About this role
The Senior Software Engineer is a full-stack individual contributor responsible for designing and building production-ready services and platform features for Claude Integration and Gen AI Platform Improvements. This role requires strong engineering depth, hands-on Python and front-end development, practical AWS knowledge, and the ability to design solutions from problem statements rather than only implementing pre-defined specifications.
A Typical Day in the Life Includes:
- Design and build production services and RESTful/async APIs in Python using FastAPI (or a comparable framework), plus corresponding front-end capabilities using Angular or a comparable JavaScript framework.
- Build and integrate platform features using AWS services including Bedrock, SageMaker, Lambda, and EKS.
- Integrate with the Anthropic Claude API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) as required by platform initiatives.
- Contribute to AI Governance capabilities across explainability, observability, and prevention based on initiative priorities.
- Own feature and component design within the assigned area, including approach, trade-offs, and technical recommendations.
- Mentor engineers, review code, review designs, and help raise overall engineering quality.
- Participate in effort estimation and challenge scope, assumptions, or estimates where warranted.
Basic Qualifications:
- Strong, demonstrated engineering experience shipping production software, with engineering depth as the primary gate ahead of GenAI-specific background.
- Hands-on experience using an AI coding tool in daily development work, such as Claude Code, AWS Kiro, OpenAI Codex, or a comparable AI-assisted coding tool.
- Proficiency in Python and full-stack development, including FastAPI (or a comparable Python web framework such as Flask/Django) for API development, Angular or a comparable JavaScript framework, and PostgreSQL or a comparable relational database.
- Working knowledge of AWS services, including Bedrock, SageMaker, Lambda, and EKS.
- Demonstrable exposure to LangChain, LangGraph, or a comparable agentic framework.
- Comfort designing a solution from a problem statement, not only implementing a fully specified design.
- Baseline AI literacy, including understanding how AI works, recognizing useful AI scenarios, directing AI effectively, evaluating AI outputs, and using AI responsibly.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Direct experience with the Anthropic Claude API and Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Prior work on systems with explainability, observability, or guardrail requirements.
- Ability to balance speed, engineering quality, production readiness, and evolving GenAI platform needs.
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform or CloudFormation) for deploying services to EKS/Lambda.
