About the roleWe run an internal operations platform that a mid-sized manufacturer depends on daily — production scheduling, warehouse transfers, inventory counts, PO tracking, packout, and shipping. About fifty people use it, including floor staff on scan guns. It connects to an ERP and a Postgres database, and it changes almost daily.
Most of the code is written by AI coding agents. That part works. The bottleneck is the human loop around them: intake, triage, scoping, prompt-writing, reviewing what the agent produced, verifying it works, and keeping the documents agents read from current.
That loop is this job. You're not the developer. You're the person who turns "this button's broken" into a scoped, verified, shipped fix — agents do the building, your judgment makes sure it's right.
And you don't do it alone. You'll use AI to manage the AI — to draft prompts, explain a diff you can't read, summarize what changed, check an agent's work against what was actually asked for, and write up documentation. Knowing how to put a model to work on your own behalf is the core skill here.
What you'll doIntake and triage. Turn vague bug reports from across the business into tickets with a repro path and a sample record. Reproduce before diagnosing. Sort ruthlessly: wrong number for a user today, or backlog?
Ship fixes end to end. Write the agent prompt with an explicit scope contract — what's in, what's out, when to stop and ask. Check the result against that contract, then drive it through PR, deploy and live verification.
Translate. For every change: what it does, what it means for users, what needs deciding, what breaks if it's wrong. Use AI to help you write it — that's expected, not cheating.
Support larger builds. Break direction into phases that ship and reverse independently. Mock up interfaces before UI work starts. Prepare database migrations as step-by-step handoffs for someone else to run.
Operate the agent fleet. Keep agent environments clean and their context
