You will own meaningful slices of the product end-to-end: framing the problem with your squad, designing the solution, shipping it, and measuring whether it actually moved the metric you set out to move. As a Software Engineer, we expect you to set technical direction inside your squad, raise the bar across our codebases, and grow the engineers around you through example and mentorship., * Collaborate with your PM and designer to transform ambiguous challenges into fully instrumented, production-ready software. * Drive technical design for squad-led initiatives-drafting documentation, evaluating trade-offs, and steering the final decision. * Develop and maintain production-grade systems across our web platforms, mobile applications, and third-party integrations. * Troubleshoot complex, cross-system issues with a balanced approach of curiosity and composure. * Continuously elevate our engineering standards through rigorous code reviews, proactive refactoring, and enhanced tooling. * Leverage AI tools (such as Cursor, Copilot, and Claude) as a force multiplier and help define team protocols for their effective use. * Investigate practical applications for AI, ranging from internal workflow automation to features that enhance the member care experience. * Guide the engineers around you, ensuring the team is stronger and more capable through your mentorship. Performance Metrics: * Outcome Impact: Deliver measurable results for your squad by focusing on the most critical user and business problems. * Technical Leadership: Influence technical strategy within your squad through design docs and code, shaping trade-offs early in the process. * Code Quality: Write code that is testable and maintainable-whether human or AI-assisted-while holding the team to high standards. * Problem Solving: Resolve intricate, cross-system technical challenges with a calm and methodical troubleshooting approach. * AI Leverage: Utilize AI tools to enhance velocity and quality, contributing to the team's evolving standards for oversight. * Mentorship: Actively grow the engineering talent around you through Pairing, feedback, and thoughtful code reviews. * Trust: Build strong partnerships with product and design through reliable delivery and sound professional judgment. How we work: * Durable, small squads (PM, designer, 3-4 engineers) with full ownership of their roadmap and outcomes. * High-velocity delivery utilizing trunk-based development, feature flags, and frequent weekly deployments. * An experimental culture where we explore and define the best practices for AI-assisted engineering together. * A balanced, light on-call rotation dedicated to maintaining squad-owned services. * A remote-first environment across the U.S. supported by intentional, periodic travel for team alignment. ## 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) - [Celery on AWS ECS - the art of background tasks & continuous deployment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/561-celery-on-aws-ecs-the-art-of-background-tasks-continuous-deployment) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Getting under the skin: The Social Engineering techniques](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/38-getting-under-the-skin-the-social-engineering-techniques) - [Walking into the era of Supply Chain Risks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/376-walking-into-the-era-of-supply-chain-risks) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Remote Work: Best Practices for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/315-remote-work-best-practices-for-developers) - [Remote, Hybrid, or In-Office: What’s Really Best for Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/638-remote-hybrid-or-in-office-what-s-really-best-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Best Paying Remote Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/255-best-paying-remote-jobs)
