We cheer for each other's successes, learn from our mistakes, and support and lean on one another during challenging times.

As an organization, we are intentional about our DEI and philanthropic work (like our G2 Gives program) because it encourages us all to be better people.

About The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, Full-Stack, you will create new products and features end-to-end which directly contribute to G2’s key organizational goals. Your responsibilities will center around building and delivering new products and features to production with confidence in their performance. As a technologist, you will be a key voice in defining and refining product concepts to take advantage of opportunities afforded by AI and agent technology & greater industry developments. You will adopt industry-leading engineering techniques and leverage “agent-first” ways of working to deliver products, reflecting the realities of today’s software development lifecycle.

In This Role, You Will:

Build new products and features [60%]:

• Contribute across the full software stack to deliver user journeys to production, owning implementation quality from architecture to release

• Apply sound software engineering and system design principles to produce solutions that are observable, maintainable, scalable, and production ready

• Design and build product features and agents that use frontier models with prompting, context, tools, and model reasoning to fulfill user journeys, generate content, and automate processes

• Validate solutions against functional requirements using both traditional QA methods, evals, and tracing to ensure quality is measurable and reproducible

• Incorporate agentic software engineering techniques into the development workflow across the SDLC, from planning, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance

Actively participate in product definition as a technologist [35%]:

• Drive product definition with designers and PMs: ideate, explore, and prototype with stakeholders, then cut down possible options to arrive at deliverable, but well-rounded solutions

• Wholly conceive and ship features & MVP iterations early in the product definition phase that directly advance high-visibility organizational goals

• Strike the right balance between investment in UX quality and tending to practical business needs through the product development process.

• Partner with other engineering stakeholders to identify what technology makes possible, and what makes implementing a given product or feature hard. Bring that perspective into project scoping and prioritization

Be a source of influence for other engineers on the team [5%]:

• Share knowledge, techniques, and agentic software engineering practices in async formats and dedicated venues, like technical discussions and team meetings

• Champion the use of AI solutions for engineering and product tasks, accelerate product velocity and team’s execution
