Job Description

Design, build, and deploy enterprise-grade software directly with our most strategic customers. You'll build traditional, deterministic, high-performance systems where reliability, security, and scale are the whole point, and use coding agents to move fast without loosening the engineering bar.

About the role

You'll embed with customers, translate complex business and technical requirements into well-architected systems, and lead delivery through the whole engagement. You use coding agents like Claude Code to raise development velocity while holding a high bar for code quality, performance, and security, and you know when AI-assisted development helps and when a human engineering decision has to drive. This role suits experienced engineers who design scalable, secure, maintainable systems, do well in customer-driven environments, and want their work running real operations. Travel as required.

What you'll do

Architecture & delivery

Design end-to-end systems where scalability, reliability, security, and performance are first-order concerns.
Lead technical delivery from architecture through development, testing, deployment, and operational handover.
Work across the full stack: backend services, databases, APIs, integrations, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps.
Embed with customer teams to understand their technical environment, business drivers, and constraints.

Agent-accelerated development

Use coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as primary tools to increase velocity, with structured prompting and task decomposition.
Review, validate, and refactor all agent-generated code with full rigor, catching logic errors, performance bottlenecks, and security holes.
Hold coding standards, performance baselines, and security gates across the codebase, and override the AI when human judgment should win.

Performance & reliability

Optimize for latency, throughput, and resource efficiency with caching, async patterns, query optimization, and load distribution.
Build in fault tolerance: graceful degradation, circuit breakers, retry logic, and failover.
Instrument systems with logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerting; load-test and capacity-plan against real conditions.

Security & compliance

Design authentication, authorization, encryption, and audit logging across systems.
Apply secure coding practices against injection, privilege escalation, and data exposure; threat-model and run security reviews.
Meet enterprise compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR) and stay current with new threats.

Data & integration

Design databases, data pipelines, and event-streaming architectures aligned to business requirements.
Build reliable, auditable integrations with enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, data warehouses).
Design APIs (REST, GraphQL, async) that clients can depend on and extend.

What we're looking for

7+ years of software engineering, including recent hands-on development of production enterprise systems.
A track record shipping well-architected, reliable, secure systems under real load.
Expert-level proficiency in at least one of Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, or C++.
Deep experience with APIs, microservices, distributed and event-driven systems, and cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, Azure).
Proficiency with relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB) databases.
CI/CD, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code.
Daily hands-on use of coding agents, with the discipline to review and validate AI-generated code.
Strong communicator across technical and non-technical stakeholders; comfortable in ambiguous, customer-facing work; willing to travel.

Nice to have

Enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, data warehouses) and complex integration patterns; modern data stacks (data lakes, semantic layers, streaming).
Financial or fintech systems, or other highly regulated environments; open-source infrastructure or backend contributions.
Consulting, solutions engineering, or startup background; published work or talks on system design and software engineering.
