Senior AI Native Engineer

We get AI into how your teams build software, hands-on, across the whole development lifecycle.

The role

re:cinq is a hands-on engineering consultancy. We don't reimagine your journey, we build the system with you and we leave you owning it. A Senior AI Native Engineer is the person who makes that happen in the code: building it with coding agents, holding the quality bar, and showing a client's engineers how to work the new way day to day. You spend most of your time in the codebase, orchestrating agents in parallel and shipping to production, supporting a Lead who owns the client relationship and the direction of the engagement.

What you'll do

Build at the top of the ladder. Orchestrate multiple coding agents in parallel, work spec-driven, wire up MCP, and stand up software-factory patterns where they pay off.

Ship to production. Take a validated use case from prototype to a system that runs in production, and keep it shippable the whole way.

Hold the engineering bar. Test coverage, CI/CD, observability, and the validation harness that agent output is judged against. AI amplifies the system it lands in, so the system has to be sound.

Work spec-driven. Turn a story into a tight spec the agents can execute against, review what comes back, and own the quality of what merges.

Help client engineers adopt the new way. Pair with their developers, share the patterns that work, and make AI native workflows stick on the team you're embedded in.

Push back on hype. Say no to the demo that won't survive production, and explain why in language a CTO and a junior dev both follow.

Who you are

Hands-on, spec-driven, and deep in the agents.

01
Deep agentic coding

You run agents in parallel, spec-driven workflows, MCP, running or building a software factory.

02
Production engineering

You ship real software. You own test coverage, CI/CD, and observability, and you know what it takes to make agent output safe to merge.

03
Spec-driven delivery

You turn a story into a spec the agents can execute, review what comes back, and decide what's good enough to ship.

The bar
5+ years shipping software to production.
Daily, fluent use of agentic coding tools on real codebases.
You work spec-driven and own the quality of what you merge.
Fluent across at least two stacks, comfortable in unfamiliar ones.
Comfortable pairing with client engineers and sharing how you work.
You hold the line on tests, CI/CD, and observability.
Bonus points
Built internal CLIs or MCP serversConsulting / client delivery backgroundOpen source contributions or public technical writingExperience pairing or mentoring other engineers
How we work
Engineering, not advice

You write the code that goes to production. No slideware handovers.

You own what we build

The client keeps the keys, and so do you. We build for the handover from day one.

Time to go deep

Budget and space to stay at the frontier of AI tooling, because it moves every month.

Work that compounds

Every engagement makes the next factory better. The advantage is built, not bought.
