Job Description
Who you are You own the hardest technical problems in our consumer-facing product — setting the bar for how code ships, how architecture decisions get made, and how AI-augmented engineering works in a regulated environment. Impact is measured in product outcomes: performance, reliability, client experience. AI fluency is a baseline expectation; you lead how the team integrates it, handling the judgment, architecture, and craft that AI cannot replace.

Responsibilities:
What you will do/ What you'll drive
- Product performance and reliability
- own architectural decisions that move latency, uptime, and client-facing quality metrics.
- Technical direction for AI-augmented engineering
- define tools, workflows, standards for AI-generated code, and how productivity is measured.
- Engineering craft and release safety
- testing standards and observability practices that let the team ship weekly in a SOC 2 environment.
- Cross-cutting problem solving
- shared abstractions, state management, platform tech debt, resolved without stalling delivery.
- Team capability and growth
- mentorship, design feedback, and code review that raises the ceiling of what the team can do.
- Product partnership




- pressure-test requirements before they become expensivecommitments;advocate for technical quality as a driver of client experience. What AI does so youdon’thave to
- Generates boilerplate, test scaffolding, and routine implementations
- you review, refine, and ensure production standards.
- Runs automated code quality checks, vulnerability scanning, and compliance flag analysis
- you interpret results and make the call.
- Aggregates performance data, incident patterns, and release risk signals
- you decide what to act on.
- Drafts documentation, RFC templates, and technical specs
- you shape the thinking and ensure architectural coherence.

Qualifications:
What you will bring
- Significant experiencebuilding consumer-facing software at scale, with architectural judgment from systems that serve real users under real load.
- Full-stack depth
- you move between frontend, backend, and infrastructure when the problem demands it.
- Experience in a regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, or similar)
- SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance as part of engineering quality, not friction.
- Track recordof leading technical decisions: writing RFCs, driving alignment, knowing when to push for consensus vs. make the call. What will set you apart
- Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and a formed perspective on how they change team dynamics.




- Experience governing AI-generated code quality in production -you’vethought about when AI output is positive enough and when human craft isrequired.
- Experience mentoring senior engineers; your leverage at this level is as much about team capability as your own code.
- You think in systems
- understanding how technical decisions ripple through product quality and end-user experience.
- Degree in CS/Software Engineering or equivalent practical depth. What success looks like in one year
- Core platform uptime and latency measurably improved; release process introduces demonstrably less risk.
- Team has adopted AI-assisted workflows with clear quality and governance standards; engineering throughput measurably increased.
- At least two cross-cutting architectural decisions you led is in production and have reduced fragility or improved developer velocity.
- Engineers you mentoraretaking on harder problems and shipping with more confidence.
- Product and design leaders actively seek your input before committing to technical approaches. Our five values: Innovation
- You bringnew ideas, challenge the status quo, and find better ways of building. Youdontwait for permission to experiment. Courage
- You speak up when somethingisntworking, take difficult stands on technical quality, and act with conviction even whenitsuncomfortable. Owner's Mindset
- You take full accountability for your squad's outcomes. You treat the platform, the team, and the business as your own. Client Focus
- You place client outcomes at the center of every architectural and delivery decision. Winning Through Individual and Collective Growth
- You invest in your own development and actively contribute to the growth of every engineer around you. Whatit'slike here You’lljoin a team that ships weekly, reviews each other’s thinking as seriously as each
