What they're looking for
- You've owned meaningful production software end to end, including what happens when it breaks
- You have strong software engineering depth and are comfortable owning the infrastructure and production environment underneath what you build
- You've influenced engineering decisions outside your immediate team through design review, mentoring and the standards you set, and other engineers trust the patterns you establish
- You use AI coding agents as a serious part of how you build software, and understand where they fail. You've designed the context, tests, permissions and review boundaries that make agent-produced changes safe to ship
- You make architecture and product trade-offs under ambiguity, including deciding what not to build
- Typically 8+ years of building and operating software

AI has dramatically expanded who can build software inside Aiven. People across Finance, People, GTM and Marketing now turn operational problems into working applications much faster than before, and Product Development is starting to build too. Our engineering foundations need to catch up with that new way of working.
You'll own the engineering system for Aiven's internal applications: one foundation that makes building at this scale safe, maintainable and efficient, so applications are easy to maintain, merge and split as the business changes.
You'll prove it on real products. You'll directly own our hiring platform and the gateway that gives applications controlled access to our business systems, and use them to find what the shared layer gets wrong before everyone else depends on it. Then...
