WHAT YOU’LL DO: * Build and ship production software for Enterprise Technology initiatives, including services, APIs, data models, user interfaces, integrations, tests, and operational tooling. * Direct AI coding agents by writing clear specs, acceptance criteria, implementation plans, and verification steps. * Review and own AI-generated code, tests, pull requests, and migrations for correctness, security, maintainability, and production readiness. * Help establish repeatable AI-assisted engineering practices for Enterprise Technology projects. * Design and implement integration-heavy, data-intensive, and workflow-driven systems for enterprise applications and operational platforms. * Apply and extend AI-assisted engineering tooling, including coding-agent workflows, repo access patterns, context setup, automated verification, and reusable delivery templates. * Track practical delivery metrics such as cycle time, quality, rework, test coverage, cost, adoption, and operational health. * Partner with Product, Security, business stakeholders, and Enterprise Technology teams to deliver secure, maintainable software. * Improve testing, review, observability, documentation, and operational practices for AI-assisted delivery. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: * 12+ years of experience building and shipping production software as a hands-on engineer, senior IC, technical lead, or Staff-level contributor. * Strong production experience with Python and/or TypeScript across backend, frontend, data, API, or cloud-native systems. * Hands-on experience using AI coding agents or tools such as Claude Code, Google Antigravity, Codex, Cursor, or similar systems. * Strong engineering judgment for reviewing AI-generated code and knowing where human oversight is required. * Experience building or integrating services, APIs, relational data stores, event-driven systems, and user-facing workflows. * Familiarity with cloud-native development, preferably GCP, including CI/CD, monitoring, security scanning, and cost-aware engineering. * Understanding of secure engineering practices, role-based access, SSO, audit logging, and controls for enterprise systems. * Ability to influence technical decisions, mentor engineers, and raise quality across a significant system or project area. * Clear written and verbal communication with engineering and non-engineering stakeholders. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: * Experience with enterprise systems, business applications, workflow platforms, data platforms, or internal tools. * Experience with media, streaming, content platforms, or complex business domains. * Experience building developer-facing tools, templates, or internal platforms that help engineers ship software faster and more safely. * Experience with LLM or agent observability tools such as Datadog, LangSmith, Langfuse, or similar systems. * Experience with data migration, compliance-sensitive systems, SOX controls, audit-heavy environments, or complex enterprise integrations.
