Current Opportunities – June 7, 2026
Web Application Developer
About The Position
The Web Application Developer designs and builds resilient software for complex applications, focusing on API development, data services, and cloud-based infrastructure. The role calls for solid programming fundamentals - data structures, system design, and sound tradeoffs - applied across languages rather than tied to any one stack. The developer integrates AI capabilities into our applications and uses AI development tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, AI-enabled CLI tools) and AI DevOps practices as a regular part of the workflow to build, iterate, and ship with greater speed and quality. Responsibilities include maintaining clear documentation, experimenting with new technologies, and contributing to implementation phases to ensure code quality and efficiency. Day-to-day work spans a modern JavaScript frontend, a server-side language, and AWS infrastructure; exposure to Vue.js or React and PHP/Laravel is a plus.
What You'll Do Every Day
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.
- System Design & Development: Collaborate in designing and building resilient software for complex applications, with a strong emphasis on API development, data services, and cloud-based infrastructures. Develop and maintain components using React and Next.js, including creating and managing SSR components for performance and user experience improvements.
- API Integration and Automation: Work with APIs from generative AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Use frameworks like LangChain to integrate AI features into applications. Create automations that leverage generative AI to enhance process efficiency.
- Coding and Development: Write and manage scripts and automations using JavaScript and Python. Focus on creating and maintaining Cloud Functions for serverless solutions on platforms like Google Cloud Platform.
- Database Management: Perform basic data management using Supabase and PostgreSQL. Ensure the scalability, reliability, and security of all database systems.
- Problem-Solving: Identify and resolve technical issues, both independently and collaboratively, to ensure smooth operation of AI-integrated applications and web components.
- Documentation & Reporting: Maintain clear and precise documentation of code, workflows, and system behaviors. Keep records of processes and workflows, update existing documentation, and create new documentation as needed. Ensure all technical documentation is accessible for team members and stakeholders.
- Innovation & Improvement: Experiment with new technologies and modern DevOps practices. Contribute to streamlining deployments, improving app management, and introducing automation. Stay ahead of industry trends by exploring and integrating cutting-edge tools.
- Implementation Oversight: Lead the implementation phase by overseeing code quality, performing reviews, and ensuring adherence to best practices. Optimize the performance of applications in cloud environments, focusing on efficient use of services like AWS and SQS handling.
- Additional duties, as assigned.
This is a remote work opportunity with limited travel obligations, which requires demonstrating a level of dedication and commitment to being self-driven and accountable.
Requirements
- 3-4 years of professional development experience is preferred. Demonstrated exemplary performance may supersede the experience requirement.
- Solid foundation in programming fundamentals - data structures, algorithms, and common design patterns - with the ability to pick up new languages and frameworks as needed. Exposure to a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js or React) and a server-side language is a plus; familiarity with PHP/Laravel is welcomed.
- Hands-on experience integrating third-party APIs (including generative AI providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) into working applications, with a basic understanding of rate limits, retries, and failure modes.
- Comfort using AI-powered development tools - such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent - as a regular part of your engineering workflow.
- Familiarity with AI DevOps practices: using AI tooling across the SDLC for code review, automated testing, deployment pipelines, and application monitoring.
- Solid experience with SQL for data manipulation and analysis. Familiarity with data tools like Pandas is a plus.
- Proven ability to build, deploy, and manage applications in cloud environments, specifically AWS.
- Experience designing APIs and service contracts for data integration across systems, with fluency in at least one paradigm (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, or event-driven messaging) and an understanding of versioning, error semantics, and backward compatibility.
- Experience working with structured data and running extract, load, and transform (ETL) processes.
- Skilled at debugging and solving technical problems, including those specific to AI-integrated systems. You can tackle challenges head-on, both independently and within a team.
- Comfortable resolving technical roadblocks during development to keep projects moving.
- Effective communication with the ability to break down technical ideas and concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Our Core Principles:
Clients at the center of everything
We spend the vast majority of our time and energy creating value for clients.
Clients aren’t always right, but they’re allowed to be wrong
We work with our clients to achieve their goals.
Agreement > Expectation
We take the time to get agreement vs. setting an expectation.
Solve, not blame
We urgently focus on the root cause and how to solve it, not who’s at fault.
Negotiate upfront
We surface concerns and roadblocks before committing to move forward.
Get things done (“GSD”)
We always get things done the best we can when we say we will.
Crisply communicate the value we create
We develop the narrative, tell the story, and repeat, repeat, repeat.
Make a bigger pie
We find win-wins that increase total value vs. fight to have the largest slice.
