AHEAD - Software Engineer
Requirements
• Some foundation in software development, whether through a CS degree, a bootcamp, internships, personal projects, or equivalent self-taught experience. • Developing engineering judgment. You’re learning what “good” looks like and how to tell solid solutions from shaky ones, including code an AI wrote. • The beginnings of a product mindset: you care about the user and the outcome, not just closing the ticket. • Interest in using modern AI development tools well, paired with the instinct to verify and test what you ship. • Comfortable writing code in at least one modern language, and eager to learn Elixir, Phoenix, and whatever else a problem calls for. (No prior Elixir experience required.) • A growing foundation in software design and good practices, including testing, version control, and code review. • Clear, direct communication and a willingness to ask good questions. • Curiosity and drive. You love to learn, and you see your work through to the end. • Activity on GitHub, a portfolio, or projects you can show us is a big plus.
Responsibilities
• Contribute to features across our platforms, and grow toward owning them end to end, with support from experienced engineers. • Build full-stack functionality for internal and public web applications, learning to make sound design decisions along the way. • Use AI tools and agents to work and learn faster, then review, test, and harden what you ship. • Take part in the full development life cycle: implementation, testing, debugging, and support. • Take part in code reviews, giving and receiving feedback, as one of the fastest ways to grow. • Work directly with teammates and end users to understand the business problem behind each request. • Write reliable, well-tested code and fix issues promptly. • Pick up new languages, tools, and concepts as you go. Curiosity is the job.
