Where you fit in
We’re a high-velocity, impact-driven team building software and data-driven solutions at the edge of innovation. Whether launching products from zero to one or helping clients adapt to emerging technologies, we operate in dynamic environments where experimentation, rapid delivery, and collaboration are constant. AI isn’t an add-on here - it’s embedded in how we design, build, test, and ship. From AI-assisted coding and automated test generation to intelligent architecture reviews and data-driven decision loops, we leverage AI-native workflows to move faster and build smarter.
We’re looking for a seasoned technologist who thrives in AI-enabled environments and understands how to amplify engineering output using modern AI tooling. You won’t just manage projects; you will define how AI-driven digital excellence happens here; setting standards for prompt engineering, code generation workflows, automated QA, intelligent documentation, and continuous learning systems.
You’re a senior-level engineer with a wide-ranging technical toolkit and a strong bias toward leveraging AI to increase velocity and quality. You’ve built and shipped products, integrated AI into real delivery pipelines, and know how to move from concept to production under pressure. You’re comfortable orchestrating AI copilots, designing human-in-the-loop systems, and embedding automation across the SDLC. You’re also client-savvy. You can lead conversations, uncover needs, manage stakeholders, and translate business objectives into technical and AI-enabled delivery strategies. You understand how to position AI not as hype, but as a pragmatic accelerator - reducing time to value, improving quality, and unlocking new solution spaces. You thrive in fast-paced environments where agility, experimentation, and initiative are essential; and where AI is a core multiplier of team performance.
What you will do
Architect and build scalable, innovative software solutions; internally and for clients
Lead engagements with clients, acting as both a trusted advisor and technical owner
Rapidly prototype, iterate, and validate solutions using modern technologies
Balance short-term deliverables with long-term vision for scalable systems
Work across cross-functional teams to align product goals, timelines, and execution
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to growing a culture of technical excellence
Evaluate new technologies to be implemented at scale for citizen impact
Embed AI-native development workflows across the SDLC, leveraging AI copilots, code generation, automated test creation, and intelligent documentation to increase velocity and quality
Design and operationalize AI-assisted engineering practices, including prompt engineering standards, human-in-the-loop review processes, and continuous model evaluation to ensure secure, scalable, and production-ready delivery
Our core tech stack (flexible)
Backend: C# / .NET / Python
Frontend: React / Next.js
Database: MSSQL, Postgres, Elasticsearch, MongoDB
Cloud: Azure or Google
Dev Tools: Git, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Terraform, Ansible
ML/AI: Langchain, LangGraph, N8n, scikit-learn, Ollama, Claude Code
Requirements
What you’ll bring

Proficiency in React and/or Next.js for modern frontend development
Experience working with cloud services (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
Strong communication and client management skills; comfortable owning technical delivery in client settings
A passion for learning and working with emerging technologies
Ability to work independently in fast-paced, dynamic environments
Knowledge on how to integrate AI agentic development workflows to strong engineering practices
Bonus points for:
Prior consulting, agency, or client-facing experience
Experience designing cloud-native architectures and using infrastructure-as-code tools
Open-source contributions or published technical content
Familiarity with data science workflows or machine learning integration
Benefits
Perks and opportunities
