The opportunity

You can write Vue.js that works or Decision Making that lasts; our Lead Software Engineer role at Cisco is for engineers who insist on both. At its core, this is a Lead Software Engineer job in CO that rewards 8 years with $152,000 - $219,000 and room to run.

Key Responsibilities

  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Decision Making-based applications
  • Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Linux and Git
  • Own the forward-thinking .NET Core subsystem that the rest of Cisco quietly depends on
  • Build Git self-service tools so Denver teams stop filing tickets for everything
  • Lead the Decision Making migration that finally retires Cisco's autonomy-driven legacy stack
  • Investigate, diagnose, and fix bugs reported by users and monitoring tools
  • Decode the undocumented Vue.js service nobody at Cisco remembers writing
  • Untangle the Elasticsearch dependency knots that have slowed Denver releases for months

What You'll Bring

  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • Lead mastery of Elasticsearch, validated by people who'd hire you again
  • The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a lead capacity
  • Working understanding of both Elasticsearch and Decision Making in real-world settings

Most of Cisco still fits in one Denver building, and that steady-handed closeness is exactly why its technology work stays sharp. Nobody at Cisco will hover over your shoulder; we hand you the keys and trust you to drive.

Expect $152,000 - $219,000, a hybrid Denver office, generous PTO, and leaders who treat your development as a real priority.

Applications are flowing in for this technology role, and we are reviewing each one promptly.

There's a lead role with your name on it at Cisco; come claim it.
