Job Description

As aSenior Software Engineer — AI, you will build and ship production-grade, multi-agent AI systems used daily by thousands of engineers. You’ll work on an applied AI platform that automates key stages of the software delivery pipeline—from PRD through architecture, implementation, QA, security, and retrospective—at enterprise scale. You will own agent capabilities end-to-end, with a focus onreliability, evaluation, observability, and cost-per-session. This is not a research or data science role—you will engineer production systems that consistently follow specifications.
