We’re  looking for engineers who think differently about how software gets built.   Our  Product Development  team is growing, and we’re hiring  a   Software Engineer  who  actively  use s  modern AI tooling and agents as part of their real development This isn’t a “prompt engineering” role — it’s a hands-on engineering role for someone who understands how cloud systems work and uses AI tools to ship faster without compromising quality.   NOTE: This is a hybrid role  located  in South Austin (near Dripping Springs). Sponsorship is not available for this position.    ABOUT THE ROLE   Design and implement scalable services in a cloud environment Contribute to architecture decisions with guidance from senior engineers Build and maintain  APIs and service integrations Use AI agents to assist  with coding, testing, refactoring, and debugging Review and validate  AI-generated code for correctness and maintainability Improve performance, reliability, and observability of existing systems Collaborate cross-functionally to translate business needs into technical solutions Continuously evaluate and improve your AI-assisted development workflow   ABOUT YOU   3–6 years of experience shipping production software Experience building or contributing to cloud-based applications (AWS, Azure, GCP, or similar) Understanding of service-based or microservices architectures Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs Familiarity with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) Experience with Docker (or similar), CI/CD pipelines, and Git Strong debugging and problem-solving skills   We are not  optimizing for  a specific programming language. We care more about your system understanding and engineering judgment.   AI Expectations   You  don’t need you to have built your own agent framework — but you should:   Actively use AI coding assistants in your day-to-day development Be able to explain how you validate  AI-generated outputs Have experimented with running multiple agents or workflows in parallel Understand when not  to rely on AI Be thoughtful about code quality, security, and edge cases   We’re  interested in how you think about leverage, not just how fast you type.   Bonus Points   Experience working on high-availability SaaS platforms Familiarity with messaging systems (Kafka or similar) Experience with infrastructure-as-code Exposure to observability tools (monitoring, tracing, alerting) Experience integrating AI services or APIs into applications   ADDITIONAL APPLICATION REQUIREMENT (Required)   Along with your resume, please  submit  a ~3-minute screen recording showing how you incorporate AI agents into your development workflow. You may  email it to   [email protected] .   We’re  not evaluating production polish —  we’re  evaluating how you think and how you use AI as a tool.   ABOUT US   With more than 25 years of serving education, Lightspeed Systems delivers the most in-depth visibility and control to power exceptional schools where students are safe and engaged; technology is compliant and easily managed; and resources are secure and optimized.
