Role Overview

The Senior Software Engineer will lead the development of product experiences that power the member platform at Collective. Operating in a product engineering capacity with high end-to-end ownership, the professional in this role will collaborate closely with Design, Product, and Operations teams to iterate quickly based on real user feedback. The position emphasizes outcome-driven engineering, utilizing modern AI tools and agent-based workflows to accelerate development, enhance code quality, and deliver valuable product features.

Utilize AI-powered development tools, including code generators, copilots, and agent workflows, to accelerate delivery and reduce manual overhead.
Integrate relevant AI capabilities directly into the product to meaningfully enhance the member experience.
Ship continuously, measure performance through instrumentation, and use member feedback to drive subsequent iterations.
Make sound system design choices balancing speed, maintainability, and scalability while managing engineering tradeoffs.
Enhance developer workflows by implementing automation, internal tooling, and AI-assisted processes.
Evaluate emerging tools, frameworks, and methodologies, recommending what works and deprecating outdated approaches.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of professional experience building and delivering production software in a product-focused setting.
Strong fullstack engineering capabilities utilizing modern frameworks such as Python, Django, or React.
A proven track record of owning features or systems end-to-end with measurable user impact.
Practical experience leveraging AI developer tools like copilot and code agents for accelerated delivery.
