Summary:AI Software Engineer is the new baseline at Age of Learning - engineers who do not just use AI tools occasionally, but design their workflows around them, orchestrate agents to plan and execute work, and treat AI coding agents as a first-class collaborator. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the ABCmouse product team within Digital Consumer Products. You will help us build high-performance web and mobile applications that reach millions of learners, while helping us craft how AI engineering takes shape on our team.
AI Expectations:- Daily use: You use AI coding agents (for real, substantive tasks - analysis, coding, refactoring, testing, navigating codebases, and documentation. Not just research or autocomplete.
- Velocity: We expect engineers who use AI well to operate with meaningful leverage - doing more at the same time and improving productivity for themselves and their team.
- Team leadership: As an AI champion, you share what works, whether that be skills, plugins or MCP's, providing guidance and setting standards on usage for your team and the company as a whole.
- Continuous learning: The tooling is changing fast. You stay current and bring recommendations to the team when something would meaningfully improve how we work.
Responsibilities:- Apply agentic workflows across the SDLC - refactoring, test generation, debugging, documentation, codebase navigation - and help evolve the team's AI engineering practices in the process
- Own features end-to-end through production - monitor what you ship and use data to validate your assumptions
- Drive technical decisions and architectural direction for your area of ownership; the code you ship sets the standard for the team
- Leave the codebase cleaner than you found it - refactoring is not a separate backlog item, it is part of how you ship
- Partner with Product, Design, and stakeholders to align on scope, priorities, technical tradeoffs, and delivery timelines
- Identify, design, and develop features and functionality within applications for deployment to web, iOS, and Android
Minimum Qualifications:- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally consumer-facing and content-driven web or mobile applications
- 2+ years of hands-on experience prompting, evaluating, and building with LLMs and AI coding assistants
- Deep experience with agentic workflows, prompt engineering, and context window management
- Track record of using AI tooling to multiply your own output - not just as autocomplete, but as a genuine development partner
- Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end through production, including post-release monitoring and learning from data
- Shipped production cross-platform mobile applications to both the iOS App Store and Google Play
- Familiar with software design paradigms and design patterns
- Solid understanding of the full software development life cycle
- Experienced with performance tuning and optimization techniques for both front-end and backend systems.
