Junior Software Engineer

Job Description

About the Role
If you live and breathe agentic coding and can't imagine living another day without your Cursor or Claude code subscription: we want you on our team.

In this role, you'll build scalable backend software in Java, supporting applications used by ADT customers. You'll also play a key role in shaping how AI and automation are integrated into our products and engineering workflows.

What You'll Do

• Partner with Product, UX, and fellow Software Engineers to turn ideas into scalable, production-ready code
• Design and develop internal (and potentially customer-facing) agents to automate processes as model capabilities evolve
• Integrate multi-modal models into product pipeline to help better take care of our users, from analyzing video streams to generating automated, ML-driven reports
• Design systems with scalability, performance, and storage in mind
• Work with QA to build repeatable, automated validation of user-facing features
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across environments
• Ensure stability and performance of production systems with minimal user impact
• Estimate effort for new projects (in tokens)
• Follow best practices across coding standards and the full software development lifecycle

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Strong experience with Java backend development
• Experience building React web and/or mobile applications
• Comfortable working in AI-assisted development environments (e.g., Cursor, Claude, MCPs, feedback loops)
• Ability to write clean, readable code independently (without AI assistance)
• Solid understanding of system architecture and design
• Experience with web services (REST and/or WebSockets)
• Experience with data storage systems:
  • SQL
  • Key-value stores
  • Document databases
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS and/or GCP)
• Proficiency with Git version control

How You Work

• Comfortable collaborating within a team (human and AI-assisted environments)
• Proactive, self-driven, and able to take ownership of work
• Strong problem-solving skills with ability to navigate complex challenges
• Curious and continuously learning new technologies
• Able to manage multiple priorities effectively
• Seek guidance from others when needed

Key Traits for Success

• Customer-focused mindset
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Bias for action and results
• High integrity and professionalism
• Collaborative and effective in team environments
• Adaptable and comfortable with change
• Ongoing commitment to learning and technical growth
