Job description

Role overview

Lead complex software work that uses AI coding agents to build and ship customer-facing features. This senior role shapes technical direction across workstreams, owns delivery through production monitoring, and helps other engineers improve how they specify, delegate, review, and operate agent-assisted work.

Responsibilities

• Turn ambiguous product opportunities into technical direction and specifications with clear constraints, acceptance criteria, risks, and tradeoffs.
• Guide multiple agents through concurrent implementation while deciding where human judgment is required.

• Shape product decisions with product, design, and support partners, and mentor engineers in agent-assisted development.

Requirements

• At least five years of software engineering experience, including shipping customer-facing production software and owning it through monitoring.
• A track record of using AI coding agents to deliver features across parallel workstreams.
• Strong system design, data modeling, and architecture skills, including performance and data-flow tradeoffs.
• Ability to write clear specifications and technical documentation for both people and agents.
• Experience structuring repository and task context so agents can work reliably, and designing workflows for parallel execution.
• Experience with production observability, metrics, traces, incident response, mentoring, and influencing technical decisions; strong written and verbal communication.
