Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Frederick Fox is supporting a premier client seeking a Senior Software Engineer for an AI-forward product engineering team. The role involves building software for complex government workflows, using AI coding agents extensively, reviewing and validating generated code, delivering product features, and improving agent-assisted development processes.
Responsibilities
- Demonstrate a customer-focused mindset, ownership, empathy, and a willingness to go beyond the minimum required
- Coordinate multiple AI coding agents and break specifications into clear, independent tasks that can be executed safely in parallel
- Own the review and verification process for AI-generated code, assessing correctness, architectural consistency, potential impact, and production readiness
- Improve the infrastructure surrounding agent-assisted development, including reusable instructions, policies, automation, documentation, and feedback loops
- Deliver features across multiple products using modern deployment practices, including feature flags and frequent production releases
- Take a specification-first approach: clearly define requirements, expected behavior, and testing criteria before implementation
- Work directly with customers when appropriate to understand operational workflows and translate real-world problems into effective product solutions
- Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success teams to investigate and resolve technical challenges
- Consider scalability, maintainability, observability, security, and cost when making engineering decisions
Skills
- This is a remote position in the EST or Central time zones
- • 3–7 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production software
- • Hands-on experience using modern agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable platforms as part of your regular development workflow
- • Experience coordinating multiple AI agents or parallel AI-assisted development workflows
- • An understanding of common agentic-development failure modes, such as incorrect assumptions, goal drift, conflicting changes, unnecessary execution loops, and confidently incorrect output
- • Strong code-review capabilities with the ability to identify architectural and systemic problems, rather than focusing only on implementation details
- • A specification-first mindset and the ability to clearly define what successful completion looks like before development begins
- • Product-oriented thinking and a willingness to interact directly with customers
- • Experience thinking about software as a system, including data models, multi-tenancy, observability, scalability, reliability, and infrastructure costs
- • Experience in a smaller or fast-moving organization where you have owned features or systems end to end
- • Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
- • Frontend: Vue 3, TypeScript, Pinia, PrimeVue, Tailwind CSS
- • Backend: Python, FastAPI
- • Data & Infrastructure: PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Celery, Redis
- • Experience developing reusable AI-agent instructions, coding-agent skills, hooks, guardrails, or approval workflows for engineering teams
- • Playwright and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- • Feature-flag platforms and progressive delivery practices
- • Component libraries or design systems
- • Authentication and observability platforms such as Auth0, Sentry, or Datadog
- • AWS or similar cloud infrastructure
Benefits
- Remote position in the EST or Central time zones
