We'rean AI-first engineering team, and we treat that as a discipline, not a shortcut. Every engineer here works with agentic coding tools - Claude Codeand GitHub CoPilot are key drivers in our daily work,which changes the shape of the job:

• You'llspend more of your time on design,decompositionand review, and less on typing. Agents handle much of the implementation; you own the architecture, theverificationand everything that ships.

• We invest in the system that makes AI effective: project context, customagentsand skills, MCP integrations and multi-agent code review. Improving that system is engineering work here, andit'spart of the role.

• Judgment matters more, not less. Knowing when to hand work to an agent - and when not to - is a skill we hire for and grow.
