• Assist in scaling our SaaS shared services platform, which includes identity, billing, licensing, and more.

• Take responsibility for application performance and stability by monitoring error rates, reviewing system metrics, and leading incident responses.

• Drive the team's adoption of agentic engineering practices—leveraging AI coding tools (such as Claude Code) not only for productivity but to rethink our approach to complex, multi-step engineering tasks.

• Share insights within the team and help establish best practices as this area evolves rapidly.

• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and one-on-one guidance.

• Cultivate a psychologically safe team environment where engineers can voice concerns, ask questions, and develop.

• Understanding of modern deployment practices: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.

• Security-conscious mindset: you consider authentication, data protection, and attack surfaces as part of the normal development process.

• Experience with application performance monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Sentry for error tracking, Grafana for logs and system metrics).

• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted or agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot Workspace, or similar).

• Ideally, experience extending beyond autocomplete—using agents for code generation, refactoring, test writing, or automating multi-step tasks.

• A natural mentor who finds genuine satisfaction in helping junior engineers grow.

• A good listener who allows space for different perspectives before reaching conclusions.

• Calm under pressure and adept at navigating disagreements—whether between individuals or competing technical approaches.

• Strong written and verbal English skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to both engineers and non-engineers.
