Software Dev Engineer, Benefits Experience and Technology (BXT)
About the role
This role is for a tech lead on one of our two biggest product bets within Benefits Engagement Technology and Services (BETS). The focus is on generative-AI and agentic-engineering roles at a large scale, building AI-powered, personalized, and proactive benefits experiences.
Responsibilities
- Own capabilities end to end: design, build, test, launch, and operate features and independently deployable services, including on-call for what you ship.
- Work backwards from the customer: bring a product design perspective to what you build, understanding the need behind the spec and shaping the experience, not just implementing it.
- Turn signed-off specifications into working, tested software, contributing across packages in our open-contribution model and partnering with product experts to refine requirements.
- Work the AI Native build loop day to day: direct coding agents, review human-authored and agent-authored code to the same bar, and own the correctness of what merges.
- Implement and extend the validation that earns autonomy: simulation tests across realistic customer segments, so a change is proven correct across the populations we serve before a human reviews it.
- Integrate with regulated, real-world systems (sensitive customer data, third-party and vendor APIs) with correctness and privacy as non-negotiables.
- Help improve the system that builds the system: when a manual fix reveals a pattern, propose it as a reusable skill in our shared capabilities so agents handle it next time.
Requirements
Basic Qualifications:
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
Qualifications
A successful SDE II here works backwards from the customer, brings a strong product design sense alongside a broad technical toolkit and sound system-design instincts, has a bias for ownership, and is genuinely curious about building software with agent loops rather than back and forth prompting.
Skills
The ideal candidate should have experience programming with at least one software programming language, experience programming with at least one software programming language, and experience programming with at least one software programming language.
