Job Description
We are seeking an AI-First Software Engineer to join the team building FormAssembly. You will work within a dynamic team of Node.js software engineers to design, develop, and ship product features, collaborating closely with the engineering team to ensure that data flows, APIs, and front-end experiences benefit from robust, well-documented integration points. This is an AI-native engineering role. FormAssembly integrates AI capabilities at the product level. You will be authoring specifications before implementation and using AI-assisted engineering tools such as Claude Code to drive development from those specs. Candidates should be able to demonstrate this working style with real examples from their own work. You will develop robust backend services and data pipelines on PostgreSQL, ensure data governance, compliance, and security best practices when handling sensitive data, and collaborate with DevOps teams to ensure services are containerized and deployed efficiently on AWS services such as ECS or Kubernetes. The ideal candidate demonstrates a proactive, collaborative mindset — comfortable interfacing with Product, UX, and executive stakeholders — and thrives in a fast-paced, iterative environment where feedback loops are short and new ideas are welcomed.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, MIS, or a related technical field.
- 4–5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a strong focus on AWS.
- Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript with strong experience building backend services on Node.js.
- Strong experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimization.
- Demonstrated, hands-on use of AI-assisted engineering with Claude Code (or comparable agentic coding tools), including but not limited to; Skill invocation and creation, MCP creation and integration, and RAG. Combined with spec-driven development — candidates should be prepared to walk through real examples of specs they authored and how they drove AI-assisted implementation from them.
- Serve as a quality gate for human- and AI-generated code alike, turning review into a teaching loop that raises standards for both contributors and prompting practices rather than just blocking bad merges.
- Knowledge of software development methodologies, version control systems (e.g., Git), CI/CD, and cloud computing platforms such as AWS.
- Ability to analyze complex problems, break them into smaller, deliverable chunks, identify potential solutions, and design effective approaches.
- Clear communication skills to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven track record of successful contributions in Agile environments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working remotely across different countries and time zones
- Experience working with large-scale enterprise clients and delivering secure, high-availability solutions.
- Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or agentic workflows.
- Experience with vector search in PostgreSQL (e.g., pgvector).
- Exposure to production LLM integration (e.g., calling LLM APIs, prompt design, or working on AI-powered product features).
- Experience working directly with a Product Manager through Agile Ceremonies and Planning Sessions
- Ability to receive and implement constructive feedback from peers and leadership.
