Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SplitStep is a young software company seeking a Software Engineer to build production client applications using AI coding agents. The role involves hands-on full-stack development, including interfaces, application logic, APIs, databases, code review, documentation, and client requirements discussions, with daily use of tools such as Claude Code and Cursor.
Responsibilities
- Build features across the stack — interfaces, application logic, APIs, and database work — with code review and guidance from the founder
- Apply AI coding agents to production code as part of the daily development workflow
- Review AI-generated output for correctness, security, and maintainability before it reaches production. Learn to tell the difference between code that looks right and code that is right
- Work in Git and GitHub — branches, pull requests, code review — as normal daily practice
- Write clear documentation that keeps projects understandable as they grow
- Participate in client requirements discussions and translate business needs into working software
- Communicate clearly about what you are working on, what is blocking you, and when you need help. Asking early is a strength here, not a weakness
Skills
- Prior experience with these tools is expected
- Candidates should arrive comfortable working with Claude Code or Cursor and able to discuss how they get reliable results from them
- A solid programming foundation, fluency with AI coding agents, and a portfolio of completed projects are the primary criteria
- Hands-on experience with Claude Code and/or Cursor. This is a required qualification
- A project built with these tools that you can present and discuss, including your development process and the issues you identified and resolved
- A working foundation in at least one of C#, Python, or JavaScript. Depth in one matters more than surface familiarity with several
- Basic SQL and an understanding of relational databases
- Familiarity with Git and version control fundamentals
- Evidence that you build things: a CS or related degree, a coding bootcamp, professional experience, or demonstrable self-taught project work
- Responsiveness to code review feedback and clear communication when requirements are unclear
- Candidates anywhere in the United States will be considered
- Must be authorized to work in the United States
- Houston, Texas area preferred; other Texas locations secondary
- Internship, freelance, or professional software development experience
- Exposure to web APIs, front-end frameworks, or cloud platforms
- Experience across multiple AI coding tools
- Exposure to AI agents, tool-calling workflows, or MCP servers
- Interest in industrial, manufacturing, aviation, supply chain, inventory management, or procurement software
Benefits
- Daily code review and technical guidance from the founder.
- Work on production client software across the full stack, starting in your first weeks.
- AI coding agents used on real client work, not restricted to side projects.
- Expanding scope and responsibility as the firm grows.
- SplitStep funds an AI tooling and learning budget: subscriptions to Claude Code, Cursor, and comparable platforms, model API credits, and an annual allowance for conferences and training.
- Full-time, primarily remote.
