This person should operate less like a ticket-based contractor and more like a founding engineer assigned to a product area.\nThe ideal candidate can understand user needs, define effective workflows, make sound SaaS architecture decisions, use AI tools to accelerate high-quality development, validate and test generated code, communicate clearly, and move work forward independently in ambiguous environments.\nResponsibilities\nOwn product areas from broad business goals through discovery, design, implementation, testing, and iteration.\nTranslate ambiguous objectives into clear user workflows, product requirements, technical plans, and implementation steps.\nQuestion unclear requirements, identify missing pieces, surface risks and edge cases, and propose better product or technical approaches when appropriate.\nDesign and build polished, intuitive SaaS workflows, including dashboards, tables, filters, forms, detail views, configuration experiences, empty states, loading states, and error states.\nMake thoughtful architecture decisions across data models, APIs, frontend architecture, backend architecture, permissions, integrations, state management, scalability, security, and maintainability.\nUse AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, refactoring, debugging, test creation, documentation, and architectural exploration.\nCritically review, validate, debug, and test AI-generated code to ensure production-quality implementation.\nCommunicate clearly and proactively about requirements, architecture, tradeoffs, implementation status, open questions, risks, and blockers.\nDrive work forward independently while collaborating effectively with product, engineering, design, and business stakeholders.\nQualificationsSenior-level engineering experience with the ability to design, build, validate, and improve production software.\nStrong product judgment, including the ability to understand users, workflows, pain points, business outcomes, and success criteria.\nDemonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity, ask clarifying questions, challenge assumptions respectfully, and make progress without highly detailed tickets.\nAdvanced fluency with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or similar environments.\nAbility to orchestrate AI tools effectively rather than treating them as simple autocomplete or boilerplate generators.\nStrong technical judgment across SaaS architecture, including data modeling, API design, frontend and backend design, permissions, integrations, scalability, error handling, maintainability, and security considerations.\nSolid understanding of modern SaaS UX patterns and the ability to build interfaces that feel intuitive, polished, and product-quality.\nExcellent written communication skills, with the ability to explain reasoning, tradeoffs, risks, blockers, and decisions clearly and concisely.\nOwnership mindset with the ability to act as a force multiplier for the product and engineering organization.\nAdditional Knowledge & SkillsAbility to define product workflows, key screens, data models, permissions models, user actions, edge cases, and implementation approaches from vague product goals.\nExperience using AI for code generation, architecture comparison, debugging, refactoring, test creation, documentation, and rapid iteration.\nAbility to identify hallucinations, flawed logic, architectural gaps, and quality issues in AI-generated output.\nStrong instincts around SaaS admin workflows, multi-tenant considerations, auditability, notifications, readiness tracking, executive summaries, and operational dashboards.\nComfort evaluating tradeoffs between MVP scope, future scale, usability, performance, security, and maintainability.\nAbility to communicate asynchronously with clarity, structure, and appropriate context for technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nStrong candidates will show evidence of owning product, UX, architecture, and implementation together, rather than operating only as a backend, frontend, or ticket-based individual contributor.\nThis role is not a fit for someone who requires fully defined requirements, avoids ambiguity, cannot explain architectural decisions, has weak written communication, or cannot use AI tools at an advanced level.\nAbout the CompanyCyclotron is a Microsoft Solutions Partner focused on the modern workplace, data, and AI.
