  • Champion AI-assisted engineering practices to increase velocity, quality, and experimentation speed.

Collaboration with Product & Experience
  • Partner deeply with Product and Design to define and deliver prioritized critical user journeys.
  • Partner with Product and Design to continually engage with customers for validation and feedback on software we develop.
  • Contribute to rapid experimentation loops (hypothesis → instrumentation → learning → iteration).

Required Qualifications
  • 5-7 years of professional experience in software development
  • BS or MS in Computer Science or related technical field
  • Experience designing and developing web/cloud applications
  • Experience with Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, DevOps, etc
  • Proven experience delivering modern, cloud-native platform capabilities at scale.
  • Architectural expertise in distributed systems, APIs, composable services, and modern frontend architectures.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with User Interface / User Experience Design process
  • Experience with AI-first or agentic platform initiatives.
  • Experience building dynamic or generative UI systems.
  • Familiarity with MCP-style integration models or composable tool architectures.

This role defines how modern engineering delivers experience: AI-native, workflow-first, composable, and deeply integrated with Product and Design to ship outcomes-not just software.
