Software System Designer

What You Will Be Doing

We're looking for a motivated, recent-graduate software engineer to join our team. You'll work closely with a small group to prototype new ideas, turn concepts into working proofs, and find opportunities to apply AI within a software engineering organization — all in service of higher software quality and a better user experience.

A passion for building quality software is paramount, paired with a strong sense of user experience. You should also bring solid problem-solving skills and a working understanding of PC architecture, operating system concepts, and AI tooling.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-stack prototyping — design and build full-stack solutions (front end to back end) that turn early ideas into working proofs of concept


• AI agent development — build and extend AI agents, including context engineering, custom skill development, and tool integration via MCP (Model Context Protocol)


• Tooling and process improvement — enhance internal tools and processes to raise overall product quality and engineering efficiency


• Technology exploration — collaborate with the team to evaluate new technologies and approaches, and help decide what's worth adopting


• Impact projects — contribute to projects that measurably improve efficiency and drive innovation across the organization

Who We Are Looking For

• Recent graduate (or graduating within the next academic term) with a Bachelor's degree, preferably in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field


• Solid programming/scripting fundamentals: proficiency in Python is required; experience with JavaScript frameworks (ReactJS, Node.js) and SQL is a strong plus


• Comfortable working with Git and standard version-control workflows


• Working knowledge of PC architecture and operating system concepts (processes, memory, I/O)


• Exposure to agentic AI workflows or AI developer tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, or similar) is a plus


• Hands-on experience building or troubleshooting PCs, and/or software QA experience, is a plus


• Strong written and verbal English communication skills, with the reading comprehension to work from technical specs and documentation
