R&D Engineering, Sr Staff Engineer

Synopsys software engineers are key enablers in the world of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), developing and maintaining software used in chip design, verification, and manufacturing. They work on assignments like designing, developing, and troubleshooting software, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies like AI/ML, GenAI, and Cloud.

You are an experienced web developer who works well in a small, highly effective team where individual work has clear impact. You work independently, take ownership from concept through deployment, and make sound technical decisions with little supervision.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, deploy, and maintain enterprise web applications and services.
• Work across the full technology stack, including front-end, back-end, database, and cloud components.
• Design and implement solutions using the PANN technology stack and associated development frameworks.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity, engineering, product, and business teams to define and deliver high-value solutions.
• Build intuitive and effective user experiences that simplify complex workflows.
• Design and optimize relational and non-relational database solutions.
• Develop AI-enabled capabilities that support automation, data analysis, content generation, and knowledge extraction.
• Create integrations between business systems, knowledge repositories, and AI services.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend practical solutions that improve scalability, reliability, and user productivity.
• Support operational excellence through monitoring, maintenance, performance optimization, and continuous improvement.

Impact:

• Accelerate delivery of critical internal platforms and business capabilities.
• Improve employee productivity through intelligent automation and AI-driven workflows.
• Enable better decision-making through effective access to organizational knowledge and data.
• Create scalable solutions that can be adopted across multiple business functions.
• Reduce manual effort and operational overhead through automation and system integration.
• Help shape the technical direction of a growing platform that supports strategic business initiatives.
• Serve as a key technical contributor in a small team where individual impact is highly visible.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Typically 6 or more years developing enterprise web applications. Stronger evidence of full-stack delivery and production ownership can offset fewer years.
• Strong experience with the PANN technology stack (PostgreSQL, Angular, NestJS, Node.js) and modern web development frameworks.
• Experience designing and developing microservices architectures.
• Experience using Prisma for data modeling, database access, and schema migrations.
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, REST APIs, and modern application architectures.
• Experience designing, developing, and optimizing relational and non-relational databases and administering PostgreSQL.
• Experience containerizing applications and services with Docker or Kubernetes, and deploying, configuring, and managing web servers, load balancers, and reverse proxies such as Nginx and Apache.
• Experience with cloud-based application development and deployment.
• Experience building and maintaining continuous integration, continuous delivery, and deployment pipelines.
• Practical experience with AI technologies, including large language models, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge extraction, and automation workflows.
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycle practices, testing methodologies, and secure coding principles.
• Experience integrating multiple systems through APIs and data services.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Benefits:

• Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family.
• Time away programs, including company holidays, ETO, and FTO programs.
• Family support, including maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and more.
• ESPP: purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24-month look-back.
• Retirement plans that vary by region and country.
• Competitive salaries.
