Senior Software Engineer (AI-Assisted Development)

About the role

Mahaana is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build and deliver software using a modern, AI-assisted development workflow. You will work from clear, well-defined specifications and use AI coding tools and agents such as Claude Code and Cursor to design, implement, test and release features. This is a hands-on senior role requiring strong technical judgment, ownership and a commitment to engineering quality; you will also help set engineering standards for AI tools and mentor other engineers.

Key responsibilities

• Translate approved requirements into precise technical plans, identifying affected repositories, services, data models and fields, and documenting the approach.
• Design, develop and review features using AI coding assistants, accelerating implementation, unit testing and refactoring.
• Critically review AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance and maintainability before merging.
• Own the quality of delivered software, including unit and integration tests, and work with QA to confirm requirements are met.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, and help diagnose issues using staging logs and monitoring.
• Collaborate with the Technical Business Analyst, designers and Product Owners to clarify requirements and spot gaps or risks early.
• Help define team practices such as prompt and context conventions, repository guidance for AI agents, code review expectations and safe-use guidelines.
• Mentor other engineers on effective use of AI development tools.

Required profile

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven record of shipping and maintaining production systems.
• Strong skills in at least one backend language and framework, particularly Python or .NET, with solid fundamentals in APIs, databases and system design.
• Experience reading, reviewing and improving other people's code, including large or unfamiliar codebases.
• Good judgment on architecture and technical trade-offs, able to explain technical decisions clearly in writing.
• Curiosity and willingness to develop expertise in AI-assisted development; years of experience with these tools is not required.

Required skills

• Working knowledge of automated testing, Git workflows and CI/CD.
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot.
• Sound security awareness, including responsible handling of sensitive data.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Preferred: familiarity with containers, orchestration and observability tools, React Native, multi-repository work, regulated environments, MCP or similar AI agent integrations, and design-to-code workflows such as Figma.

What we offer

• Competitive salary with annual performance-based increments.
• Sponsorship or reimbursement for technical certifications and professional development, plus support for training, workshops and conferences.
• Health and life insurance, EOBI registration and contributions.
• Paid annual, casual and sick leave, flexible work-from-home arrangements, and opportunities to own key technical projects.
