Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for a Software Engineer or Senior Software Engineer to join our Entitlements Team and help design and build the applications and services that power the Leadership Connect platform.

This is a hands-on role for someone with strong software engineering fundamentals who enjoys solving product and technical problems across backend services, APIs, data, search, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems.

Our environment includes Kotlin/Java, Spring Boot, Python, AWS, Elasticsearch, and modern cloud-native technologies. We value deep expertise in at least one area, strong fundamentals, and the adaptability to become productive across technologies.

We also believe AI is changing how software is built. We are looking for engineers who use modern AI coding tools and agents to significantly increase productivity while maintaining strong engineering judgment and ownership.

Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain production applications and services.

Develop well-designed APIs and backend services using Kotlin/Java, Python, Spring Boot, and related technologies.

Work with relational and NoSQL databases, search technologies, and large datasets.

Contribute to distributed systems and microservice architectures running in AWS.

Participate throughout the development lifecycle: planning, design, estimation, implementation, testing, deployment, and continuous improvement.

Use AI coding assistants and agents to accelerate research, planning, development, testing, debugging, refactoring, and documentation.

Critically review AI-generated implementations and remain accountable for quality, correctness, security, and maintainability.

Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to turn requirements into high-quality technical solutions.

Contribute to design discussions, code reviews, engineering standards, and development practices.

2+ years of professional software development experience for mid-level candidates or 6+ years for senior-level candidates.

Strong computer science and software engineering fundamentals through a CS-related degree or equivalent professional experience.

Experience designing and building production web applications, APIs, or backend services.

Strong understanding of HTTP, REST, API design, relational databases, SQL, data modeling, and database design.

Strong proficiency in Kotlin/Java with Spring Boot or a comparable JVM framework, OR Python and its modern application ecosystem.

Willingness and ability to work across JVM and Python technologies as needed.

Experience writing maintainable, well-tested production software.

Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills.

Experience with Git and modern collaborative development workflows.

Use AI to understand unfamiliar codebases, research technologies, plan implementations, write and modify code, develop tests, debug problems, refactor systems, and automate repetitive work.

Critically evaluate AI-generated solutions, recognize incorrect assumptions, validate implementations, and know when direct engineering investigation is the better approach.

Experience with repository-level agent instructions, reusable agent workflows, MCP integrations, custom tooling, or agentic development processes is a plus.
