This is a high-ownership role on a lean team. The default mode of execution is AI-first. Engineers use AI agents and tools such as Cursor, Claude, and similar platforms to accelerate research, planning, implementation, testing, and refinement, but ownership stays fully with the engineer. The person in this role must be able to use AI to move fast while maintaining strong judgment around architecture, correctness, performance, usability, maintainability, and overall product quality.
