AI Software Engineer - The FactoryVerified as a real position

Who we’re looking for

• You’ve actually built with AI coding/agent tools in real workflows (not just demoed them).
• Strong TypeScript and/or Python (bonus if you’ve worked with Ruby on Rails ).
• Comfort with prompt design, agent orchestration patterns, and basic LLM evaluation (offline and/or in-product signals).
• You understand software architecture well enough to teach an agent about it: boundaries, trade-offs, conventions, and what “good” looks like in a real codebase.
• Hard requirement (the only one): hands-on experience with at least one AI-native dev/agent tool (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or similar). If you’ve used one deeply, we can help you ramp on the rest.

What you’ll do

• Build and extend The Factory , our multi-agent system that processes GitLab issues end-to-end through specialised agents.
• Ship production-grade workflows that move from issue → plan → code → review → merge request.
• Iterate quickly while keeping quality high through strong interfaces, tests, and system design.
• Design robust agentic workflows using tools like BAML , MCP , and DSPy (or equivalents).
• Build guardrails that keep outputs predictable: structured outputs, tool/function calling patterns, retries, and fallbacks.
• Ensure workflows degrade gracefully when context is missing, requirements are ambiguous, or models behave unexpectedly.
• Implement context retrieval across repos: ownership boundaries, relevant files, conventions, and dependencies.
• Build code generation and automated review loops that respect architecture and patterns in the codebase.
• Create merge request creation flows (branching, commit hygiene, CI awareness, and reviewer-friendly diffs).
• Work daily with AI-native dev tools: Claude Code , Codex , Gemini CLI , and whatever drops next week.
• Continuously evaluate new AI development tools and decide what’s worth integrating (and what isn’t).
• Improve developer experience: faster cycles, fewer regressions, better signals for humans reviewing AI-generated changes.
