- Orchestrate AI agents and contribute to automation and agentic workflows that reduce manual effort for marketers
- Participate in code review and our agent-driven delivery process, including verifying AI-generated code
- Own your features across every stage of delivery, with a focus on quality
- Deliver results
Basic Qualifications
- 3+ years of industry experience as a software engineer
- Experience with Go or Java (we are happy to teach the other)
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
- Demonstrable ability to think critically and to solve problems
