The Opportunity
Chronus is the market leader in enterprise mentoring and connection software, trusted by Fortune 500 companies worldwide.
We are an AI-native engineering organization — coding agents, automated review, and machine-assisted design are core to how we ship, not a side experiment. You will join a small, seasoned team of engineers with deep technical backgrounds, a high bar, and the autonomy to move fast. The role is built to grow — toward either people leadership or technical leadership, as your strengths and interests take shape.
What You Will Own
- Take features and services from framing to release across multiple areas of the product.
- Deliver with AI in the loop — use coding agents daily to ship faster while holding production quality.
- Work in an agile way — iterate quickly, adapt as priorities shift, and stay effective under pressure.
- Propose more than one solution or library, and choose by weighing the trade-offs.
- Shape the design — schemas, interfaces, and abstractions that hold up as the system grows.
- Design and code for the non-functional aspects — performance, scalability, security, accessibility, and readability.
- Review pull requests and mentor one or two engineers, lifting the team as you go.
- Monitor the services and tools you own, and build automations that improve their efficiency.
What We Are Looking For
- Ability to drive ambiguous problems to completion with limited guidance, and communicating clearly across functions.
- A product thinker — you understand the customer problem behind the work and build solutions you’re proud of.
- Fluent with AI coding agents — you steer them to the intended result, not just correct it afterward.
- Full-stack: exposure to backend services and a modern JavaScript front end.
- A plus: Ruby on Rails and React (or a comparable server-side framework and modern SPA front end), multi-tenant SaaS, and experience with MySQL or other relational databases.
