We’re hiring an Engineer who knows that “good enough" is not good enough. At Dutchie, our customers count on us to tackle the hardest challenges in a fast-changing industry, and we take that responsibility seriously - building quality and shipping fast aren't a tradeoff here, it’s the standard.
As a Senior Engineer, you are a technical leader who brings depth and breadth to our agentic-first development team. You don’t just use AI to write code; you leverage it to research unfamiliar territory, architect complex systems, and . We are looking for a "T-shaped" engineer—someone with some deep expertise but can work in several technologies who can solve all but the most exceptional problems with little assistance.
What You'll Do…- Customer-Centric Innovation: Partner closely with Product and Design teams to translate customer pain points into delightful, high-performance product experiences.
- Architect and Lead: Drive the end-to-end lifecycle of medium-to-large scale projects with minimal requirements, from initial design and architecture to deployment and iteration.
- Strategic Problem Solving: Proactively identify technical debt, surface technical roadmap items, and design high-quality, scalable solutions for our core platforms.
- Mentor and Enable: Act as a multiplier for the team by coaching junior engineers through PR reviews, design discussions, and sharing best practices for agentic workflows.
- Agentic Mastery: Lead by example in using LLMs and agentic tools to amplify judgment and speed while maintaining a high quality bar for the entire team.
- Operational Excellence: Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident responses, using advanced tools for logging, monitoring, and debugging to ensure system reliability.
Engineering Depth
- Professional Experience: 5+ years of software development experience, with a proven track record of owning and delivering complex features independently.
- Backend Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in at least one modern backend ecosystem, specifically Ruby or .NET/C#.
- Systems Architecture: Deep understanding of how to build high-quality, performant, and scalable distributed systems.
- Data Modeling: Extensive experience designing and evolving complex data models across relational (SQL Server) and non-relational stores.
Leadership & Mindset
- Autonomous Execution: A solid, capable engineer who can drive problems to completion with little oversight and knows the right questions to ask.
- AI-Native Operations: Advanced experience treating LLMs and agentic tools as core parts of your planning and implementation toolkit.
- Culture Carrier: A desire to refine our engineering culture and processes, ensuring we consistently deliver stable, resilient systems.
- Have experience in the cannabis industry or have built enterprise-facing software for POS, Ecommerce, or Payments.
- Have experience with frontend technologies like React and TypeScript to support full-stack initiatives.
- Have built and monitored infrastructure on cloud-native providers like AWS.
- Have successfully introduced AI-assisted workflows or autonomous agents to an engineering organization previously.
We are targeting a starting salary of $149,000 - $201,000 based on the intended level for this role.
In addition to cash compensation, our total rewards package includes:
- Full medical benefits including dental and vision plans to ensure you always have the best care.
- Equity packages in the form of stock options to all employees.
- Technology (hardware, software, reading materials, etc..) allowance
- Flexible vacation and sick days
