Senior Software Engineer (Full-Stack)

Cricut® empowers people to make and personalize almost anything—from custom cards and apparel to everyday items and home décor. Our smart cutting machines, design apps, and materials make creativity easy and accessible for everyone. We believe everyone is born creative, and our mission is to put the power of handmade into the hands of all. With a passionate community of Makers around the world, Cricut helps turn inspiration into real, tangible creations—one project at a time.

Let’s make.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own Full-Stack development on one of our cross-platform product pods. You'll be the technical authority for your platform — writing high-quality code, making architectural decisions for your stack, and mentoring 1–2 engineers to maintain quality and velocity. You'll work closely with your Tech Lead and fellow Seniors on the other platforms to deliver cohesive product experiences for millions of Cricut users. This is a hands-on, high-impact IC role with a clear growth path to Tech Lead. 

We build with AI. Our engineers use tools like Copilot, Codex, and Claude as part of their daily workflow — to accelerate delivery, prototype faster, and spend more time on the work that matters. 

Responsibilities 

• Lead with ownership: thrive in ambiguity, proactively clarify requirements, and drive work forward without waiting for direction 
• Own Ful-Stack (Backend API and Internal Tools Web Application) development on your pod — architecture, implementation, testing, and release quality 
• Write clean, well-structured, performant application code using modern design patterns 
• Mentor 1–2 engineers on your platform: set technical direction, review code, and maintain quality standards 
• Perform thorough code reviews and contribute to architectural planning and refactoring 
• Collaborate with your cross-functional team on technical decisions and sprint commitments 
• Work with API & client teams on service integration and contract design 
• Write and maintain automated tests appropriate to your platform 
• Participate in story refinement with Product and UX from a platform-specific perspective 
• Drive software releases for your platform 
• Stay current with platform advancements and advocate for adoption of improved tools and practices 

• 5+ years of professional software development experience 
• Highly proficient in C#/.NET and ASP.NET 
• Experience with data stores like PostgreSQL and MongoDB (Neo4j a plus!) 
• Experience with messaging or event streaming tools such as Apache Kafka 
• Experience with cloud compute (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization with Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE, or equivalent) 
• Proficient with at least one modern web front-end framework (Angular, React, or Blazor) and its ecosystem (e.g., TypeScript, component architecture, state management) 
• Solid knowledge of modern design architectures (e.g., MVVM, MVC, Clean Architecture, or platform equivalents) 
• Experience crafting RESTful APIs and working with client teams on contract design 
• Experience writing and maintaining automated tests appropriate to your platform 
• Experience with Git and branching workflows 
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments 
• Strong grasp of algorithms, data structures, and design patterns 
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience directing or mentoring other engineers 
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines 
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Codex, Claude) 
• Experience with performance profiling and optimization for your platform 
• Experience working with offshore or distributed teams 
• Working knowledge of internationalization

We’ve Got You Covered

At Cricut, we take care of our people. Enjoy competitive Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage, a 401(k) match, generous PTO, tuition reimbursement, and a yearly lifestyle stipend to support your wellness and passions. You’ll also receive exclusive employee discounts—and best of all, you’ll be surrounded by some of the most talented, creative, and curious minds out there.

A Quick Note Before You Apply…

Cricut is in an exciting chapter of transformation. We’re evolving fast—refining our strategy, growing our teams, and raising the bar across everything we do. This is an incredible opportunity for the right kind of person—but it’s not for everyone.

We’re looking for A-players—people who thrive in dynamic environments, turn challenges into momentum, and consistently deliver their best work. If that sounds like you, read on.

Here’s what makes someone a great fit for this role (and for this moment at Cricut):

• You move with urgency. You don’t wait for perfect clarity to act—you start, learn, and adjust.
• You set high standards. You take ownership, deliver quality, and hold yourself accountable.
• You stay focused when things move fast. You prioritize what matters most and tune out the noise.
• You collaborate like a pro. You elevate others, communicate clearly, and bring a low-ego, high-output energy.
• You embrace AI as part of your toolkit. From idea exploration to data analysis and creative problem-solving, you leverage AI to accelerate innovation and amplify impact—because technology and creativity go hand-in-hand here.

One More Thing (It’s a Big One)

This role is in-office at least 4-5 days per week. We believe real collaboration, innovation, and culture are built face-to-face. If you’re energized by working alongside smart, kind, creative people—and love those hallway conversations that spark the next great idea—you’ll feel right at home.

If you’re looking for a fully remote role, this may not be the right fit. But if you’re excited by challenge, purpose, and building something better—let’s make something amazing together.
