Senior Software Engineer

Software development remains mired in inefficiency. Backlogs expand, cycle times stretch across weeks, and code review frequently devolves into perfunctory approval to meet sprint deadlines. Teams struggle with integration risk, fragile system architectures, and ambiguous requirements. AI coding agents now produce viable code, yet only when guided by precise specifications and rigorous oversight. The industry continues adding more developers rather than addressing the underlying systems that transform intent into dependable, production-ready software.

Trilogy has chosen a different direction. We operate an end-to-end agentic development model: engineers lead research, specification, architecture, and quality assurance, while AI agents execute implementation. Specifications are crafted to be executable by Claude Code, following test-first principles and scoped surgically to contain risk. The outcome is continuous production feature delivery with significantly faster feedback cycles, reduced integration surprises, and greater confidence in correctness before code reaches main.

This role is designed for engineers who prefer designing systems and validating correctness over processing tickets. You will allocate approximately 10–20% of your time to research and technical discovery—understanding existing behavior, constraints, and stakeholder requirements; 40–50% translating that knowledge into precise, test-driven, agent-executable specifications and architectural choices; and 40–50% directing and supervising implementation. You own what ships: no silent failures, no vague specifications, no deflecting responsibility to the agent.

You will work with a team that regards specification as a product, review as an engineering practice, and delivery as the sole KPI that matters. If you are motivated by elegant system architecture, surgical scoping, and rigorous validation—and you already integrate tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT into your daily workflow—this environment will suit you. Bring your architectural expertise, your TDD discipline, and your uncompromising standards for code quality. If this resonates, step forward and shape the future of software construction. Apply and demonstrate how you orchestrate agents to deliver production-quality results at scale.
