Senior Software Engineer / Software Engineering Lead

About Aivar Innovations

• Convogent — Conversational & Voice AI
• Velogent — Agentic Workflow Automation
• Kubogent — Kubernetes-Native AI Infrastructure

The Role

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end delivery using spec-driven agentic workflows — Requirements → Design → Tasks → Implementation → Deployment
• Build and contribute to Convogent, Velogent, and Kubogent accelerator platforms
• Lead agile delivery including sprint planning, backlog grooming, and stakeholder reporting on client-facing engagements
• Manage distributed delivery teams within fixed-price, milestone-gated engagements (Lead level)
• Design and implement Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases and RAG retrieval pipelines for enterprise customers
• Build MCP connectors integrating requirements, GitLab, and enterprise tools into the AI-native pipeline
• Implement verification & validation hooks and automated traceability gates in regulated software pipelines
• Ingest compliance and regulatory documents — DHF, traceability matrices, V&V protocols — into knowledge bases and RAG systems
• Build developer hooks — lint, type-check, security scanning — wired into CI/CD pipelines
• Mentor and guide engineers on AI-native engineering practices (Lead level)

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in software development across the full SDLC
• 1+ year of end-to-end AI SDLC experience — shipped in production, not just explored
• Experience delivering on client-facing consulting engagements in regulated industries (fintech, healthcare, life sciences, or manufacturing) preferred

• Amazon Kiro, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini

• Proficient in Python, TypeScript, Java, or Go
• Hands-on with AWS
