Senior Software Engineer, Trilogy (Remote) - $100,000 / year USD Base pay range $50.00 / hr - $50.00 / hr

Software delivery remains trapped in outdated cycles. Backlogs expand endlessly, delivery timelines span weeks, and code review often devolves into formality to meet sprint deadlines. Most engineering organizations grapple with integration hazards, fragile system designs, and ambiguous specifications. AI coding agents now generate viable code, yet only when provided with rigorous specifications and oversight. The industry continues adding headcount rather than addressing the fundamental process of converting intent into dependable, production-ready software.

Trilogy operates differently. We execute an end-to-end agentic development model : engineers own research, specification, architecture, and validation, while AI agents execute implementation. Specifications are crafted for execution by Claude Code, structured with test-first principles and tightly scoped to contain failure domains. This produces continuous deployment of production capabilities with significantly compressed feedback cycles, reduced integration uncertainty, and elevated confidence in correctness before code reaches the main branch.

This position is designed for engineers who prefer system design and correctness verification over task execution. Your time allocation will be approximately 10–20% devoted to research and technical exploration to map existing behavior, constraints, and stakeholder requirements; 40–50% translating that knowledge into precise, test-driven, agent‑executable specifications and architectural choices; and 40–50% directing and overseeing implementation execution. You own accountability for shipped outcomes : no undetected failures, no vague specifications, no deflection of responsibility.

You’ll become part of a team that treats specification as a deliverable product, review as an engineering competency, and delivery as the sole performance metric. If you’re motivated by refined system architecture, precise scoping, and rigorous validation—and you currently integrate tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT into your workflow—this environment will suit you. Bring your architectural expertise, your test‑driven development discipline, and your exacting standards for code quality. If this describes your approach, come shape the next generation of software construction. Apply and demonstrate how you coordinate agents to deliver production‑quality results at scale.

What You Will Be Doing

Technical Discovery : Examining existing systems, stakeholder needs, and data sources to map the problem domain and technical boundaries

Technical Specification : Transforming research outcomes and stakeholder requirements into precise, executable technical specifications tailored for agentic coding assistants (primarily Claude Code) following spec‑driven development practices

AI Implementation : Directing AI coding agents through implementation, continuously reviewing and validating agent‑generated code, and merging verified changes into production codebases

Senior Software Engineer Key Responsibilities

Continuous delivery of production‑quality software features and systems through agentic development workflows, with AI coding agents executing implementation while engineers maintain ownership of specification, architecture, and quality assurance

Basic Requirements

Minimum 3 years of professional software engineering experience in production settings

Demonstrated experience with pull request review workflows

Professional experience using AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor)
