About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Maintain living context files such as CLAUDE.md that encode project standards and learned preferences
  • Update context files whenever AI output is corrected
  • Design verification systems, including hooks, CI gates, and acceptance criteria, to reduce line-by-line review of AI output
  • Convert repeated manual corrections into system improvements, rules, reusable skills, and persistent context
  • Run multiple agents on concurrent workstreams and coordinate their output coherently
  • Identify logic errors, architectural drift, and hallucinated APIs that agents miss
  • Improve systems rather than only patching individual outputs
  • Participate in feature implementation, technical design, risk assessment, and delivery estimates
  • Identify dependencies and preparatory work needed to keep the team unblocked
  • Context-switch between concurrent workstreams, priority pivots, and emergent live issues
  • Operate within a large codebase and understand system architecture and connections to CI/CD, automated testing, non-production environments, and linters
  • Evaluate technical debt versus new feature development and account for dependencies affecting estimates
  • Work across a multi-service architecture spanning Django/Python backends, React frontends, and a shared component library
  • Own features end-to-end from database schema through UI components
  • Allocate time to improve development systems alongside feature delivery

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience
  • Proficiency in one or more back-end programming languages, such as Python, Java, Node.js, Go, or Ruby
  • Proficiency in front-end programming languages, including vanilla ES6+ JavaScript and React
  • Experience with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, or other API architectures
  • Strong knowledge of SQL or NoSQL database systems and query optimization techniques
  • Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
  • Familiarity with Docker or Kubernetes
  • Understanding of object-oriented programming, design patterns, and testing
  • Experience with Git or other version control systems
  • Experience with CSS, including responsive layouts, design system tokens, and component-scoped styles
  • Daily use of AI coding assistants such as Cursor, Copilot, Claude, or equivalent
  • Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated output, catch hallucinations, and integrate suggestions with judgment
  • Experience using AI tools for code review, documentation, test generation, or debugging
  • Comfort prompting LLMs for architecture exploration, refactoring, and boilerplate reduction
  • Strong understanding of algorithms and data structures
  • Experience maintaining living AI context files such as CLAUDE.md
  • Experience designing automated verification workflows, hooks, test gates, and CI checks
  • Ability to demonstrate a compound AI system that improves over time through deliberate system investment
  • Experience building systems that verify themselves using rules, hooks, and context files
  • Understanding of how agents can game tests, with concrete detection or prevention strategies
