Senior Software Engineer, Investigations

• Professional Experience:
• At least 5 years delivering production software, including work other teams depended on, and the judgment to know a design is wrong before it's expensive.
• Technical Proficiency:
• Depth in Go or TypeScript, and quick to pick up the other.
• Designs, versions, and evolves RESTful APIs other teams depend on.
• Fluent with PostgreSQL and with large analytical datasets
• Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design.
• Cloud Experience:
• Production experience with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, and EC2.
• Communication:
• Sharp writing. Specs and design docs are the primary artifact, for humans and agents both.
• Engineering Practices:
• Full lifecycle fluency: code review, source control, build and deploy. We use GitHub, GitHub Actions, and AWS CodeBuild.
• Owns testing, CI/CD, observability, and on-call for what you ship.

• Ships production code with agentic tools, and can say where they failed and what changed.
• Decomposes ambiguous problems into work an agent can execute. The spec sets the ceiling.
• Reads unfamiliar code fast and catches the plausible-but-wrong. Treats AI output as a draft, not an answer.
• Digs into unfamiliar parts of a system rather than routing around them.
• Learns deliberately, and can point to something picked up recently.

Nice to Have

• Built an internal tool or agent workflow that other engineers adopted.
• Built evals, golden datasets, or regression checks for LLM output, whether a product feature or code generation.
• Adopted an AI-native delivery method such as spec-driven development or AWS's AI-DLC, including the agent rules that make it repeatable.
• Large-scale data processing with Spark or Databricks.
• Python for agent work, such as LangGraph or Bedrock.
• Background in cybersecurity or identity threat protection.
