Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, encompassing hands-on coding and architectural design.
• Skill in coordinating multi-agent workflows, including planner, implementer, reviewer, and tester sub-agents.
• Proficiency in creating and sustaining verification pipelines, including tests, linters, and type checks.

Responsibilities

• Break down work into specs and tasks executable by agents, including planner, implementer, reviewer, and tester sub-agents.
• Oversee agent output through reading diffs, questioning decisions, and intervening when an agent deviates from intent.
• Embed verification into every loop, using tests, linters, type checks, and review agents before trusting any output.
• Establish acceptance criteria to validate agent-generated work before integration.
• Take ownership of architectural decisions, design tradeoffs, and correctness while delegating code generation to agents.
• Complete tasks manually when necessary to determine when an agent's output is incorrect.
• Continuously refine the personal, lightweight factory setup based on daily usage.
• Gauge success through shipped repositories, defects identified, throughput, and overall code quality.
• Provide reports on specs, tests, review outcomes, and production metrics to showcase factory performance.
