Opportunity!

We are looking for a Principal Full Stack Engineer to help accelerate feature delivery across complex enterprise applications while introducing and scaling production-ready agentic software engineering practices.

You'll work directly within a client's engineering team, combining hands-on development using Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, and React with advanced Claude Code workflows. You'll contribute to production features, optimize existing repositories for AI-assisted development, and mentor engineers on effectively incorporating agentic coding into their daily work.

This is a highly hands-on engineering and consulting role for someone who combines deep full-stack expertise with a passion for AI-driven software development and technical enablement. Rather than simply recommending new practices, you'll demonstrate their value through collaborative coding, real feature delivery, and practical knowledge sharing.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience building and delivering complex enterprise applications.
• Strong hands-on expertise in Java and Spring Boot, including backend services, APIs, and enterprise application development.
• Advanced proficiency with TypeScript and React, including modern frontend architecture and build tooling such as Vite.
• 2+ years of experience with agentic coding workflows, tool-augmented LLM programming, and AI-assisted development in production environments.
• Advanced hands-on experience with Claude Code, including agent configuration, repository memory files, architectural context, sub-agents, custom skills, and development guardrails.
• Experience integrating agentic development workflows into existing enterprise codebases to accelerate feature delivery, testing, and refactoring.
• Strong understanding of repository architecture, code organization, automated testing, and technical documentation to support reliable AI-assisted development.
• Experience defining structured development workflows, including task decomposition, context management, automated verification, and code review.
• Ability to design and implement deterministic guardrails that maintain code quality, architectural consistency, and reliable AI-generated outputs.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring and upskilling software engineers, particularly through hands-on pairing and collaborative development.
• Ability to work directly with client engineering teams, adapting technical explanations and coaching approaches to different levels of AI-assisted development experience.
• Strong experience working within Agile, cross-functional product teams, contributing to production features from requirements through deployment.
• Ability to independently navigate complex enterprise applications, understand unfamiliar codebases, and identify opportunities for engineering improvements.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and consulting skills, with the ability to translate advanced technical concepts into practical engineering practices.

Bonus points:

• Experience with legacy COBOL systems or enterprise modernization initiatives involving legacy technologies.
• Experience building custom Claude Code skills, sub-agents, repository-level instructions, and reusable agentic development workflows.
• Experience designing AI-assisted engineering enablement programs or introducing agentic development practices across engineering teams.
• Familiarity with prompt harnesses, context orchestration, automated testing loops, and agent-driven software development patterns.
• Experience improving software delivery efficiency through AI-assisted code generation, refactoring, debugging, and automated verification.
• Experience working in consulting or customer-facing technical leadership roles.
• Experience documenting reusable engineering patterns, architectural decisions, and technical enablement practices.
• Experience measuring improvements in engineering productivity, development cycle time, and software quality.

You'll Love:

• Building production-ready applications using Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, and React.
• Working directly with engineering teams to introduce and scale agentic software development practices.
• Using Claude Code to accelerate feature delivery, navigate complex codebases, and improve engineering workflows.
• Mentoring developers through hands-on pairing, collaborative coding, and real production work.
• Designing repository structures, context-management strategies, and guardrails that make AI-assisted development more reliable.
• Solving complex enterprise engineering challenges while exploring emerging AI development paradigms.
• Having the autonomy to shape technical approaches, tooling configurations, and engineering practices.
• Seeing measurable improvements in both software delivery and engineering team capabilities.

By joining our team, you'll be part of a winning squad that plays to each other's strengths and celebrates every success together.
