I am not a lawyer but reside in Georgia.

It's doubtful Software Engineers are covered by non-competes in Georgia. You could use one for sales people and possibly an ex-founder or executive.

GA modified their constitution in 2011 in order to make non competes broadly applicable and enforceable. Software engineers probably fall under their "company professionals" category that allows for non-competes. They also removed time limits on the non-compete; non-competes can be valid for as long as the trade secrets you were exposed to are still trade secrets (so can be forever).

How on earth did that ever pass??

GA in general bends over backwards for corporate rights at the expense of the commons. It's probably one of their biggest issues holding them back economically these days IMO as someone who grew up in GA.
