their responsibilities, including bringing the right context, not blocking progress, and ensuring outcomes are achieved
• Push the pace. You are expected to set the tempo, not match it. If a review is sitting, you nudge it. If a decision is stalled, you force it. If the team is moving slower than the problem demands, you name it and figure out why
• Protect focus. Disciplined focus is an asset. When something interrupts you or your pod, be it a flaky alert, a recurring question from another team, a manual step that lives in someone's head, a Slack ping that should have been a doc, you fix it at the source so it stops happening
• AI is in the critical path. We are not 'exploring' AI tooling. Agentic workflows are the default. You are building leverage with these tools week over week
• Accountable to outcomes. 'Done' is measured in production behavior, member impact, and ultimately business results. We trust engineers to make local decisions, and we hold them accountable for the results

Requirements:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of leading initiatives end-to-end
• Demonstrated ability to lead in ambiguity
• Fluent with AI-assisted development
• Strong fundamentals in our stack or adjacent technologies: C#/.NET, TypeScript, React, SQL, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure (Azure and/or AWS)
• Influence without authority
• You raise the bar around you
• Healthcare or regulated-industry experience is a plus but not required
