About this role
Role Overview
- Lead the technical design and delivery of AI-native accessioning automation services across paper and electronic requisition forms.
- Build fast, ship independently. Operate in small, high-autonomy pods. Drive deliverables from prototype to production without waiting for consensus.
- Apply AI pragmatically. Use LLMs, vision models, OCR, and IDP frameworks to solve real accessioning problems.
- Own the product outcome, not just the code. Partner directly with Accessioning Operations, Product, and Engineering teams to understand workflows and measure impact in throughput and cost savings.
- Integrate across systems, build into existing mature commerce and fulfillment systems.
- Set the bar for engineering practice on a new team: AI-assisted development, strong test automation, a high leverage ratio enabled by modern tooling, CI/CD, and observability.
- Be curious. Evaluate new AI tools, models, and vendor solutions. Build vs. buy vs. integrate decisions are yours to drive.
- Mentor and multiply. Raise the technical quality of peers through design reviews, pairing, and evangelizing best practices.
Requirements
- BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
- 10+ years of software engineering experience building production systems that handle real business processes or data workflows.
- Demonstrated ability to ship AI-powered features in production.
- Experience with modern AI-assisted development tooling (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) as part of daily workflow.
- Strong backend engineering fundamentals: REST/gRPC APIs, microservices, relational databases, event-driven architectures.
- Proficiency in at least one modern backend stack (Python preferred; Java, Go, or TypeScript also acceptable).
- Experience integrating third-party AI/IDP platforms.
- A track record of working fast and independently.
- Product mindset: you measure success by business outcome, not lines of code.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; you can explain trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
- Commitment to building inclusive, high-performing teams.
