You run agentic workflows autonomously and concurrently. * You follow the AI tooling landscape closely: new model releases, emerging agentic workflows, and evolving best practices aren't things you catch up on eventually - they're things you're tracking in real time * You think critically about AI output - you know where it accelerates you, where it introduces risk, and how to verify what it produces * You are able to context switch extremely quickly across concurrent workstreams * Experience working on both 0-to-1 initiatives and complex existing systems - and knowing how to balance building new things with improving what's there * Strong command of relational and NoSQL databases, SQL, and thoughtful database modeling * Familiarity building and observing applications on AWS, and ideally with Datadog or comparable observability tooling * Clear, direct communication - cross-functional partners and async teams can count on you to surface information proactively * Strong instincts for technical tradeoffs informed by both engineering best practices and business priorities ## Description * Take deep ownership of systems and product areas on your team - becoming the go-to technical expert for what you own * Independently investigate, design, and execute solutions across distributed systems with a high degree of ambiguity * Architect, build, and maintain highly available, scalable REST APIs and backend services for internal and external use * Drive system decoupling, modularization, and technical debt reduction - improving long-term maintainability without blocking near-term delivery * Build agentically as your default: leveraging concurrent autonomous agent workflows, owning the output, and keeping a steady queue of aligned work moving * Stay at the forefront of emerging AI tooling and practices, bringing new techniques back to the team and helping raise the floor for how Postscript engineers work * Contribute to how we think about integrating AI into our systems and workflows - not just using AI tools, but helping shape where and how AI creates leverage across the engineering org * Collaborate cross-functionally with product, data, and go-to-market teams - communicating clearly and proactively in an async-first environment * Identify and eliminate single points of failure, improving system resilience and knowledge redundancy across your team * Improve how engineering gets done: bring better tools, fix workflow friction, build internal utilities when the leverage compounds ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Super scaling for the Super Bowl: How to survive 30 million users hitting your backend in 30 minutes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100356-super-scaling-for-the-super-bowl-how-to-survive-30-million-users-hitting-your-backend-in-30-minutes) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai)
