Senior Software Engineer

About the role

This role is for the engineer who has seen what "going fast" actually costs, knows how to build systems that hold up, and still gets things out the door. This is a Senior Software Engineer position where you will lead the design and implementation of platform services, own technical decisions end-to-end, and drive the integration of LLM-based and agentic AI capabilities into production systems.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of platform services — scalable, observable, and maintainable systems that power our AI products
• Own technical decisions end-to-end: architecture, APIs, data models, performance, and security
• Build and extend backend systems in TypeScript and Python; shape frontend experiences in JavaScript
• Drive the integration of LLM-based and agentic AI capabilities into production systems — this is applied AI engineering, not research
• Define and enforce engineering standards: code review, testing strategies, deployment practices, and incident response
• Embed AI-native tooling (Claude Code, Cursor) into your daily workflow and help the team get better at it
• Work side-by-side with product, design, and data — in the office, in real time, every day

Requirements

5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping impactful, production-grade systems

A portfolio of work you led, not just contributed to — you can walk through design decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes

Deep proficiency in TypeScript and/or Python; solid JavaScript for frontend contributions

Strong platform engineering instincts: distributed systems, API design, cloud architecture (AWS/GCP), observability

Fluent in AI/ML engineering: you've built on top of LLMs, understand prompt engineering, and know where AI adds value — and where it doesn't

Experience designing systems under real constraints — latency, reliability, cost, and scale

BS/BA in Computer Science; graduate degree a plus (we take fundamentals seriously)

Self-directed and decisive: you identify problems before they're assigned, propose solutions before they're requested, and close loops without reminders

Committed to 5 days/week — the collaboration is real and intentional

Qualifications

Production experience with conversational AI, dialogue systems, NLP pipelines, or agentic architectures

Background in fintech, banking infrastructure, or regulated financial environments
