Principal AI-Native Software Engineer

Required

• Significant experience operating at the Staff, Principal, or equivalent engineering level, with 8+ years of professional software development experience.
• A track record of independently delivering complex, production software in partnership with Product and Design teams.
• Expert-level experience with Claude Code. This is a mandatory requirement. You must be able to demonstrate substantial product development with Claude Code — not merely autocomplete, isolated code generation, or simple prompting.
• Experience coordinating multiple AI agents or development sessions in parallel, with a deep understanding of agent context, skills, sub-agents, tool use, planning, verification, and orchestration.
• Production experience with both a dynamic language ecosystem and a strongly-typed one. Production TypeScript/Node.js experience is required.
• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and document/NoSQL databases. MongoDB experience is required.
• Hands-on experience deploying and operating production software in a distributed, cloud-based environment (e.g., AWS EC2/ECS, Lambda, Cloud Run) within a service-oriented or micro-service architecture, across AWS, GCP, or both.
• Hands-on experience applying AI/ML in production. For example integrating LLMs or other models into products or workflows, building retrieval or agentic systems, prompt/eval design, or on-device/edge inference.
• Extensive experience developing and maintaining APIs and integrating with third-party APIs.
• Strong experience with automated CI/CD pipelines and a deep understanding of testing what, when, and how to test.
• Strong ability to translate business and product requirements into technical requirements and implementation plans.
• Strong product judgment, including the ability to understand user intent, identify edge cases, and recognize when an implementation does not satisfy the underlying requirement.
