Key skills for this role
Job requirements
• Design and ship features end-to-end across React/TypeScript and Ruby on Rails or Python — from problem definition through architecture, implementation, testing, and release. You own the outcome, not just the ticket.
• Use Claude Code, Cursor, and similar agentic tools as a genuine development partner — structuring problems for AI execution, validating output, and building the shared AI workflows that make the whole squad faster, not just your own.
• Own system design, data modelling, security, and technical debt — the trade-off calls that shape long-term platform health.
• Set and hold a high bar for code quality, including AI-generated code — reviewing for correctness, security, performance, and long-term maintainability, not just whether it runs.
• Own the reliability and scalability of what you ship — better observability, cleaner architecture, fewer production incidents over time.
• Work closely with your Tech Lead, Product Manager, and Design across every initiative — bringing technical depth and a clear point of view on what to build and how.
• Help the engineers around you raise their AI game — share what works (tools, prompting approaches, workflows) and make the whole team faster, not just yourself.
Job responsibilities
• Deep expertise in full-stack software architecture, system design, data modelling, debugging, and security — these fundamentals are non-negotiable.
• Strong proficiency in React + TypeScript and strong proficiency in Ruby on Rails or Python.
• You use Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent agentic tools as your primary development workflow, and can point to meaningfully higher output velocity as a result.
• Ability to critically assess AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, and long-term maintainability. You know when to push back, refactor, or start over — and you do.
• Solid understanding of database design and optimisation (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) including indexing, query optimisation, and data modelling.
• Ability to take ownership, operate with minimal direction, and drive outcomes end-to-end, with a bias toward impact over activity.
• Experience with GraphQL, gRPC, or real-time communication protocols (WebSockets).
• Experience in multi-tenant, data-heavy SaaS applications.
• Familiarity with Marketing Tech, CRM-like systems, or workflow automation products.
• Knowledge of DevOps practices, Infrastructure as Code, or cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure).

More from this employer
• Experience in LegalTech or Professional Services tech.
• Experience designing or orchestrating multi-agent systems — decomposing work across autonomous agents and managing inter-agent communication.
• You ship features at significantly higher velocity than traditional engineering workflows, and the quality and reliability of what you ship is high.
• AI agents and workflows you build are adopted by the squad, multiplying the team’s collective output.
• Architectural and trade-off decisions are yours and they’re sound: AI handles implementation; you own the judgment.
• AI-generated code in the codebase passes the same bar as hand-written code for correctness, security, and long-term maintainability.
• You help define what AI-first engineering looks like at Nexl, and other engineers want to learn from your workflow.
