The Role

We're looking for a software architect with AI coding expertise. This is a full-time, hybrid position based in the Washington, DC-metro area.

The candidate must have rock-solid fundamentals, preferably through a CS education, and enough experience shipping software and developer tools to know how to find the right level of abstraction for a given problem. You will have access to the latest AI and agentic coding tools, but you also need to know how to do the work at a high level without them.

Much of our code is written with AI coding agents. You'll design the architecture, interfaces, and type contracts those agents work within, then review, test, and integrate their output into a coherent, secure, maintainable platform.

Bedrock Knowledge, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any classification protected by federal, state, or local law.

• believes in the power of the Age of Lifelong Learning
• has the right to work in the United States
• lives in the Washington, DC metro area or is willing to relocate to the Washington, DC metro area

Duties And Responsibilities

• Define module boundaries, interfaces, and strongly typed contracts that keep agent-generated code consistent
• Review and integrate agent-produced code, catching design drift, duplication, and subtle bugs before they reach production
• Maintain the specs, context files, and conventions that guide coding agents
• Build test coverage and CI/CD checks that act as guardrails for AI-generated changes
• Review agent output for security issues, such as unsafe input handling, authorization gaps, and leaked secrets
• Work collaboratively as part of a small team
• Own the job and ship world class educational software
• Work with AI and agentic coding tools, such as Cursor, Claude Code, Devin, Codex, etc

• Participate in weekly sprint meetings, including demonstrating work-in-progress to the Product team and participating in backlog grooming and prioritization
