Requirements

Multiple years of product software development experience within a SaaS company, or the ability to demonstrate you've learned enough in less time to still be a great engineer and valuable team member.
You use AI as a force multiplier throughout the software development lifecycle.
You communicate well across engineering, product, and design, and enjoy solving problems collaboratively.
Ruby/Rails: Deep knowledge of Rails.
JavaScript/React: Strong JavaScript foundation.
Testing: Testing is a natural part of your process.
Source control: git
View templates: Slim
CSS: lightly customized Bootstrap
Database: MySQL
Cloud platform: AWS
Delegation: You know what to hand to an agent, what demands your own hands, and when AI is the wrong tool entirely.
Description: You can frame a problem with enough context and constraint that the first output is useful, and you iterate rather than accept.
Discernment: You catch subtly wrong code, missing edge cases, and security issues in AI output.
Diligence: You own everything you ship. You can delegate the work, but not the accountability.
