The role sits within a newly expanded NYC engineering hub and plays a central role in shaping the company's next‑generation platform architecture.

  • Champion the integration of generative AI into software development workflows, including agent‑driven coding and review
  • Evaluate and mitigate risks associated with AI‑assisted development in production systems
  • Contribute to system design documentation, specifications, and long‑term platform roadmap
  • Mentor senior and mid‑level engineers through technical guidance and code reviews

Must‑Have Qualifications

  • 10 - 15 years of professional software engineering experience with significant fullstack ownership
  • Advanced TypeScript expertise across frontend and backend systems
  • Strong experience with server‑side rendering frameworks (e.g. Remix, NestJS, Next‑style architectures)

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline
  • Demonstrated enthusiasm for AI‑assisted development and modern engineering workflows
