Responsibilities:
  • Responsible for full lifecycle of development tasks — analyze, design, and code business-related solutions, as well as core architectural changes, using an Agile programming approach resulting in software delivered to tight deadlines.
  • Participate and contribute to design discussions and code reviews, including review of AI-generated implementation plans and pull requests at an architectural and systems level.
  • Translate business requirements into structured implementation plans executable by AI agents.
  • Define coding standards, reusable guardrails, and structured workflows that improve AI-generated output quality and guide automated contributors.
  • Anticipate edge cases, race conditions, data consistency issues, and system failure modes across human- and AI-generated code.
  • Understand changing priorities and be forward-thinking in context switching.
  • Build positive relationships with other team members, collaborate, and communicate effectively to reach successful outcomes.
  • Utilize problem-solving skills to help peers in the research and selection of tools, products, and frameworks vital to supporting business initiatives.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or another STEM field.
  • 7-10+ years of proven hands-on, full-stack development expertise with Python.
  • Proficiency with a compiled programming language (TypeScript, Java, C#, Go, et al.).
  • Comfortable working in an agile software delivery environment, with Git and exposure to CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub, Docker, Jenkins).
  • Experience with various JavaScript frameworks including Vue.js, React, and Angular; ability to adapt to new frameworks and libraries as needed.
  • Experience with messaging systems across the application stack (e.g., Kafka, EventHub, Azure Service Bus).
  • Strong expertise in SQL databases, query optimization, indexing, stored procedures, and performance tuning for high-efficiency data processing.
  • Proficiency in developing, deploying, and troubleshooting applications in both Linux and Windows environments.
  • Proven experience working in large enterprise environments, with a track record of leading or significantly contributing to enterprise-scale projects.
  • Experience operating in AI-assisted development environments — reviewing, validating, and supervising AI-generated code for correctness, performance, and architectural soundness.
  • Passion for clean, maintainable code and always looking to improve engineering skills in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
Plus:
  • Experience supervising AI-generated implementation plans or pull requests and defining guardrails that improve automated output quality.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as OpenAI APIs, Anthropic Claude, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, LangGraph, AutoGen, or similar.
  • Experience with API security using Okta, JWT, OAuth.
