Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and ship production-quality systems, APIs, and services - from foundational platform capabilities to customer-facing product experiences
  • Own projects end-to-end: translating requirements into technical designs, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing iteration
  • Build reliable, scalable, and observable systems that deliver value to customers and enable other engineering teams to move faster
  • Own the production health of the systems you build, including monitoring, troubleshooting, performance, reliability, and issue resolution
  • Build reusable infrastructure, frameworks, tooling, and developer experiences that enable teams across the organization
  • Improve engineering velocity and operational quality through automation, documentation, and continuous improvements
  • Contribute to technical design for complex projects, evaluating tradeoffs and proposing pragmatic implementation plans
  • Partner with product, design, and engineering to translate requirements into well-designed technical solutions
  • Help identify and reduce technical debt, reliability risks, and friction in the software development lifecycle
  • Collaborate with Staff and senior engineers to establish reusable patterns and raise engineering standards
  • Participate in code reviews, design reviews, debugging, incident response, and operational support
  • Use agentic coding tools and AI-assisted development as a primary part of workflow
  • Critically evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, edge cases, and regressions
  • Build or integrate AI/LLM-powered capabilities in domain with human-in-the-loop boundaries
  • Contribute to team's evolving practices around AI-accelerated development, testing, and code review
  • Work closely with product, design, QA, and cross-functional partners to meet timelines
  • Provide clear, accessible technical context to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Grow into a subject-matter expert with deep understanding of data, workflows, and customer needs specific to the space

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in backend and/or full-stack software engineering
  • Strong backend engineering experience with Python and frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, Pyramid, or Django
  • Experience with relational/NoSQL databases, including schema design, query optimization, and data modeling
  • Experience with cloud-native technologies such as AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD, observability, and operating services in production
  • Comfort working full-stack when the problem calls for it (TypeScript/React experience a plus)
  • Ability to break down complex technical problems and deliver pragmatic, maintainable solutions
  • Strong ownership mindset, with the ability to drive projects independently while collaborating effectively across teams
  • Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to engineering and cross-functional partners
  • Hands-on experience with AI-native development tools (e.g., Cursor, Augment), and demonstrated AI Fluency
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
  • Hands-on experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered systems in production (e.g., RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, evaluation workflows, guardrails, prompt/tool orchestration, model observability)
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving technical territory
