Senior Software Engineer
Posted 7 days 21 hours ago by Jobtailor
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.
- 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.
Demonstrates production-grade engineering experience with solid proficiency in Python and the ability to design distributed services using RESTful and event-driven APIs. Capable of rapidly prototyping ideas and transitioning them to production-grade engineering while utilizing AI coding agents to enhance productivity.
