Software Engineer II

What's the role?

As a software engineer with hands-on, experience using AI coding assistants in a professional setting for daily development workflow such as scaffolding services, generating and refactoring code, writing tests, exploring unfamiliar parts of the codebase, debugging, and reviewing diffs. Take ownership of every single line of code no matter how it is generated or developed.  You will play a key role in designing, building, and evolving complex, scalable services including large scale data processing. You will deliver services for high availability, with high quality, from design through deployment, while contributing to engineering best practices and a strong team culture.

 Develop algorithms, designing, developing, and maintaining services using Java, Scala, or PythonCreating and communicating technical designs through clear proposals, design specifications, and diagramsAbility to do root cause analysis and improve product qualityBuild software for the cloudCollaborating effectively within and across teams, architects and cross functionalDriving engineering best practices with a focus on simplicity, quality, reliability, and measurable impactMaking balanced technical decisions by evaluating trade‑offs between delivery speed, quality, and long‑term maintainabilityRecommending and justifying architectural or product changes using data‑driven reasoning and analysisMentoring team members and contributing to the continuous improvement of engineering culture, processes, and standardsUse AI-assisted CI/CD workflows to automate, optimize and speed up software delivery pipeline reducing Mean time to Recover, predictive failure detection, AI-powered code reviews and refactoring Who are you?

Hands-on, daily experience using AI coding assistants in a professional setting. You can clearly articulate when to delegate a task to an agent versus write it by hand, how you verify AI-generated code, and how you avoid the common failure modes (hallucinated APIs, plausible-but-wrong refactors, silent test weakening). Skilled at decomposing ambiguous problems into specs that both humans and agents can execute against — writing clear prompts, providing the right context, and iterating in tight loops. You have strong problem‑solving skills and a passion for building high‑quality systems. You bring deep technical expertise along with a collaborative mindset and a desire to make an impact. 

 Experience Strong coding experience in Java or Scala, or Python, with the ability to design and maintain complex, production‑grade servicesUse AI‑powered coding assistants (such as Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity AI) to improve productivity, including writing effective prompts for coding, debugging, testing, and documentationDevelop Automated tests realizing strong test suite builds confidence and trust what the model producedExperience establishing team-wide AI coding practices: prompt libraries, review checklists, guardrails, evaluation loops.Familiarity with MCP servers, agentic workflows, or wiring AI tools into internal developer tooling.Experience with Continuous Integration tools like GitLab, and comfortable integrating AI-assisted review and checks into the pipeline.Produce high-quality, readable, well-documented code and hold AI-generated code to the same standard.Comfortable working in a Scrum team with strong communication and collaboration skills. Willing to share prompts, patterns, and lessons learned so the whole team levels up together.Hands‑on experience building and operating scalable services in a cloud environment, preferably AWSExperience working with distributed systems, service‑oriented architectures, and modern development practicesThe ability to communicate technical ideas clearly through written and visual documentationExperience collaborating with global and cross‑functional stakeholdersA thoughtful, data‑informed approach to technical decision‑makingA mentoring mindset and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement Who are we?
