Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. ConsumerAffairs is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build reliable, consistent, and self-improving systems for AI-assisted software development. The role involves working across Django/Python, React, and shared component architectures while owning features end-to-end and designing verification systems, reusable skills, and persistent project context.
Responsibilities
- You maintain living context files (CLAUDE.md or equivalent) encoding your project standards and learned preferences — and update them every time you correct AI output
- You design verification systems — hooks, CI gates, acceptance criteria — so you don't need to review every AI output line by line. You build the system that verifies; you don't become the system
- You treat every repeated manual correction as a signal that your system needs improvement. Bug fixes become rules. Patterns become reusable skills. Preferences become persistent context
- You can run multiple agents on concurrent workstreams and coordinate their output without losing coherence
- You catch what agents miss — logic errors that pass tests, subtle architectural drift, hallucinated APIs — and you improve the system rather than just patching the output
- You allocate real time to system improvement, not just feature delivery. You understand the compound effect
Skills
- * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- * 5+ years of professional software development experience
- * Proficiency in one or more back-end programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Ruby) and one or more front-end programing languages (JavaScript — both vanilla ES6+ and React)
- * Experience with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, or other API architectures
- * Strong knowledge of database systems (e.g., SQL, NoSQL) and query optimization techniques
- * Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
- * Understanding of software development principles, including object-oriented programming, design patterns, and testing
- * Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git)
- * Experience with CSS — responsive layouts, design system tokens, component-scoped styles
- * Actively uses AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, Claude, etc.) as part of daily workflow — not occasionally, but as a default
- * Can evaluate AI-generated output critically, catch hallucinations, and integrate suggestions with judgment
- * Has used AI tools to accelerate code review, documentation, test generation, or debugging
- * Comfortable prompting LLMs for architecture exploration, refactoring, and boilerplate reduction
- * Strong understanding of software development fundamentals, including algorithms and data structures
- * Uses AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalent — as a default, not occasionally
- * Has built and maintained living AI context files (CLAUDE.md or equivalent) for a real project
- * Has designed automated verification workflows (hooks, test gates, CI checks) to reduce reliance on manual AI output review
- * Can demonstrate a compound system: one where AI behavior improved over time due to deliberate system investment
- * Has moved beyond using AI as a reviewer-assisted assistant (writing code, then checking every output manually) into building systems that verify themselves — where rules, hooks, and context files do the quality work so you do not have to
- * Understands how agents can game tests, and has concrete strategies to detect or prevent it
