Senior Software Engineer, Internal AI

Required

• 6+ years building and operating backend applications in production. Bias toward application, integration, and data-pipeline work rather than pure infrastructure.
• Real infrastructure sensibility. You understand hosting, identity, secrets, and data flow well enough to collaborate credibly with a core infrastructure team.
• Strong architectural vocabulary. Comfortable reviewing others’ designs (engineers and non-engineers) and saying “use this pattern, not that one” with empathy.
• Pragmatist. Picks the smallest tool that works — sometimes Python/Node, sometimes n8n, frequently “don’t build it, here’s an existing skill you should use with Claude Cowork”
• Hands-on with modern AI tooling: Claude Code, Cowork, MCP, LLM APIs, evals. Opinionated about where AI is the wrong solution.
• Strong communicator. Much of this role is consulting engineers and non-engineers and holding a line without becoming a blocker.
• Comfortable in ambiguity. The function is new and the paved roads don’t fully exist yet.
