Job Description

Staff Engineer directing Neumo's AI-assisted modernization of government revenue and debt-recovery software. Owning architecture, partner delivery, acceptance, and knowledge transfer for public-sector systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the target architecture and modernization build strategy for a legacy .NET revenue and debt-recovery platform
  • Define specifications, architecture, sequencing, and acceptance criteria for an external delivery partner
  • Direct the partner's agentic build process, including scope, order of work, acceptance, merge gates, and escalation
  • Review generated code for maintainability and manage specification drift, blueprint coherence, regeneration, and test limitations
  • Establish equivalence evidence for money-related functionality and rule on divergences
  • Decide which legacy components are reused, rebuilt, or deliberately left unchanged
  • Run the delivery relationship, including cadence, gates, commercial and technical discussions, and quality standards
  • Ensure Neumo can build, deploy, operate, and modify the delivered system independently of the partner
  • Build internal engineers' capability in the new system and own enduring documentation and operational runbooks
  • Translate build status, risks, assumptions, and decisions for executives
  • Represent Neumo's technical position with partners, customers, and procurement
  • Deliver a system ready for pilot within 90–120 days, with statutory and financial behavior evidenced, accessibility gates passed, and knowledge transferred

Requirements:

  • 12+ years building and operating production software, including significant time at staff or principal level
  • Real depth in agentic or AI-assisted software delivery at production scale; shipped systems this way
  • Demonstrated ownership of architecture for large, multi-team systems
  • Experience directing external delivery partners, consultancies, or systems integrators
  • Experience with scope definition, acceptance criteria, and delivery oversight
  • Track record of incremental legacy modernization, including strangler patterns, coexistence, live data migration, and cutovers with no tolerance for loss
  • Deep relational database experience
  • Comfort with .NET and a modern web stack
  • Exceptional written communication
  • Judgement to distinguish acceptable divergences from blockers, particularly in financial calculation
  • Comfort operating with authority over an external team and without authority over colleagues
  • Proven effectiveness in a remote, distributed organization

Benefits:

  • Competitive benefits and compensation package
  • Fully remote work arrangement
