Software Data Engineer

The role

We are a small company that runs its operations on internal software built with AI coding agents (Claude

Code). We have production web applications, databases, scheduled data syncs, and third-party API

integrations in daily use. We are hiring our first dedicated engineer to maintain, fix, and harden these

systems, and then to help build new ones. You will review AI-written code, keep integrations running when

vendor APIs change, and raise the quality bar on testing, deployment, and security.

Expectations

• Read and understand the existing codebase, specs, READMEs, and migration history before changing

anything.

• Diagnose and fix production failures, especially API syncs that break when a vendor changes

something.

• Review AI-generated pull requests line by line; test, challenge, and correct them.

• Build CI/CD, automated tests, and monitoring so failures are caught early and never silent.

• Harden database security, access control, and secrets management.

• Build new features, integrations, data pipelines, and reports.
