About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Ship a slice of a product feature to production — shaping it with your Product Manager, engineers in your pod, and GTM.
Use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Copilot) as part of your daily workflow — generating, refactoring, and reviewing code with a critical eye.
Push to production multiple times a day.
Own incidents end-to-end when a service misbehaves — from the page, through investigation, to the post-incident learning.
Prototype an idea, knowing when something is good enough as an experiment and when it needs to graduate to production-grade.
Review pull requests thoroughly, and have your own work reviewed by peers who care about long-term maintainability as much as they care about shipping fast.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Production-grade engineering experience.
Solid proficiency in software development with a track record of owning production systems through their full lifecycle, ideally in a SaaS context.
You work in Python, design distributed services using both RESTful and event-driven APIs, and are comfortable with DevOps practices, cloud environments (ideally AWS), CI/CD, and observability.
A sense for prototype versus production.
You can rapidly stand up a prototype to test an idea, and you know when an idea is ready to graduate to production-grade engineering — and what it takes to get it there.
Outcome-oriented.
You measure your work by the impact it has on users and the business — not by tickets closed or volume of code shipped.
Autonomy and shared ownership across the pod.
Pods run their own delivery without heavy ceremony or constant management presence.
AI as a force multiplier for the craft.
You use Claude Code, Copilot, or similar tools regularly, directing them to iterate rather than accepting first output.
