About the Role
The SDE-AI is a senior engineer who architects and delivers the company’s mission-critical internal systems using AI-augmented development. This role combines deep expertise in Claude, PHP, Symfony, and relational databases with the strategic ability to leverage AI assistance for rapid, high-quality delivery. The engineer drives architectural decisions, mentors junior developers, and ensures that AI tooling augments-never replaces-critical judgment and code quality. Ownership spans from database design to user experience, with accountability for both feature delivery and system reliability.
Architect and build full-stack systems from database schema to UI, using PHP/Symfony as the primary stack and Claude AI for rapid, high-quality iteration.
Own features end-to-end: define requirements, design schema and APIs, implement with AI assistance, review critically, test thoroughly, deploy, and support live.
Lead AI-assisted development practice: write precise specifications, guide Claude’s output generation, catch and correct mistakes, and validate every deliverable as rigorously as hand-written code.
Key Responsibilities
- Mentor and code review: guide junior developers, conduct thorough code reviews, share AI best practices, and maintain code quality standards.
- Identify and propose improvements: notice gaps in workflows, systems, or data model; propose solutions; and drive them to production.
- Troubleshoot at depth: investigate root causes, trace complex failures across layers, and resolve issues permanently.
- Maintain specifications as the source of truth: keep architecture documentation, API specs, and database schemas current as behaviour evolves.
