Senior Software Engineer
Role Overview
Direct the agents.
Own the result.
As a senior software engineer at TrueRoll, you will work closely with our product and engineering teams to build the tools county
assessor offices use every day to run fairer, more efficient property tax systems.
Most of our code is written by agents.
Your job is to
direct that work and own the result: run agents against our codebase, break problems into tasks an agent can finish, review and
verify what comes back, and build the loops that make the next round better than the last.
Your work will have a direct impact on the
communities we serve.
We are genuinely AI-forward, not aspirationally.
Cursor and Claude Code write against our codebase every day.
Every pull request is
reviewed by an agent pass before a human looks at it, and a dedicated approval agent enforces per-folder rules about what can
auto-merge and what needs a person.
We generate end-to-end tests and ship documentation in the same change as the code,
and answer product questions with a clickable prototype before we build the feature.
Our skills and agent instructions live in version control and get sharper every week, because a human correction becomes a
permanent rule.
On a small team your decisions reach real users immediately, and you shape the architecture rather than inherit it.
Across everything, you live our core values: customer focused, treat others with respect and empathy, own it, and go the extra mile.

What This Person Owns
Eight areas of responsibility defining the scope of the role
Agent Orchestration
Runs agents in parallel and in the background against our codebase,
and coordinates them: decomposes a spec into bounded,
independent tasks, isolates them, and keeps them from colliding.
Review & Verification
When code generation is cheap, this is the job: reviews agent output
for correctness, patterns, and blast radius, and decides what is safe to
auto-approve.
Agent Infrastructure
Builds and maintains skills, approval policies, hooks, capture and
documentation automations, and the correction loops that make the
system improve on its own.
Shipping at Scale
Ships features across our products behind feature flags, deploying
multiple times a week, with an eye on scale across many counties on
shared infrastructure.
Spec-First Planning
Plans before building: writes the spec, puts tests first, and lets agents
execute against it.
Writes down what “done” means.
Mentorship
Mentors and coaches teammates on technical best practices, agentic
workflows, and architectural patterns.
Client Exposure
Gets in front of clients when it helps.
Looks at how a county actually
works, finds the real problem, and translates it into what the system
should do.
Customer Success Partnership
Proactively collaborates with Customer Success to resolve technical
issues before they become client problems.
What A Strong Candidate Looks Like
✓ Uses an agentic coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) every
day — and can say specifically what they delegate and what they refuse
to hand it.
✓ Has coordinated more than one agent at a time and knows the failure
modes — goal drift, file collision, runaway loops — and how to guard
against them.
✓ A strong reviewer.
Catches the architectural problem, not just the typo,
and pushes back on output that is confident and wrong.
✓ Spec-first instinct.
Writes down what “done” means before building.
✓ Product-minded and comfortable getting in front of clients. ✓ Thinks in systems, loops, and scale: data model, multi-tenancy,
observability, and cost across many counties — not one-off fixes.
✓ 8+ years shipping real software, including time at a small company
owning things end to end.
✓ Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
★ Bonus: Our stack (Vue 3, TypeScript, Pinia, PrimeVue, Tailwind; Python,
FastAPI, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Celery, Redis); agent files, skills, hooks, or
approval policies written for a whole team.
★ Bonus: Playwright, MCP, feature-flag systems, design systems, Auth0,
Sentry, Datadog, AWS — or govtech, proptech, fintech, or another
regulated domain.
