Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with leadership
• Experience with production distributed systems and backend services
• Strong Python and Next.js/TypeScript skills
• Daily use of AI coding tools and agents; managing context and prompts
• Experience with agentic coding workflows and CI/CD integration
• Strong system design, APIs, data flows
• Experience with observability and incident response
• Familiarity with enterprise access control models

Responsibilities

• Shape the product hands-on — partner with Product to define what to build, then design and deliver it within the Product Organization while setting standards for code quality, architecture, and delivery
• Lead by doing: design and implement core application components, critical services, and integration layers
• Establish quality thresholds and release criteria (correctness, latency, reliability, cost, and user trust)
• Define and champion best practices for AI-assisted development: prompt and context strategies for coding agents, code review standards for AI-generated code, and guardrails that keep velocity high without sacrificing quality or security
• Build product capabilities end-to-end (service + workflow integration + instrumentation) using Python, Next.js, and modern backend patterns
• Use agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) daily to accelerate prototyping, refactoring, test generation, and documentation
• Build and maintain shared libraries, components, and service templates that standardize application development across teams
• Develop internal tooling, scripts, and agent workflows that improve developer experience and automate repetitive engineering tasks
• Own technical readiness for production: reliability, observability, performance tuning, and incident response preparedness
• Collaborate with Platform Engineering and DevOps to ensure CI/CD and environment consistency, scaling strategies, cost controls, secrets management, and secure data handling
• Partner tightly with product builders and workflow owners to translate validated prototypes into production implementations
• Collaborate with core engineering teams to integrate new capabilities into CentralReach's main platforms
• Stay current with AI-assisted engineering practices (agentic coding, spec-driven development, automated code review) and help the broader engineering organization adopt them safely and effectively
