[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Ahead

Role Description

AHEAD is on the hunt for an exceptional Senior Software Engineer to help build Hatch, our flagship platform. We’re a leading IT services provider, trusted by some of the world’s largest companies to design, build, run, and modernize their most important technology across cloud, data, AI, and security.

Hatch is an advanced platform for IT lifecycle management, renewal, procurement, and logistics, giving enterprises real-time visibility and control over their IT assets, orders, contracts, and inventory across thousands of sites.

You’ll join a progressive engineering team that lives on the forefront of technology. You will learn here, and you’ll have the autonomy to make a visible impact fast.

What will you be doing?

• Own features and problems end to end, from understanding the user’s need through design, delivery, and support.
• Design and build full-stack solutions for internal and public web applications, making pragmatic architectural decisions along the way.
• Work at high leverage with AI tools and agents, then review, test, and harden everything you ship.
• Engage across the full development life cycle: analysis, implementation, integration, testing, debugging, and support.
• Lead code reviews and raise the bar on quality, mentoring other engineers as you go.
• Work directly with end users and stakeholders to understand the business problem behind each request.
• Help set estimates and milestones, balance technical risk against cost and deadlines, and keep work on track.
• Help drive the future roadmap of the engineering team and AHEAD.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building and shipping software (7+ preferred), with a track record of owning significant work end to end.
• Strong engineering judgment. You know what “good” looks like and can tell solid solutions from shaky ones, including code an AI wrote.
• A product mindset: you start from the user and the outcome, and you sweat the details that make software useful.
• Fluency with modern AI development tools and coding agents, paired with the discipline to verify, test, and own everything you ship.
• Stack-agnostic adaptability, so you pick up new languages and frameworks quickly.
• A strong foundation in software design, architecture, and the practices that keep systems reliable, including testing, continuous integration, code review, and containerization.
• Clear, direct communication, so you can express intent precisely to both teammates and the tools you work with.
• The instincts of a senior engineer: you lead projects, mentor others, and raise the level of the people around you.
• A drive to keep learning and to help shape how the team builds.

Requirements

• Experience with Elixir and Phoenix is welcome but not required.
• Ability to engage in architecture, product decisions, edge cases, security, and correctness.
• Experience in leading code reviews and mentoring other engineers.

Benefits

• Competitive salary, benefits, and an environment where work-life balance is more than just a catchphrase.
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance.
• 401(k).
• Paid company holidays.
• Paid time off.
• Paid parental and caregiver leave.
• Plus more! See benefits here .
