Job Description

Posted on: August 17, 2026

FinTech | AI-Augmented Engineering | Distributed Systems


Senior Software Engineer (AI-Native Development)


Remote, with occasional travel to Dallas

Full-Time position

Budget: up to 170,000USD/annum + stock options and other benefits


We're looking for a highly experienced Senior Software Engineer to join a team building complex, production-grade systems at scale.


This is not a traditional principal engineering role. We're specifically looking for someone who has embraced AI-native software development and spent the last few years leveraging LLM-powered coding assistants, agent-driven workflows, and AI-enhanced engineering practices to accelerate delivery and improve software quality.


You'll remain deeply hands-on, designing and building distributed systems while helping shape how modern engineering teams operate in an AI-augmented world.


Senior Software Engineer - Responsibilities:

  • Designing and building scalable backend and distributed systems
  • Delivering production-ready software across the full development lifecycle
  • Using AI tools daily for coding, debugging, refactoring and testing
  • Leveraging agent-based workflows to improve engineering productivity
  • Optimising performance, reliability and scalability of existing systems
  • Working closely with product and engineering teams to deliver business-critical features


Senior Software Engineer - Requirements:

  • ~15 years of hands-on software engineering experience
  • Strong expertise in Java and Spring Boot ecosystem
  • Deep experience with distributed systems and backend architecture
  • Production experience with AWS and PostgreSQL
  • Strong understanding of secure software development and cybersecurity best practices
  • Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants and agent-based development workflows
  • Passion for shipping high-quality software quickly and efficiently


(BONUS POINTS):

  • FinTech, payments, trading or financial systems experience
  • Experience building developer tooling or engineering platforms
  • Exposure to autonomous coding agents and AI-driven software delivery


If you're excited about combining decades of engineering experience with the latest AI-powered development practices, we'd love to speak with you!
