You'll ship features that directly help the employees of our enterprise clients find the right support at the right time. We're using Claude Code throughout the SDLC, exploring how we evolve our development practices to leverage AI where it meaningfully helps. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to deepen AI-assisted development skills in a team that's investing in them. What you'll do You'll ship features end-to-end. Break initiatives into deliverable slices, design solutions, write the code, and see them through testing, deployment and monitoring in production. You'll own the design for what you deliver. Choose pragmatic approaches that fit our existing architecture, write RFCs where appropriate, and make sensible trade-offs without needing extensive guidance. You'll keep things reliable. Respond to incidents and bugs in your team’s domain, improve observability where it's lacking, and uphold the security and performance commitments we make to clients. You'll improve what you touch. Tackle tech debt, refactor and upgrade dependencies where it unblocks delivery or reduces risk. You'll embed AI into how you deliver. Use Claude Code throughout your workflow - scoping, designing, coding, reviewing, documenting - and contribute to our collective learning by sharing what's working back to the team. 🌟 About You In the spirit of equity and continuous growth, we invite you to remove education from your CV.
