About the Role

As a Senior AI Native Software Engineer, you orchestrate a fleet of AI agents to architect, build, and deploy production‑grade systems, and near‑100% of your production code is agent‑generated.

You Will

• Build production‑grade systems spanning multiple internal and third‑party backend systems and persistence layers
• Reverse‑engineer and rebuild legacy systems or other dependencies end‑to‑end using coding agents
• Create custom coding harnesses and test frameworks for structured, repeatable AI‑assisted development
• Independently conduct customer discovery and synthesize findings into product direction
• Size opportunities using data and business context; design and execute experiments to validate assumptions
• Guide less experienced KDEs and SDEs on effective tool usage, building patterns, and tradeoff decisions
• Establish team standards for prompt craft, evaluation, and AI tool use

You Have

• Advanced proficiency with coding agents across complex development scenarios
• Experience architecting multi‑service systems, including complex persistence, integrations, and scaling
• Understanding of distributed systems tradeoffs and cloud‑based infrastructure design
• Proficiency in customer discovery techniques and ability to connect technical work to business outcomes
• Competence with design thinking, analytics tools, and funnel analysis
• Experience guiding others on AI‑first development approaches
• Strong communication skills with ability to articulate technical concepts to non‑technical audiences
