Software

Engineer IIs build and own software features end-to-end within the team, applying design patterns and architectural thinking appropriately, and are trusted to solve ambiguous feature-level problems with sound engineering judgment.

Key Responsibilities

- Build and own software features within the team, applying design patterns and architecture appropriately

- Independently solve ambiguous feature-related problems, breaking them into solvable pieces

- Write comprehensive, independent test suites spanning unit and integration testing

- Understand and apply architectural design patterns to production systems

- Apply security fundamentals independently across the code they write

- Give thorough, constructive code review feedback to peers

- Own observability for their features, and participate in on-call rotations and incident response

- Build a basic RAG pipeline or integrate an LLM API into a product feature

- Communicate technical tradeoffs clearly and begin informally mentoring junior engineers

- Connect their code and design decisions to user and business value

Qualifications

- Professional software engineering experience

- Demonstrated ability to independently design, build, and ship features from spec to production

- Robust grasp of data structures, algorithms, and at least one architectural design pattern in practice

- Experience writing automated test suites (unit and integration) and participating in on-call/incident response

- Familiarity with LLM APIs, prompting techniques, or RAG concepts

- Track record of giving and incorporating constructive code review feedback
