Software Engineer

Requirements

• Proven ability to take an undefined problem from discovery to delivery with little supervision.
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Copilot) and the judgment to validate their output.

• Take part in the rewrite of core systems, shaping architecture and migration strategy.
• Present options with clear trade-offs to engineering leadership and drive decisions to completion.
