The Senior Software Engineer leads implementation of complex features and epics, owns technical design end to end, and multiplies the pod's output - both by mentoring other engineers and by modeling what AI-first engineering actually looks like in practice.
What You'll Do:
Feature & Epic Implementation (:45%)
- Lead implementation of medium-to-large complexity features or epics, decomposing the work into tasks other engineers can pick up.
- Own technical design for self-contained or multi-service solutions, including proposing and diagramming the approach.
- Actively mentor Intermediate and junior engineers, and model AI-first practice (shared CLAUDE.md, skills library) so it spreads through the pod rather than staying one person's habit.
- Lead technical discovery sessions, act as technical SME in client conversations, and contribute to pre-sales.
- 5–8 years of experience, including leading feature- or epic-level work.
- A track record of using AI coding tools (Claude Code or equivalent) to materially speed up delivery - you can speak concretely to how, not just that you use one.
- Strong system design, testing, and mentorship instincts.
- Comfort engaging directly with clients and stakeholders on technical topics.
- Experience standardizing engineering practices or contributing to a shared config/skills library.
- Experience with agentic or GenAI systems in production.
- Complex Feature/Epic Leadership: Leads complex features and epics through to delivery with a consistently low post-deployment defect rate.
- AI-Accelerated Technical Design: Turns requirements into approved technical designs in a fraction of the time it used to take, using AI-assisted design and prototyping - the weeks-to-days compression this role is expected to drive for the pod.
- Reusable IP & AltaForge Contribution: Ships or evolves reusable components into AltaForge or shared libraries that see strong adoption elsewhere - moving the AltaForge Clients and Same-Agent-Across-Clients north stars.
- Mentorship Impact: Runs regular mentoring/pairing sessions with clear, visible skill growth in mentees.
- Client Confidence: Leads technical discovery/SME sessions that consistently earn strong client satisfaction - supporting USD Revenue % and Recurring License Sales % where the engagement is US-based or license-oriented.
