Senior Engineer

Individual contributor role focused on performance, platform improvements, and setting standards for agentic engineering. Ship committed work to production within the first three months, then suggest platform improvements. Take a project from prototype to production, such as redesigning part of an event processing or data pipeline for more load. Set the standard for agentic engineering and turn working workflows into patterns other teams adopt. Work within Shape Up, shaping bets and delivering committed work with the team.
