We believe the future of software development is AI-native — where engineers operate at a higher level of abstraction and quality remains non-negotiable. 

Incubyte is a software craft consultancy where the “how” of building software matters as much as the “what”.  

We partner with companies of all sizes, from helping enterprises build, scale, and modernize to early-stage founders bring their ideas to life. 

Our engineers operate in an AI-native development model, using AI as a collaborator across the SDLC to accelerate development while upholding the discipline of software craftsmanship. Guided by Software Craftsmanship and Extreme Programming practices, we build reliable, maintainable, and scalable systems with speed, without compromising quality. If this way of building software resonates with you, we’d like to talk. 

Our Guiding Principles 

These principles define how we work at Incubyte. They are non-negotiable. 

Relentless Pursuit of Quality with Pragmatism 

  We build high-quality systems without losing sight of delivery. 

Extreme Ownership 

  We take responsibility end-to-end for decisions, execution, and outcomes. 

Proactive Collaboration 

  We collaborate closely, challenge each other, and solve problems together. 

Active Pursuit of Mastery 

  We continuously improve our craft and raise our bar. 

Invite, Give, and Act on Feedback 

We seek, give, and act on feedback to get better every day. 

Ensuring Client Success 

We act as trusted partners and focus on real outcomes, not just output. 

Experience Level

This role is ideal for engineers with total 3+ years of experience with a proven track record of shipping complex projects successfully.

An experienced individual contributor and leader who thrives in large, complex projects with widespread impact.

What You’ll Do as a Software Craftsperson 

• Design and build high-quality, maintainable systems using disciplined engineering practices such as TDD, continuous refactoring, and pair programming 
• Operate in an AI-native development model, using AI as a collaborator to explore architecture and design, accelerate development, and continuously improve systems while applying strong judgment to ensure that speed never compromises quality 
• Take end-to-end ownership of outcomes from problem understanding and system design to implementation, deployment, and operation in production 
• Make thoughtful design decisions that balance simplicity, scalability, and long-term maintainability in real-world systems 
• Maintain a high bar for engineering quality through rigorous testing, code reviews, and continuous feedback 
• Investigate and resolve production issues, and implement systemic improvements to prevent recurrence 
• Work directly with clients, navigate ambiguity, and translate business problems into well-designed technical solutions 
• Contribute to improving team practices, tooling, and systems to raise the overall quality and effectiveness of engineering 

Requirements

What You’ll Bring 

• 3+ years of experience building high-quality, production systems (flexible based on demonstrated capability) 
• Strong fundamentals in software engineering, including object-oriented design, system design, and testing practices such as TDD 
• Demonstrated ability to build simple, maintainable, and scalable systems with a focus on long-term reliability 
• Proficiency in one or more modern technologies, Python, PHP, JavaScript, or TypeScript, with the ability to learn new technologies quickly 
• Deep experience working with Git in collaborative environments, including managing shared codebases, conducting code reviews, and maintaining a high bar for quality 
• Ability to operate effectively in an AI-native workflow using AI as a collaborator to explore solutions and accelerate development, while applying strong judgment to ensure correctness, quality, and maintainability 
• Clear thinking and strong problem-solving ability, with the capacity to break down complex problems into simple, well-structured solutions 
• A strong sense of ownership — you take responsibility for outcomes, care deeply about quality, and are not comfortable shipping work that does not meet your standards.
