AI-Native Software Engineer

Expertise in building secure, large-scale systems using fault-tolerant technologies (such as Elasticsearch, CockroachDB, Oracle, MongoDB & Kafka); experience with building and deploying with cloud-native technologies. Demonstrated fluency in leveraging AI technologies across the entire software development lifecycle, including breaking down user stories into actionable tasks, AI-assisted coding and testing, automated defect resolution, and deployment of fully tested software.

Role: AI-Native Software Engineer
Location: San Jose, CA or Raleigh, NC100% Onsite
Duration: 6 months
 
Salary Range: $50.00 - $52.00/Hour on W2 (Without Benefits).
Applicants must be willing to work on W2
 
Responsibilities:

• Customers are looking for a full-stack, AI-native software engineer to build capabilities that will help secure the products of today and the AI-built, agent-operated systems of tomorrow.
• You've made the shift from being an experienced, effective software engineer to being an AI-native one.
• You have proven experience serving as a software engineer for web application projects, hosted On-Premise and Cloud, supporting a large customer base.
• You treat performance as a design constraint, not a tuning pass after the fact.
• You know when to build and when to buy — you can justify choosing a custom-built solution over an off-the-shelf or cloud-native service.
• You think in systems and evaluate designs critically — whether reviewing AI-generated code or your own architecture — catching the subtle bug, security gap, or design choice that won't hold up under load or misuse.
• You use spec-driven development with AI as your default way of engineering software.
• You pick up new tools and approaches quickly, since the effective way to work with AI changes often, and you'd rather adapt early than fall behind.
• You are decisive without being divisive — you can analytically weigh trade-offs, balance competing priorities, and drive decisions that span organizational boundaries.
• You have excellent communication and organization skills.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or demonstrated equivalent experience.

• Server-side software development experience with Python, Java, NodeJS, and/or other similar technologies; client-side web application development experience using React, Backbone, native JavaScript, and/or other comparable technologies.
• Expertise in building secure, large-scale systems using fault-tolerant technologies (such as Elasticsearch, CockroachDB, Oracle, MongoDB & Kafka); experience with building and deploying with cloud-native technologies.
• CISSP/CCSP or similar certification useful.
