multiverse - Senior Software Engineer (Atlas)

• TECHNICAL FOUNDATION • Clean Code: You write tested, scalable code and understand how to make tests an asset rather than a cost. • Systems Thinking: You can design and architect solutions to solve complex business problems and understand the trade-offs of different technical paths. • AI as an Engine: You treat AI as a core tool to improve efficiency and results, not just an optional experiment. • PRODUCT & COMMUNICATION • Ownership: You possess a strong sense of prioritisation, understanding when an issue needs to be fixed immediately and when it can wait. • Clarity: You can explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, inspiring confidence in stakeholders. • OPERATING PRINCIPLES IN ACTION • Solve for Customer Value: You connect your work directly to business outcomes, ensuring every decision creates value for our apprentices and paying customers. • Drivers, Not Passengers: You don’t wait for permission to fix a problem; you proactively unblock yourself and your peers while taking responsibility for your decisions and mistakes. • Be Decisive, Even in Ambiguity: You act with speed, launching "imperfect" solutions to test and learn quickly without shifting blame. • AI to Deliver Outcomes: You are excited about using AI to accelerate development while maintaining high standards for code quality. • WHAT WOULD SET YOU APART • Event-Driven Expertise: Experience with event-driven architecture to help us build even more robust systems. • Mentorship: A track record of actively upskilling others through mentoring, pairing, and impactful code reviews. • Open Source: Contributions to the wider engineering community or a passion for exploring emerging industry trends • WHAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR • Passive Workers: We don't provide rigid sprint plans; we need autonomous problem-solvers who drive outcomes. • Narrow Specialists: This is a full-stack environment where flexibility across the lifecycle—from requirements to deployment—is key. • Perfectionists over Progress: We value "speed as a strategy" and the ability to course-correct quickly over prolonged analysis. • 2. AI-Assisted Technical: A coding/system design exercise where you use AI tools to build a system. We will then deep dive into your technical mastery. We evaluate your ability to review AI output critically and handle iterative requirements. • 3. Architectural & Behaviours: How you live our Operating Principles.
