hirify.global provides enterprises of all sizes with solutions to stop cybercrime.

What you will do

• Architect the "Agent-Ready" infrastructure, building the sandboxed environments and headless interfaces that allow AI agents to execute safely without human hand-holding.
• Embed with product teams to identify friction in the "Plan → Code → Test" loop, shipping 0-to-1 internal tools that ruthlessly automate bottlenecks.
• Replace manual human validation with deterministic proof by building validation frameworks that allow agents to verify their own work.
• Act as a technical scout for the organization, critically evaluating emerging agentic frameworks to inform our build-vs-buy strategy.

Requirements

• Typically 4+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Deep familiarity with modern AI coding workflows (Cursor, Claude Code) and the ability to engineer around model limitations.
• Focused on solving user problems and shipping solutions that get adopted, not just building infrastructure in a vacuum.
• Uncompromising focus on velocity x excellence; instinctively write scripts to automate tasks, but ensure they are robust enough for production use.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and ship complex features with minimal oversight.

Nice to have

• Production-grade systems expertise spanning Backend services (Python/Go), Cloud Infrastructure, and Data Systems.
• Experience with or interest in AI evangelism—sharing knowledge through documentation, workshops, or technical sessions.
• Experience building internal developer platforms, CLIs, or CI/CD systems at scale.
• History of contributing to open source developer tools or AI frameworks.
