Staff Software Engineer – AI-Native Development & Agent Orchestration
IgniteTech
Job description
About the role
We are building an AI‑native engineering model where autonomous agents drive the entire software delivery pipeline. As a Staff Software Engineer you will sit at the intersection of product engineering, AI infrastructure, and technical leadership, delivering enterprise‑grade solutions for Fortune 100 customers.
Key responsibilities
- Architect agent‑ready systems, creating context, tooling, evaluation harnesses and guardrails for coding agents to execute full development workflows.
- Orchestrate parallel agent fleets, delegating work across multiple agents, inspecting results against enterprise quality standards, and improving capabilities when agents stumble.
- Ship production features quickly, turning customer feedback captured in the morning into live functionality by the afternoon while maintaining reliability.
- Raise the ceiling for the whole team by packaging improvements—rules, skills, context files, evaluation frameworks—so everyone benefits.
- Lead senior engineers, scope work, review architecture and pull requests, and set technical direction for AI‑native development.
Required profile
- 5+ years of full‑stack web engineering with depth on both front‑end and back‑end, and experience leading senior and mid‑level engineers.
- AI‑native operating style: building prompts, context, rules, and evaluations that let agents deliver autonomously.
- Fluency with top agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or equivalents, and a habit of evaluating alternatives weekly.
- Strong intuition about frontier models, knowing which model fits each task and balancing capability versus cost.
- Product sense and ownership: turning goals into polished solutions, treating “merged” as a midpoint, not the finish line.
- Cloud and CI/CD self‑sufficiency with solid AWS experience, able to stand up, ship, and operate a product end‑to‑end.
- Production LLM integration experience, having shipped real applications powered by LLMs.
- Hands‑on experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Required skills
- Full‑stack web development
- AWS cloud services
- CI/CD pipelines
- LLM integration and prompt engineering
- Agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex)
- Model Context Protocol (MCP)
What we offer
- Unlimited AI budget with no token caps or tooling restrictions.
- Fully remote, async‑first, global work environment focused on deep work.
- Compounding career growth by mastering the leverage layer that lets AI own more work.
- Startup speed combined with enterprise scale, serving Fortune 100 customers.
