Experience building maintainable and testable codebases, including application programming interface (API) design and testing techniques.
A track record of setting technical direction for a team, driving consensus, and building successful cross-functional partnerships.
Proven ability to navigate large enterprise environments and partner across global time zones.
A related technical degree is required.
Demonstrate a genuine AI-first approach to engineering — using AI to move faster, build fluency across the stack, and contribute well beyond your core specialty.
Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, etc.) in development workflows.
Advanced prompt engineering skills and the ability to write precise, structured prompts and cultivate the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready.
A related technical degree required.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, design, operations, and infrastructure to build innovative application experiences.
Develop reusable software components for interfacing with back-end platforms and architect efficient, scalable systems that drive complex applications.
Lead complex technical and product efforts, provide technical guidance to peers, and mentor team members through code reviews, tech talks, architecture reviews, and pair programming.
Analyze and optimize code for quality, efficiency, and performance, and identify and resolve performance and scalability issues.
Deliver robust, high-quality software across a variety of coding languages and technologies.
Contribute to documentation, technical design proposals, coding standards, and platform lifecycle improvements.
Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow — pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code.
Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.
Contribute to building and maintaining shared system context — an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably.
Critically evaluate code (human- or AI-generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance.
