Essential Job Duties
BambooHR is on a mission to set people free to do great work. Our software powers the HR work that small and mid-sized businesses depend on every day. We're looking for software engineers who use AI to build production-quality software. As a Senior Agentic Software Engineer, you lead complex features that span multiple workstreams, and you shape the technical direction other engineers execute from. You influence what gets built across your product area, working with product, design, and support to shape both what should be built and how to build it.
AI tools and capabilities change rapidly. To stay resilient through change, you prioritize curiosity and continual learning, and you actively apply new best practices. You are accountable for outcomes that reach beyond your own features: the technical direction you set, the engineers you mentor, and the full lifecycle of the work from specification through production.
What You'll Do
Your work runs through four loops, each building on the last: specifying intent, delegating execution to agents, verifying and integrating their output, and codifying best practices and processes to compound value.
Shape ambiguous product opportunities into technical direction that other engineers build from.
Write agent specifications complete enough for a teammate to execute confidently, setting the quality bar for the constraints, acceptance criteria, risks, and tradeoffs they define.
Apply agentic judgment at the workstream level, setting the example for the team on when to delegate to agents and where human judgment is needed.
Steer multiple agents through implementation across concurrent workstreams, multiplying what you deliver while keeping engineering judgment and ownership.
Set the verification bar for a feature or workstream, matching review depth to risk and blast radius and validating with tests, observability, and production-readiness checks.
Own the full feature lifecycle, from specification through production monitoring, including the correctness, security, maintainability, and customer impact of the work.
Decide which prompts, agent instructions, repo conventions, test harnesses, and playbooks are worth building to speed up the engineers around you.
Influence product decisions across your product area, bringing engineering judgment into what gets built.
Co-create specifications and technical direction with product, design, and support, converging on alignment across your product area.
Mentor engineers on agentic craft, raising how the team specifies, delegates, and verifies.
What You Need to Get the Job Done
You will need depth in these areas to lead workstreams, shape technical direction, and raise the engineers around you.
5+ years of software engineering experience, with a record of building and shipping customer-facing software in production, including ownership through production monitoring.
Track record of using AI coding agents to deliver features across parallel workstreams.
Proficiency in designing systems, data models, and architecture that other engineers build on, including performance and data-flow tradeoffs.
Demonstrated ability to write agent specifications a teammate can execute confidently, and technical documentation readable by both people and agents.
Depth in context engineering: structuring repo and task context so agents execute reliably across a team.
Proven ability to design agent workflows for parallel execution, with human checkpoints throughout.
Confidence reading unfamiliar code and running root-cause analysis to debug it.
Demonstrated ability to perform threat-modeling and identify security vulnerabilities: injection, data-handling, and unsafe generated output.
Fluency setting test design and evaluation standards that others follow.
Sound judgment managing version control at parallel-workstream scale: branching, reviewing, and integrating concurrent changes safely.
Track record of setting safe-release and reliability standards: CI/CD, feature flags, staged rollout, and rollback.
Experience operating and maintaining software in production with observability, metrics, traces, and incident response.
Proven ability to mentor engineers and influence technical decisions beyond your own features.
Strong written and verbal communication, including synthesizing technical direction and tradeoffs for technical and non-technical audiences.
