About the role

We are hiring a Senior Product Engineer to own a subsystem of Flowline, our platform for migrating legacy ETL estates to dbt, Fivetran and cloud data warehouses.

Mission: Own a Flowline subsystem from spec to production, keep its quality high as agents write more of the code, and help associates grow into the same role.

• Reports to: CPO

• Anticipated start date: Jan 2027 onward

• Location: Sofia (Bulgaria), hybrid

• Interview process

• Intro call (with TABP): 45-min

• Take-home exercise: up to 4 hours to complete

• Technical interview (with Product team): 90-min

• Cultural chat (with Executive member): 45-min

What You’ll Do

• Owns a subsystem of Flowline end to end, for example a source-vendor extractor, the BI conversion path, or the IDE extension. Accountable for its correctness on client estates.

• Writes the specs for their subsystem and for cross-cutting features, with acceptance criteria. The Founding Architect reviews changes to the conversion contract and the architecture.

• Runs several agents in parallel and asynchronously on their subsystem. Writes and maintains the skills, rules and eval cases those agents depend on.

• Reviews agent-authored and associate PRs in their area. Rejects code that drifts from spec or that the author cannot explain.

• Supports Infinite Lambda delivery teams on live migrations. Triages conversion defects raised at UAT, fixes the root cause in the converter, and updates the runbook.

• Mentors associate engineers on spec writing, code review and modernisation patterns, and takes part in hiring.

Expectations and KPIs

• Subsystem correctness: conversion defects in their subsystem found at client UAT per 1,000 converted objects, falling quarter on quarter.

• Change failure rate across the subsystem, including agent and associate changes they approved.

• Review escape rate: defects that reach UAT through PRs they reviewed.

• Spec stability: % of their specs implemented without amendment once the build starts.

• Delivery support: time from a delivery team raising a conversion defect to a fix being merged.

• Associate progress: associates they mentor meet the 12-month growth gate.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of software engineering, including end-to-end ownership of a production component. We assess level on demonstrated scope, so treat years as a guide.

• Agentic tooling: Daily, fluent use of Claude Code, Cursor or equivalent, including running agents asynchronously and writing the rules, skills and tests that keep their output correct.

• Engineering: Strong Python and comfortable across the stack. Able to design a component, choose a testing strategy and diagnose performance problems.

• Data and ETL: Working knowledge of at least one legacy ETL tool (Informatica PowerCenter, SSIS, Talend or IICS) and of dbt on a cloud warehouse. Able to reason about slowly changing dimensions, incremental loads, grain and null handling.

• Spec-driven development: Has written specs that other engineers or agents implemented against.

• Communication: Clear written English. Comfortable working directly with delivery teams and client engineers.

• Education: A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field is preferred, or equivalent practical experience.

The following soft skills are highly appreciated:

• You are a self-starter and set your own priorities within the team's plan.

• You are comfortable working in a distributed team.

• You enjoy helping less experienced engineers improve their work.
