[Remote] Senior Software Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Akkio is an AI infrastructure company that empowers media workflows with enterprise-scale AI solutions. The Senior Software Engineer will own complex technical projects, collaborate with various teams, and drive innovative solutions while building systems for customer-facing AI agents in production.

Responsibilities

• Own complex technical projects end-to-end, from ambiguous problem statement through architecture, build, deployment, and iteration in production
• Multiply your output with agentic coding and help raise the bar for how the whole team builds with agents
• Design systems that scale with our partner base while improving reliability, performance, and cost efficiency
• Implement security and compliance measures that protect sensitive partner data
• Set engineering standards for code quality and testing in an agent-assisted codebase, and mentor teammates on both
• Work directly with engineers, data scientists, and customer teams, and communicate clearly with stakeholders as requirements evolve

Skills

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of solving hard technical problems
• You've deeply integrated AI coding into your daily workflow; agents are your default way of building, not an occasional assist and you can speak concretely about how you direct them, where they fail, and how you verify their output
• You thrive on ownership: you've repeatedly taken loosely defined or shifting requirements and delivered great products anyway, filling gaps with judgment rather than waiting for direction
• Experience building and debugging large-scale production systems
• Strong background with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, and/or Azure) and modern DevOps practices
• Strong bias to execution coupled with high engineering standards and attention to detail
• Public artifacts of your agentic workflow: CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md context files in your repos, published MCP servers, agent co-authored commit history, or writing about how you build with agents
• Hands-on experience building with large language models: evals, tool use, agent orchestration, or LLM-powered product features
• Depth in a second specialty from the list above
• Understanding of security best practices for handling sensitive data
• Previous early-stage startup experience

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Generous PTO policy
• Substantial equity grants
