Working alongside talented engineers and product leaders, you'll have a genuine voice in technical strategy, influence engineering standards and mentor the next generation of developers. From shaping system architecture to bringing AI-driven capabilities into production, you'll play a key role in turning ambitious ideas into real-world products.

What makes this opportunity exciting?

• Greenfield development and the opportunity to shape modern SaaS products.
• AI at the heart of engineering, including agentic systems and LLM-powered solutions.
• Real technical ownership across architecture, system design and engineering standards.

What we're looking for:

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in SaaS or product-led environments.
• Proven experience designing scalable cloud-native systems and microservices.
• Practical experience building AI agents, integrating LLMs or applying AI-assisted engineering workflows.

If you're excited about the intersection of software engineering, cloud technology and AI innovation, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.
