Job description

AI-native software engineers represent a new generation of developers who treat AI as a first-class development tool, much like previous generations adopted IDEs, version control, or cloud computing. Here are the key skills and behaviors :

Core Technical Skills

Prompt Engineering & AI Collaboration

  • Crafting effective prompts that produce reliable, high-quality code
  • Breaking down complex problems into AI-manageable chunks
  • Iterating on AI outputs rather than accepting first results
  • Understanding when to use AI vs. when to code manually

AI Tool Proficiency

  • Mastery of coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.)
  • Understanding different models’ strengths and limitations
  • Ability to switch between tools based on the task
  • Using AI for documentation, testing, and debugging
  • Architectural Thinking

  • Designing systems that leverage AI capabilities effectively
  • Understanding AI integration patterns and APIs
  • Making informed decisions about where AI adds value
  • Balancing AI-generated code with maintainability concerns
  • Critical Behavioral Shifts

    Verification Over Generation

  • Strong code review skills to catch AI mistakes
  • Testing AI-generated code rigorously
  • Understanding the code rather than blindly trusting it
  • Developing intuition for when AI is likely wrong
  • Higher-Level Problem Solving

  • Focus shifts from syntax to architecture and design
  • More time on problem decomposition and solution design
  • Thinking in terms of components and interfaces
  • Asking “what should this do?” rather than “how do I write this?”
  • Rapid Iteration

  • Comfortable with experimentation and quick prototyping
  • Willingness to throw away and regenerate code
  • Using AI to explore multiple solution approaches quickly
  • Embracing an iterative, conversational development style
  • Continuous Context Management

  • Maintaining clear mental models of the codebase
  • Providing good context to AI tools
  • Keeping track of what AI does and doesn’t know
  • Managing conversation history effectively
  • Emerging Soft Skills

    AI Delegation & Direction

  • Treating AI as a junior pair programmer
  • Clear communication of requirements and constraints
  • Knowing when to course-correct AI’s approach
  • Ability to guide AI through complex multi-step tasks
  • Quality Judgment

  • Strong aesthetic sense for good vs. bad code
  • Understanding security, performance, and maintainability implications
  • Recognizing architectural anti-patterns
  • Knowing industry best practices to evaluate AI suggestions
  • Adaptive Learning

  • Staying current with rapidly evolving AI capabilities
  • Learning from AI explanations and suggestions
  • Unlearning old productivity patterns
  • Openness to AI changing their workflow
  • Strategic Thinking

  • Focus on product outcomes over implementation details
  • Faster shipping through AI-accelerated development
  • Understanding business value and user needs
  • Making build vs. buy decisions with AI in the equation
  • What Changes (and What Doesn’t)

    Still Critical :

  • Computer science fundamentals (algorithms, data structures)
  • System design and architecture
  • Debugging and problem-solving skills
  • Domain knowledge and business understanding
  • Communication and collaboration
  • Security awareness
  • Less Emphasized :

  • Memorizing syntax and API details
  • Boilerplate code writing
  • Looking up documentation constantly
  • Writing simple CRUD operations manually
  • Create a job alert for this search
