Full Job Description
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer responsible for design, development, launch and operation of the key initiatives associated with the most complex integration system. You will work in a highly collaborative and supportive environment across all stages of an agile software development life cycle, including architecture design, development, documentation, testing and operations.

Key job responsibilities
• Own capabilities end to end: design, build, test, launch, and operate features and independently deployable services, including on-call for what you ship.
• Work backwards from the customer: bring a product design perspective to what you build, understanding the need behind the spec and shaping the experience, not just implementing it.
• Turn signed-off specifications into working, tested software, contributing across packages in our open-contribution model and partnering with product experts to refine requirements.
• Work the AI Native build loop day to day: direct coding agents, review human-authored and agent-authored code to the same bar, and own the correctness of what merges.
• Implement and extend the validation that earns autonomy: simulation tests across realistic customer segments, so a change is proven correct across the populations we serve before a human reviews it.
• Integrate with regulated, real-world systems (sensitive customer data, third-party and vendor APIs) with correctness and privacy as non-negotiables.
• Help improve the system that builds the system: when a manual fix reveals a pattern, propose it as a reusable skill in our shared capabilities so agents handle it next time.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience

- Experience with Machine Learning and Large Language Model fundamentals, including architecture, training/inference lifecycles, and optimization of model execution, or experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers
