AI Senior Software Engineer

Compensation: No equity

About the Role

• We need a full-stack engineer who ships. You will take enterprise engagements from architecture to production: the data model, the APIs, the front end, the cloud deployment, and the tests that prove it works. The client sees your work every week.
• Claude Code is the primary way software gets written here. We want someone who has already built an enterprise-grade application with it, knows where it is strong, knows when to overrule it, and has the fundamentals to catch it when it is wrong.

What You'll Do

• Design and build production applications in Python and TypeScript on AWS and GCP
• Run Claude Code across the full lifecycle: planning, implementation, tests, review, and documentation
• Work directly with client engineering and product leads to turn requirements into shipped software
• Stand up CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and the security controls an enterprise expects
• Modernize legacy systems in place when a rewrite is the wrong call
• Write the acceptance tests that define when a deliverable is done

Requirements

• 7+ years building and operating production software
• Daily, hands-on use of Claude Code, and at least one enterprise-grade application built with it that you can walk us through
• Strong fundamentals: data modeling, API design, testing, performance, and security. AI tooling amplifies these. It does not replace them.
• Python and TypeScript, with production experience on AWS, GCP, or both
• Comfortable talking with a client's engineers and executives directly
• Amazon Bedrock or Vertex AI in production use
• Terraform or CDK, and ownership of a CI/CD pipeline end to end
• Legacy modernization: strangler-fig migrations, database moves, monolith decomposition
• Security-conscious background: OWASP, threat modeling, compliance-heavy environments
• Authorized to work in the United States. We do not sponsor visas now or in the future.

Engagement Terms

• Contract. Hourly or fixed fee per deliverable, set per engagement. We contract with individuals and with companies.
• $120 to $175 per hour, depending on experience and engagement structure
• Remote within the US. We are not currently engaging contractors who live in California, Massachusetts, or New Jersey.
• Start immediately. Initial engagement with the option to extend.
• Tooling, model usage, and the cloud environment are provided and paid for by us
• Offer contingent on a background check, at our expense
