The Engineering AI team aims to accelerate the velocity of product engineering teams at Second Nature through the use of AI workflows and tools. This is a hands-on staff role on a small, senior team that ships to production every day. You will own systems end to end — architecture through operation — and you will be writing and merging code daily, not just directing it. We hold a single, high bar: you would clear the staff-engineer bar on any strong product team. We index on engineering strength and shipping velocity over any particular tool or domain — great engineers ramp into ours fast, and we expect you to. How We Work - We deploy to production multiple times a day, every day; over 100 reviewed PRs a month on a small team. Small batches, fast feedback. We ship quickly and safely. - High autonomy, low process overhead, real ownership. You pick up ambiguous problems and drive them to shipped, observable, operated systems. - Ramp expectation: you'll open PRs in your first week and be shipping to production at the team's cadence within two weeks; regardless of prior domain experience. We hire people who ramp fast and ship. What you’ll do - Own the design, architecture, and delivery of production backend services and distributed, stateful workflow systems — end to end. - Ship daily: small, well-tested, reviewed changes merged continuously via a trunk-based, PR-per-change workflow. - Using our AI coding agent workflow, produce high-quality, thoroughly tested code. You will apply your experience and expertise into detailed upfront feature scoping and planning, so the agent can execute on implementing the code. - Own the reliability and observability of what you ship — tracing, metrics, structured logging, alerting, and production debugging. - Drive architectural decisions for scalability, performance, and maintainability; resolve complex technical issues and optimize systems under real load. - Raise the bar through code review, and by improving the team's developer tooling, CI/CD, and workflow. - Translate ambiguous product and business requirements into shipped systems, working across product and engineering stakeholders. - Mentor engineers and help set technical direction; communicate decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences. ✅ KEY OUTCOMES (FIRST 90 DAYS) - Master our AI workflow: Integrate our AI tooling while rigorously auditing and refining AI-generated code and tests to meet our quality bar. - Ship rapidly and reliably: Consistently deliver high-impact PRs with minimal rework by ensuring thorough local testing and CI/CD readiness before review. - Plan with pragmatism: Adopt our norm of writing lightweight plans (outlining phases, trade-offs, and "good enough" criteria) for non-trivial work before coding. - Own a full experim
