- Working across AWS, cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD and observability

- Experience with AI-generated code, coding agents, agentic workflows, evaluation or AI-assisted development
- Strong engineering judgement around quality, security, resilience and failure modes
- Someone who remains genuinely hands-on and technically close to the work
This isn't an ML research role or a people-management position. It's an opportunity for an experienced software engineer with strong fundamentals to help shape what AI-first software engineering looks like at enterprise scale.
