Agent-accelerated development
- Use coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as primary tools to increase velocity, with structured prompting and task decomposition.
- Review, validate, and refactor all agent-generated code with full rigor, catching logic errors, performance bottlenecks, and security holes.
- Hold coding standards, performance baselines, and security gates across the codebase, and override the AI when human judgment should win.
Performance & reliability
- Optimize for latency, throughput, and resource efficiency with caching, async patterns, query optimization, and load distribution.
- Build in fault tolerance: graceful degradation, circuit breakers, retry logic, and failover.
- Instrument systems with logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerting; load-test and capacity-plan against real conditions.
Security & compliance
- Design authentication, authorization, encryption, and audit logging across systems.
- Apply secure coding practices against injection, privilege escalation, and data exposure; threat-model and run security reviews.
- Meet enterprise compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR) and stay current with new threats.
Data & integration
- Design databases, data pipelines, and event-streaming architectures aligned to business requirements.
- Build reliable, auditable integrations with enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, data warehouses).
- Design APIs (REST, GraphQL, async) that clients can depend on and extend.
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of software engineering, including recent hands-on development of production enterprise systems.
- A track record shipping well-architected, reliable, secure systems under real load.
