Position Summary
AutoRABIT is seeking an exceptional Distinguished Software Engineer (IC-7) to serve as one of the highest level technical individual contributors in our global Engineering organization.
This role is intended for an engineer with extraordinary technical depth, demonstrated industry expertise, and a proven ability to solve complex engineering challenges that impact multiple products, teams, and business objectives.
This is not a traditional architect or people management position. We are looking for a highly accomplished, AI forward, hands on engineer who combines strategic technical leadership with the ability and willingness to write production code, build sophisticated solutions, and personally drive critical engineering initiatives.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in Java, distributed systems, enterprise SaaS platforms, and modern cloud technologies. They must also bring meaningful, demonstrated experience applying artificial intelligence to software products and engineering workflows.
As a Distinguished Engineer, you will influence AutoRABIT's long term technical direction, establish engineering standards, mentor senior technical leaders, and lead the implementation of our most complex and business critical solutions.
You will work closely with Engineering, Product, Architecture, Security, and Executive Leadership to translate technical innovation into measurable business and customer outcomes.

• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and determine where they provide measurable value.

• Mentor engineering teams on AI implementation, technical limitations, evaluation methods, and effective development practices.

• Demonstrate a proven ability to move AI initiatives beyond experimentation into reliable production solutions.

Hands On Engineering & Execution

• Remain actively involved in software development, including writing, reviewing, testing, and deploying production code.

• Personally lead the design and implementation of highly complex, business critical software capabilities.

• Serve as a technical escalation point for the organization's most difficult engineering and production challenges.

• Drive engineering excellence across Java, Spring Boot, APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and cloud native platforms.

• Build reference implementations, prototypes, and foundational components that accelerate development across teams.

• Ensure technical solutions meet enterprise expectations for scalability, security, reliability, performance, and maintainability.

• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend investments that strengthen the AutoRABIT platform.

Engineering Excellence & Continuous Improvement

• Establish and promote engineering practices that improve software quality, development efficiency, and delivery predictability.

• Champion automation, CI/CD, DevSecOps, testing, and modern software development practices.

• Identify opportunities to reduce complexity, eliminate waste, and improve engineering workflows.

• Promote a culture of technical accountability, experimentation, and continuous learning.

• Use engineering metrics and measurable outcomes to evaluate the impact of technical improvements.

Cross Functional Influence & Mentorship

• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to Engineering, Product, Architecture, Security, and Executive Leadership.
