POSITION OVERVIEW
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
  • Experience deploying with Azure Pipelines or other CI/CD tools is a plus
  • Current Microsoft certification preferred
