In a model where most code is written by coding agents (Claude Code), the engineer is responsible for everything that determines whether that code is correct: architecture, service boundaries, specifications precise enough to implement without guesswork, and review of every line those ships. This is a role for an engineer who already works AI-first — not for vibe coders.Key Responsibilities:Design services, data models, APIs and transactional boundaries from specified requirements.Translate requirements into agent-executable task briefs — small enough to verify, large enough to be worth delegating.Own and evolve the project’s agent context: CLAUDE.md, coding conventions, architectural guardrails and test policy.Review every diff seriously: data model, transaction and concurrency semantics, error handling, migrations, security and performance.Write and maintain tests that pin real behaviour — especially around money, rounding, dates and state machines.Refactor aggressively when generated code is correct in isolation but wrong for the system.Act as reviewer of record for everything you ship, regardless of who or what produced it.Ship in two-week sprints against a defined Definition of Ready and Definition of DoneRequirements:AI-driven development is your actual workflow — not a side experiment, not IDE autocomplete.A track record of shipping meaningful production features by directing coding agents, with the ability to explain in detail how you structure context, decompose tasks, control cost and verify output.Able to read, debug and reason about code you did not write — quickly, in an unfamiliar codebase.Willingness to engage with complex financial and logistics logic instead of routing around it.Qualifications:Strong grounding in domain modelling, relational data design and transaction/consistency semantics.Solid command of idempotency, concurrency, API design, testing strategy and refactoring discipline.Able to explain why a rule exists, not just that a linter enforces it.Work Experience:7+ years building and operating production backend systems.Demonstrated experience delivering production features through AI-driven development / directing coding agents.Technical Skills:Strong Node.js and/or Python.Solid SQL (Postgres).Comfortable with Docker and CI/CD.Strong Git and code-review habits.Familiarity with agent tooling and context engineering (e.g. CLAUDE.md, agent task briefs).
