Senior Software Engineer, Trilogy (Remote) - $100,000/year USD

The industry still operates software delivery at a sluggish pace. Backlogs pile up, cycle times stretch into weeks, and code review often becomes a formality to close out a sprint. Most engineering teams struggle with integration hazards, fragile system designs, and ambiguous requirements. At the same time, AI coding agents demonstrate the ability to produce viable code—but only when given rigorous specifications and careful oversight. The standard response remains throwing more engineers at the problem rather than redesigning the system that transforms intention into dependable, production-ready software.

Trilogy has chosen a different approach. We operate an end-to-end agentic development process: engineers lead research, specification, architecture, and quality control, while AI agents execute implementation. Specifications are constructed to be directly executable by Claude Code, designed test-first and precisely scoped to contain risk. This approach enables continuous delivery of production features with significantly shorter feedback cycles, reduced integration surprises, and stronger assurance of correctness before any code reaches main.

This position suits the engineer who prefers designing systems and validating correctness over churning through tickets. You will allocate approximately 10–20% of your time to research and technical exploration—understanding current system behavior, constraints, and stakeholder objectives; 40–50% translating that knowledge into precise, test-driven, agent-executable specifications and architectural choices; and 40–50% directing and supervising implementation. You own accountability for what goes to production: no hidden failures, no vague specifications, no deflecting responsibility to the agent.

You will become part of a team that regards specification as a deliverable, review as an engineering practice, and delivery as the singular metric that matters. If you find motivation in elegant system architecture, precise scoping, and rigorous validation—and you already incorporate tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT into your regular workflow—this environment will suit you. Bring your architectural expertise, your test-driven development instincts, and your exacting standards for code quality. If this resonates with you, step forward and shape the future of software construction. Apply and demonstrate how you direct agents to produce production-grade results at scale.

What You Will Be Doing

• Technical Discovery: Examining existing systems, stakeholder objectives, and data sources to map the problem domain and identify technical limitations
• Technical Specification: Transforming research insights and stakeholder needs into exact, executable technical specifications tailored for agentic coding assistants (primarily Claude Code) following spec-driven development principles
• AI Implementation: Directing AI coding agents through implementation, performing ongoing review and validation of agent-generated code, and merging verified changes into the production codebase
  
  

Senior Software Engineer Key Responsibilities

• Continuous delivery of production-quality software features and systems through agentic development workflows, in which AI coding agents perform implementation while engineers control specification, architecture, and quality assurance
  
  

Basic Requirements

• Minimum of 3 years professional software engineering experience in production environments
• Experience participating in pull request review processes
• Experience using AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor) in a professional setting
