The Senior Software Engineer leads implementation of complex features and epics, owns technical design end to end, and multiplies the pod's output — both by mentoring other engineers and by modeling what AI-first engineering actually looks like in practice.
What You'll Do:
- Feature & Epic Implementation (45%): Lead implementation of medium-to-large complexity features or epics, decomposing the work into tasks other engineers can pick up.
- Architecture & Solution Design (20%): Own technical design for self-contained or multi-service solutions, including proposing and diagramming the approach.
- Mentorship & Code Review (20%): Actively mentor Intermediate and junior engineers, and model AI-first practice so it spreads through the pod rather than staying one person's habit.
- Client & Stakeholder Engagement (15%): Lead technical discovery sessions, act as technical SME in client conversations, and contribute to pre-sales.
What You Bring:
- 5–8 years of experience, including leading feature- or epic-level work.
- A track record of using AI coding tools to materially speed up delivery.
- Strong system design, testing, and mentorship instincts.
- Comfort engaging directly with clients and stakeholders on technical topics.
Nice to Have:
- Experience standardizing engineering practices or contributing to a shared config/skills library.
- Experience with agentic or GenAI systems in production.
What Success Looks Like:
- Complex Feature/Epic Leadership: Leads complex features and epics through to delivery with a consistently low post-deployment defect rate.
- AI-Accelerated Technical Design: Turns requirements into approved technical designs in a fraction of the time it used to take, using AI-assisted design and prototyping.
- Reusable IP & AltaForge Contribution: Ships or evolves reusable components into AltaForge or shared libraries that see strong adoption elsewhere.
- Mentorship Impact: Runs regular mentoring/pairing sessions with clear, visible skill growth in mentees.
- Client Confidence: Leads technical discovery/SME sessions that consistently earn strong client satisfaction.
