Serverless Engineer   $100,000 USD/year

Description

Software development remains trapped in outdated velocity. Backlogs pile up, delivery cycles stretch across weeks, and code review frequently devolves into checkbox theater designed to satisfy sprint commitments. Teams struggle under the weight of integration fragility, unstable system architectures, and poorly defined requirements. AI coding agents now produce viable code, yet only under conditions of rigorous specification and disciplined oversight. The broader industry continues to add developers rather than addressing the underlying systems that transform requirements into dependable, production-ready software.

Trilogy has chosen a different approach. We operate a fully agentic development pipeline: engineers lead research, specification design, architectural planning, and quality control, while AI agents execute the implementation work. Specifications are authored to be machine-executable by Claude Code, following test-first principles and scoped precisely to contain failure domains. The outcome is continuous deployment of production functionality with significantly faster feedback cycles, reduced integration uncertainty, and elevated confidence in correctness long before code merges to main.

This position is designed for the engineer who prefers designing systems and validating correctness over processing ticket queues. You will allocate approximately 10–20% of your time to research and technical exploration, investigating existing system behavior, technical boundaries, and stakeholder expectations; 40–50% translating those insights into rigorous, test-driven, agent-consumable specifications and architectural choices; and 40–50% supervising and directing implementation execution. You own what reaches production: no silent degradations, no vague specifications, no deflection of accountability.

You will become part of a team that regards specification as a deliverable, review as an engineering practice, and deployment as the singular metric of success. If you are motivated by refined system architecture, precise scoping, and uncompromising validation—and you routinely incorporate tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT into your development process—this environment will suit you. Bring your architectural expertise, your test-driven discipline, and your uncompromising standards for code quality. If this resonates, step forward and shape the next generation of software construction. Apply and demonstrate how you coordinate agents to produce production-grade results at scale.

What you will be doing

  • Technical Discovery: Examining current systems, stakeholder expectations, and available data to map the problem domain and identify technical boundaries
  • Technical Specification: Translating research outputs and stakeholder needs into detailed, executable technical specifications tailored for agentic coding assistants (primarily Claude Code) following spec-driven development practices
  • AI Implementation: Directing AI coding agents through implementation tasks, performing ongoing review and validation of agent-generated code, and merging verified changes into the production codebase

Key responsibilities

  • Continuous deployment of production-quality software features and systems through agentic development workflows, in which AI coding agents perform implementation while engineers own specification, architecture, and quality validation

Candidate requirements

  • Minimum 3 years of professional software engineering experience in production settings
  • Experience taking part in pull request review workflows
  • Experience applying AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor) in professional work
