About this role

Description:

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale our platform. This role is for engineers who work fluently alongside AI tools and agent frameworks — not as a novelty, but as a core part of how modern software gets built. You'll ship production systems, design architectures that scale, and raise the bar for code quality on a team where AI is a daily collaborator.

We don't want someone who just uses AI to type faster. We want someone who uses AI to think bigger — and who has the judgment to know when the AI is wrong, when it's right but unwise, and when to do the work themselves.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and operate production services that serve our customers — backend, infrastructure, and the integration points in between.
  • Lead technical projects from ambiguity to shipped feature: scope, design, build, deploy, measure, iterate.
  • Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, or whatever fits the task) as a force multiplier — to draft, refactor, explore, and review — while staying accountable for everything that ships under your name.
  • Build and integrate AI-powered features into our product where they create real customer value: agent workflows, LLM-backed APIs, retrieval systems, and evaluation pipelines.
  • Review code rigorously — including AI-generated code — and help establish standards for how the team incorporates AI output into the codebase safely.
  • Debug hard problems in production. Trace through systems you didn't build. Form hypotheses, verify them, and fix the cause, not the symptom.
  • Mentor other engineers, especially on the meta-skills that matter most now: judgment, taste, verification, and knowing when to push back on AI suggestions.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and longer-term technical strategy.
