Software Development Engineer III

As an SDE III youll bring your engineering depth into a new way of working. You wont just write code youll specify orchestrate validate and ship with AI as your primary collaborator. Youll work in a small mission-driven cross-functional team called a pod three functions (Product Engineer Quality) with high agency shared ownership and no hand-offs.

Reporting to the Tech Lead youll join the Product & Technology Team. Are you ready to be part of a team thats redefining how software gets built in an AI Native setup

What You Will Do

• Deliver against the pods mission own the full software delivery lifecycle including quality from design through production and measurement.
• Operate in continuous flow (Kanban) pull work respect WIP limits ship daily.
• Use AI agents as your primary delivery mechanism code generation testing spec writing deployment.
• Design build and debug software across backend and frontend with distributed systems awareness.
• Evaluate and tune agent workflows steering docs prompts rules skills. You improve the tools you use.
• Write clean well-tested code and take ownership of quality end-to-end.
• Act as the initial on-call responder ensuring health and stability of deployed applications.
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to shared tooling knowledge bases and the agent foundation kit.

Engineering Mindset What We Look For

We assess every candidate across six core dimensions:

• AI Fluency: AI is the primary way we engineer. Prompt evaluate and iterate. Manual coding is a deliberate choice not the default.
• Cross-Functional Versatility: Thats not my area doesnt exist. Contribute beyond your discipline share knowledge openly and communicate clearly across different formats.
• Customer and Value Awareness: Ask why and for whom before how. Understand the bigger business context while still being able to zoom in and trace a bug. Map dependencies before you build.
• Craft: Apply SOLID principles DRY separation of concerns and observability by default. Write clean maintainable code with the right level of testing. Treat CI/CD as standard engineering practice whether the code is written by a human or an AI agent.
• Technical Curiosity: Build a prototype experiment and try to break it before relying solely on documentation. Stay curious about how things work and continuously explore better approaches.
• Agency & Entrepreneurship: Dont wait for permission. Take ownership of outcomes end-to-end enable others to succeed challenge the status quo and proactively look for ways to create value.

• Experience with application monitoring observability and production debugging.
• Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes microservices and event-driven architectures.
• Proficiency in using AI-assisted development tools for code generation pair programming and automated testing.
