Engineering Specialist (Po - Eng - 20251120)

We're looking for a senior technologist to join us as an Engineering Specialist—a player-coach who leads delivery, drives architectural decisions, mentors engineers, and works directly with customers to bring software to life. This is a technology leadership role, and you'll also be part of building the next generation of AI tooling that's changing how engineering gets done.

What You'll Do

  • Lead, Architect, Deliver
  • Serve as the technical lead across multiple projects, guiding distributed remote teams.
  • Translate high-level customer needs into concrete technical solutions and execution plans.
  • Architect systems, review code, maintain engineering quality, and deliver with velocity.
  • Write and debug critical path code, unblock teams, and ensure engineering clarity and focus.
  • Act as the technical point of authority for our customers, helping them understand and align with design decisions, tradeoffs, and system evolution.
  • Represent & Advise
  • Represent the design and development work to customers—clearly articulating architecture choices, technical strategies, and rationale behind decisions.
  • Act as a trusted technology advisor, helping customers navigate complexity and make sound decisions for the long-term health of their product.
  • Balance technical idealism with business realities—you know when to ship and when to scale.
  • Leverage and Build AI Tools
  • Use AI development tools to accelerate your work and empower your team.
  • Collaborate with our internal tools team to improve and extend our AI capabilities based on real-world usage and friction points.
  • Contribute to the next wave of developer tooling—not just as a user, but as a builder of the future.

What We're Looking For

  • Must-Haves
  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably with experience in a lead or staff-level role.
  • Excellent communicator who can confidently interface with customers and engineering teams alike.
  • Ability to break down complex problems, drive clarity, and rally teams around shared goals.
  • Deep hands-on experience with multiple modern languages.
  • Comfort working across multiple codebases and ecosystems.
  • Willingness to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies, stacks, and paradigms—even those you've never touched before.
  • Strong technical judgment and a bias for action.
  • Bonus Points
  • Experience with distributed or remote teams.
  • Contributions to AI/ML products or developer tools.
  • Startup experience, especially with fast-paced delivery and evolving requirements.
  • A strong opinion about how software should be built—tempered by pragmatism.

Why This Role Is Different

  • It's a tech leadership role—without the red tape. Own architecture, delivery, and team health while still writing real code.
  • You'll build relationships with customers. Be the technical face on the ground helping customers understand, trust, and champion our work.
  • You'll be part of a tight feedback loop. From design to production, your impact is visible immediately.
  • You're not just using AI—you're shaping it. Help design the tools that redefine how engineers build software.
  • Work globally, lead locally. Diverse team, high ownership, and big impact—without the bloat.
  • Serious growth. Our company is scaling fast, and this role has room to grow with it.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
