Role Summary
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 (shared CLAUDE.md, skills library) 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 (Claude Code or equivalent) to materially speed up delivery — you can speak concretely to how, not just that you use one.
-
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 — the weeks-to-days compression this role is expected to drive for the pod.
-
Reusable IP & AltaForge Contribution: Ships or evolves reusable components into AltaForge or shared libraries that see strong adoption elsewhere — moving the AltaForge Clients and Same-Agent-Across-Clients north stars.
-
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 — supporting USD Revenue % and Recurring License Sales % where the engagement is US-based or license-oriented.
