- BS/MS in Computer Science with 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Demonstrated ownership of a production web application end-to-end: backend (Python; FastAPI or similar), relational database design (PostgreSQL, SQL, schema migrations), and frontend work.
- Experience integrating with enterprise SaaS APIs (e.g. Atlassian suite, Microsoft 365, GitHub/Bitbucket) and cloud infrastructure APIs (compute/storage, job schedulers).
- Working knowledge of identity and access management — RBAC, SSO/OAuth2, and group provisioning via a directory service (LDAP or equivalent).
- Experience designing systems of record or inventory/asset-tracking tools, and the dashboards that surface their data to different audiences.
- Exposure to licensing, entitlement, or lifecycle-tracking systems (software licenses, IP/asset lifecycle, or similar compliance-adjacent tracking) is a strong plus.
- Fluency with AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as part of a daily development workflow.
- A strong bias toward automating manual, cross-functional processes, and comfort scoping those flows directly with non-technical stakeholders (IT, HR, Finance).
- A track record as a hands-on technical lead — someone who owns architecture decisions and personally builds a meaningful share of the system, not just one who delegates.
What strong candidates often look like
They've owned an internal platform end-to-end before — not just contributed features to one — and are as comfortable designing a database schema as they are debugging a flaky integration with a third-party API. They understand that access provisioning, asset tracking, and building insights are fundamentally the same problem — manual handoffs that should be code — and they get energy from turning that insight into a working system. They use AI coding tools fluently as part of how they build, not as an occasional aid.
They can sit with an IT or Finance stakeholder, map out a manual process on a whiteboard, and walk away knowing exactly what to build — and they're just as comfortable being the only engineer on the project as they are pulling in help when the roadmap demands it.
Why this role is interesting
This is a rare chance to take full technical ownership of a live, actively used platform and decide where it goes next, while also getting a clean slate to stand up entirely new systems from scratch. You'll shape how the company automates the operational work that would otherwise fall to spreadsheets and manual approvals, with modern tools and a short, direct feedback loop between building something and seeing it used. The scope is broad by design: the same platform mindset that automates one workflow today extends naturally to the next — so the systems you build compound rather than living in isolation.
