Distinguished Software Engineer

Architecture and Design:

• You own the architecture of Sondera's backend services, including verdict rendering, trajectory storage, and console serving.
• You decide how services are designed, how they talk to each other, scale, and fail.
• You set the Rust bar the team holds, including handling errors, concurrency, and unsafe code.

First Year Outcomes:

• Write the architecture of record for backend services with a decision record.
• Show that verdicts replay exactly from recorded trajectories and enforcement fails closed under failure injection.
• Take research into production as services with their own latency and cost budgets.

Team and Culture:

• The people who write the papers ship the product, so what breaks in production sets the next question.
• They study four open problems: turning written rules into policy, enforcing at runtime, making agent behavior inspectable, and overseeing fleets without manual review.
• They build Sondera with coding agents it governs, and a person who owns the code approves every change they make to production.
