Context
We are building AI-native products on the Anthropic API and MCP, backed by a Django/DRF + PostgreSQL platform with Celery/Redis pipelines and a React/Next.js frontend, deployed on Azure. The team works in an AI-assisted workflow (agentic AI coding tools are a daily tool), and the codebase is young: designs are still being set, and agent patterns, evals and observability are not yet standardised. This is an architect-and-build seat, not a keep-the-lights-on role. The Senior SDE is the technical authority on system design: they decide how services are cut, how data flows, how agents and connectors plug in, and how the system scales and fails safely. They set the bar the Junior SDEs work to.

What the role owns
Own the architecture and the services built on it: design the overall system (service boundaries, data model, integration and agent architecture, MCP tool surface), write the design docs and ADRs, then build the critical paths yourself, build reliable Django/DRF services and async pipelines, decide trade-offs on cost, latency and reliability, review code and designs,



and mentor juniors so repeat issues drop.

The actual workload (by share of time)

System architecture & design (~25%)
Service boundaries, data flow, scalability, multi-tenancy, API contracts, design docs/ADRs, tech-debt strategy
• e.g. "Design the platform for 10x document volume"
• e.g. "Monolith vs services for the agent runtime"
• e.g. "Write the ADR for the queue and storage choices"

Agent, skills & MCP connector architecture (~25%)
Custom agents/subagents, orchestration, skill design, connector and tool design, guardrails, context/memory
• e.g. "Design the multi-agent flow for document review"
• e.g. "Build the connector for the client's DMS"
• e.g. "Turn this SOP into a reusable skill"

Backend delivery (~15%)
Django/DRF, PostgreSQL models and performance, JWT/OAuth2, permissions on the critical paths
• e.g. "Redesign the data model for workflows"
• e.g. "Index and query plan for the
