Senior Software Engineer (AI-First/Agentic Development)

As a Senior Software Engineer (AI-First/Agentic Development), you will be part of a fast-moving, high-performing team building modern, cloud-native applications with an AI-first mindset. You will leverage AI-assisted development, agentic workflows, and automation to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and expand what small teams can accomplish. This role is not just about writing code — it's about orchestrating systems of humans and AI. You will use tools like Claude Code, Anti-gravity, GitHub Copilot, autonomous coding agents, and intelligent pipelines to design, build, test, and operate software more efficiently than traditional approaches. You should have a strong desire to experiment with emerging technologies, embrace rapid iteration, and continuously evolve how software is built.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, cloud-native applications using modern architecture
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, code generation, automated refactoring)
• Build and integrate agentic workflows (multi-step AI-driven processes) into engineering and product features
• Collaborate with product and design to rapidly prototype and iterate using AI acceleration
• Own features end-to-end, from concept to production, including observability and performance
• Support development on modern web and mobile apps, as well as work on legacy.NET applications.
• Continuously improve development velocity through automation, tooling, and intelligent systems
• Contribute to system design for distributed, event-driven, and microservices architectures
• Participate in incident response, using automation and AI to diagnose and resolve issues faster

In your first 30 days, you will:

• Contribute towards the planning, tasking, and execution at all levels of the agile experience
• Leading discussions on issues and solutions for requirements generated by external customers and internal departments
• Get four features ready for delivery following the defined development process, and deploy the features to production
• Be able to demonstrate new development in stand-ups to the organization's product ownership
• Dive into critical escalations and be a contributing participant in operations
• Deliver value to FRONTSTEPS engineering and make friends while you're at it
• Other duties as assigned by management

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor's Degree in IT or related field, or 3-5 years equivalent development work experience in lieu of a degree
• Minimum of 1 year working with AI to generate code and tests, with agentic development skills preferred
• Minimum 5 years' experience in C#, SQL Server, Entity Framework, MVC, object-oriented programming, and Web API's
• Minimum 3 years of experience architecting cloud-scale software solutions
• Minimum 1 year of experience creating applications using Docker containers
• Minimum 1 year with TypeScript and JavaScript
• Minimum 2 years with React/Angular/Vue or React Native
• Experience designing distributed software deployments using Azure
• Demonstrated experience with high-traffic Azure environments
• Demonstrated experience in computing architecture and I/O subsystems
• Working knowledge of data center scale software infrastructure surrounding data analytics
• Ability and interest in learning new technologies and methods that will take you out of your comfort zone
• Ability to multitask in a startup environment
• Minimum of 1 year Azure experience working with multiple types of deployments, VM, Functions, LogicApps, ServiceBus
• Experience in working with TCP/IP programming and networking
• Previously integrated with third-party providers via API's
