at Tevora
Irvine, CA

We strongly believe that if we put smart, driven people in a room together, they will accomplish great things.

What's the role?
Tevora is seeking a Developer to join our internal product engineering team on a temporary-to-hire basis. You'll work directly under the leadership of our senior developer, contributing to Atlas — Tevora's AI-enabled compliance engagement platform — and other internal tooling that powers how we deliver for clients.
You'll start in a temporary engagement, with a clear path to full-time conversion based on performance and fit.
Atlas is a modern TypeScript / Next.js application: it manages compliance engagements across frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, with role-based workflows for both internal Tevora teams and external clients, document automation, and LLM- assisted features throughout.
This is a hands-on role for a developer who is fluent in modern AI-assisted development workflows and excited to build alongside an experienced engineer on a real, production product.
A day in the life could include:
- Build, test, and ship features across the Atlas stack — Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Prisma/PostgreSQL, Tailwind + shadcn/ui — under the guidance of our senior developer
- Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor) as a core part of your daily workflow
- Work with Claude Opus and Fable models to accelerate development, debugging, and prototyping
- Integrate and iterate on LLM-powered features and internal automations
- Translate compliance and product requirements into clean, maintainable, well-typed code
- Participate in code reviews, learn our stack and conventions (RBAC, activity logging, unified service layers), and grow your craft quickly
- Help document and improve internal development practices
Necessary skills and qualifications:
- 2–3 years of software development experience, or equivalent demonstrated project work
- Hands-on experience with Claude Code and Cursor in a real development context
- Working knowledge of TypeScript and a modern React framework (Next.js strongly preferred)
- Experience building automations, agent skills, and workflow tooling
- Comfort with relational data and an ORM (we use Prisma + PostgreSQL)
- Practical familiarity working with Claude Opus and Sonnet models (prompting, iterating, integrating outputs)
- Self-starter mentality — someone who likes to tinker and learn on their own
- Ability to take direction, ask good questions, and incorporate feedback
- Strong written and verbal communication
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience / Military equivalent)
- Recent graduates with strong, demonstrable AI-assisted development work are encouraged to apply
Bonus Points:
- Exposure to compliance, security, or SaaS product environments
- Experience integrating LLM APIs into applications (e.g. Anthropic, Google GenAI)
- Familiarity with our broader toolset: AWS (S3, Lambda, SES, SQS), Tailwind CSS / Radix / shadcn/ui, TanStack Query, Zod, Vitest/Playwright
- Experience with authentication and enterprise SSO (SAML, Okta, JWT)
- Comfort with Git and conventional commit / CI workflows
We've got you covered!
- Comprehensive benefits offering
- Paid time off and holidays
- 401k with Company match
- Vibrant work culture
- Growth Opportunity
