Lead Software Engineer   $60,000 USD/year

Description

Are you tired of legacy systems, sluggish development cycles, and teams that resist innovation? Do you dream of building software where artificial intelligence isn't just a buzzword, but the backbone of everything you create?

While most engineering teams are still stuck in yesterday's methodologies—manually hunting bugs, crossing fingers during deployments, and treating AI as an afterthought—we're pioneering a completely different approach. At Trilogy, we've reimagined software development from the ground up, weaving AI into every fiber of our engineering DNA.

This isn't about sprinkling some machine learning on top of existing processes. We're talking about a fundamental transformation where intelligent systems drive feature conception, autonomous agents detect and resolve issues, and performance optimization happens at machine speed. You'll be architecting the future of B2B software, transforming legacy applications into intelligent, cloud-first solutions that set new industry standards.

Ready to leave conventional software engineering behind and pioneer the AI-native development revolution? Your next chapter starts here. Still comfortable with status quo development practices and manual processes? This opportunity isn't designed for you.

What you will be doing

  • Harness sophisticated analytical frameworks and vector-based retrieval systems to autonomously detect, analyze, and resolve software defects with unprecedented accuracy.
  • Deploy intelligent development agents that conceptualize, architect, and implement breakthrough features for next-generation cloud applications.
  • Partner with distributed engineering teams across continents to deliver enterprise-caliber solutions that redefine industry standards.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Infrastructure Babysitting: We've eliminated tedious operational overhead so your genius can focus on breakthrough innovation rather than maintenance tasks.
  • Meeting Marathon Madness: Your keyboard skills matter more than your conference room presence. Expect maximum creation time, minimal discussion overhead.

Key responsibilities

  • Engineer AI-powered capabilities that revolutionize operational efficiency and equip service providers with game-changing technological advantages.

Candidate requirements

  • Minimum 4 years of hands-on commercial software development experience, with proven expertise in production-grade server-side web application development
  • At least 1 year of practical experience architecting and implementing serverless solutions and cloud-native applications (platform agnostic)
  • Demonstrated proficiency with Generative AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0.dev, etc.); we're seeking engineers who embrace LLM-powered development, not traditional ML specialists
  • Production-level coding expertise in a minimum of two versatile programming languages including TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, or C#
  • Proven track record in API development and implementation
  • Solid foundation in SQL database design and optimization
