Working knowledge of SQL and NoSQL data stores
Experience producing and maintaining automated test suites (unit, integration, or end-to-end)
Experience working in Agile delivery environments with CI/CD pipelines
Strong written communication skills; able to write clear specs, meaningful code review feedback, and async updates for a global team
Preferred Qualifications/Experience:
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or equivalent) and microservices architectures
Familiarity with containerization, infrastructure-as-code, or observability tooling
Experience developing or integrating with AI/ML features in a production SaaS product
Background in B2B SaaS, CRM, or revenue technology

We understand that no candidate is perfectly qualified for any job. Experience comes in different forms; many skills are transferable; and passion goes a long way. Even more important than your resume is a clear demonstration of dedication, impact, and the ability to thrive in a fluid and collaborative environment. We want you to learn new things in this role, and we encourage you to apply if your experience is close to what we're looking for. We also know that diversity of background and thought makes for better problem solving and more creative thinking, which is why we're dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team.

## Description

Work from executable specifications - write clear SDD/BDD specs and acceptance criteria as the primary input for AI-assisted code generation, and keep them current as implementation evolves
Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalents) as standard equipment across the full SDLC, from spec to implementation to test generation to code review
Apply critical judgment to AI-generated code and agentic attestations before merge - assess correctness, edge cases, security implications, and alignment with the spec; your review is a real gate, not a formality
Contribute to the team's agentic development practices: spec standards, attestation norms, and how the team uses AI tools responsibly
Feature Delivery
Design, implement, and ship features and components that are reliable, maintainable, and built to perform in high volume, high-availability SaaS environments
Ensure agentic code is clean, well tested, and follows the standards that make it easy to understand and extend by both agentic systems and your teammates
Own your feature areas end-to-end, from understanding the requirement to production delivery, including identifying and resolving defects before they reach customers
Code Quality & Review
Review outputs, including AI-generated code and agentic attestations, with the care and rigor the team depends on; catch what automation misses
Orchestrate unit and integration test development that verifies real behaviour, not just execution paths; apply the same critical eye to test quality as to production code
Contribute to the team's technical standards and raise the bar on engineering operations excellence across all facets of our AI SDLC
Collaboration & Systems Thinking
Work closely with product managers, designers, and QA engineers to understand requirements and build the right thing, not just the specified thing
Think beyond your immediate feature: understand the systems your code interacts with, the data it produces, and the downstream effects of your design decisions
Communicate clearly in writing in specs, in code reviews, in async updatesto keep cross-functional and globally distributed teams aligned
Participate in agile and team ceremonies, including Sprint Review, Program Reviews, and other technical presentations
