# Lead Software Engineer

Rocky Mountain Reserve | Remote | Full-Time

## About Rocky Mountain Reserve

Rocky Mountain Reserve is a benefits administration company specializing in HSAs, FSAs, HRAs, and other consumer-directed benefit accounts. We help employers and employees get the most out of their benefits through great service and great technology. We're investing heavily in our engineering capabilities and are looking for a technical leader to help us build faster and smarter.

## About the Role

We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer who represents the best of both worlds: someone who has fully embraced AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) to ship software at a pace that wasn't possible a few years ago — and someone with the engineering depth to know exactly where those tools fall short.

And you're excited to teach others how to work this way.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll write code, set technical direction, and mentor our existing development team as they adopt AI-assisted workflows.

## What You'll Do

• Design, build, and ship features across our benefits administration platform using modern, AI-accelerated development workflows
• Establish best practices for AI-assisted development: when to lean on the tools, when to slow down, and how to review and validate generated code
• Mentor and upskill our existing engineering team in using tools like Claude Code effectively and responsibly
• Own architectural decisions and ensure our systems remain maintainable, secure, and scalable as development velocity increases
• Champion engineering rigor — testing, code review, documentation, and observability — in an AI-augmented workflow
