Job Description
Job DescriptionWhat You’ll Do
-
Own the Global API and unified platform, ensuring the infrastructure that Elite, Syrinx, and Essentials all depend on stays reliable and well-documented.
-
Lead and mentor a small team of engineers, balancing hands-on technical guidance with day-to-day people management.
-
Stay in the codebase yourself, this is not a pure-oversight role. You’re expected to ship real code, not just review pull requests.
-
Drive daily use of agentic AI development tools across the team, building reusable skills, sub-agents, and workflows rather than relying on one-off prompting.
-
Produce and maintain the technical artifacts such as, ERDs, swim-lane diagrams, and API flow documentation that keep cross-team dependencies visible to everyone who needs them.
-
Partner with engineering and product leadership across every RMS product to keep the Global API roadmap aligned with what each product line actually needs.
-
Estimate realistically, flag risk early, and deliver on commitments without requiring follow-up.
-
Manage scheduling, time off, performance conversations, and other standard people-management responsibilities for your team.
-
Recommend headcount, tooling, and process improvements to engineering leadership, and participate directly in hiring for your team.
-
Serve as the person other teams turn to when they need to understand how a change to the Global API will affect their product.
What You Bring
-
8+ years of professional software development experience, ideally including ownership of a shared API, integration layer, or platform used by multiple products or teams.
-
Daily, hands-on experience with agentic AI coding tools. You should be comfortable building custom skills, sub-agents, or workflows around these tools, and able to speak specifically to what you’ve built.
-
Strong full-stack experience: backend (Node, Python, .NET, PHP, or similar) and front-end SPA framework (Angular, Vue, React, or similar)
-
Solid experience with an RDBMS (MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, or similar), including comfort designing and revising ERDs on the spot.
- Strong, proactive communication skills. This role sits between multiple teams and requires someone engaged with collaborative
-
A track record of realistic estimation and delivering on commitments without needing to be chased.
- Preferred: CS/Math/Computer Engineering degree, or equivalent hands-on experience with algorithms, design patterns, and data structures.
