Lead and architect software projects, mentor engineers, interface with customers, and build AI tooling to enhance engineering processes.
We’re looking for a senior technologist to join us as an Engineering Specialist—a player-coach
who leads delivery, drives architectural decisions, mentors engineers, and works directly with
customers to bring software to life.
This is a technology leadership role, and you’ll also be part of building the next generation of AI tooling that’s changing how engineering gets done.
What You’ll Do
- Lead, Architect, Deliver
- Serve as the technical lead across multiple projects, guiding distributed remote teams.
- Translate high-level customer needs into concrete technical solutions and execution plans.
- Architect systems, review code, maintain engineering quality, and deliver with velocity.
- Write and debug critical path code, unblock teams, and ensure engineering clarity and focus.
- Act as the technical point of authority for our customers, helping them understand and align with design decisions, tradeoffs, and system evolution.
- Represent & Advise
- Represent the design and development work to customers—clearly articulating architecture choices, technical strategies, and rationale behind decisions.
- Act as a trusted technology advisor, helping customers navigate complexity and make sound decisions for the long-term health of their product.
- Balance technical idealism with business realities—you know when to ship and when to scale.
- Leverage and Build AI Tools
- Use AI development tools to accelerate your work and empower your team.
- Collaborate with our internal tools team to improve and extend our AI capabilities based on real-world usage and friction points.
- Contribute to the next wave of developer tooling—not just as a user, but as a builder of the future.
What We’re Looking For
- Must-Haves
- 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably with experience in a lead or staff-level role.
- Excellent communicator who can confidently interface with customers and engineering teams alike.
- Ability to break down complex problems, drive clarity, and rally teams around shared goals.
- Deep hands-on experience with multiple modern languages.
- Comfort working across multiple codebases and ecosystems.
- Willingness to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies, stacks, and paradigms—even those you’ve never touched before.
- Strong technical judgment and a bias for action.
- Bonus Points
- Experience with distributed or remote teams.
- Contributions to AI/ML products or developer tools.
- Startup experience, especially with fast-paced delivery and evolving requirements.
- A strong opinion about how software should be built—tempered by pragmatism.
Why This Role Is Different
- It’s a tech leadership role—without the red tape. Own architecture, delivery, and team health while still writing real code.
- You’ll build relationships with customers. Be the technical face on the groun helping customers understand, trust, and champion our work.
- You’ll be part of a tight feedback loop. From design to production, your impact is visible immediately.
- You’re not just using AI—you’re shaping it. Help design the tools that redefine how engineers build software.
- Work globally, lead locally. Diverse team, high ownership, and big impact—without the bloat.
- Serious growth. Our company is scaling fast, and this role has room to grow with it.
