Job summary

ComPsych is modernizing its technology stack with AI-led development. We seek a Software Engineer to shape system design, decompose tasks, and guide AI-generated code and tests.

This high-leverage role emphasizes architecture, technical direction, and production ownership over line-by-line coding. You will work with AI tools to generate code, tests, and first-pass reviews, then apply judgment to refine outputs before shipping.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of full stack software development experience.
• Experience building production services in Java, Python, C#, Kotlin, or Go.
• Experience shipping APIs and data models including REST contracts, validation, authentication, and migrations.
• Experience deploying and operating in the cloud (AWS or Azure) with containers and CI/CD.
• Ability to write real tests (unit and integration) and reason about what they prove.
• Secure coding practices with proper authorization checks, input validation, secrets handling, and least privilege.
• Ability to design systems, anticipate failure points, and reason about tradeoffs.
• Experience applying AI (agentic) techniques in development and evaluating outputs before shipping.

Responsibilities

• Plan and design within your scope, translating requirements into a clear plan and specs an AI agent can execute.
• Direct implementation by breaking work into tasks, writing specs, and enabling AI agents to build while you debug when needed.
• Own testing as a design decision; direct AI to build tests and verify coverage.
• Review outputs with rigor and accountability for what ships, regardless of author.
• Own your feature in production; deploy through CI/CD, collaborate with DevOps, and respond or roll back when issues arise.

Job Summary

We're modernizing how ComPsych builds technology — new customer-facing web and mobile experiences, a unified design system, and AI-powered capabilities across our products. That means raising the engineering bar for how we design, build, and operate software, with Engineering, Product, and Design working together end to end. We're looking for a Software Engineer who has hands-on experience with modern, AI-led development practices and wants to help shape how our engineering organization builds software going forward. This is a high-leverage role: you'll spend more time on system design, task decomposition, and technical direction than on writing code line-by-line. You'll use AI tools to generate code, automated tests, and first-pass reviews, then apply your own judgment to validate and refine that output before it ships.

Primary Responsibilities

• Plan and design within your scope. You translate requirements into a clear plan and specs an AI agent can execute against, working with Product and Design to clarify what's ambiguous rather than waiting for someone to resolve it.
• Direct implementation rather than writing it line by line. Break the work into tasks, write the specs, and let AI agents build — and go hands-on in the code when debugging, unfamiliar territory, or a tricky edge case calls for it.
• Own testing as a design decision. Decide what needs coverage, direct AI to build the tests, and validate that they actually prove what they claim.
• Review everything with the same rigor, regardless of author . You catch the assumptions AI won't flag on its own, and you're accountable for what ships.
• Own your feature in production. You deploy through your team's CI/CD pipeline, partner with DevOps rather than treat deployment as someone else's job, and you're the one who responds — and rolls back — when something breaks.

Job Qualifications

• You write production services in a modern language such as Java, Python, C#, Kotlin, or Go, and can pick up ours quickly.
• You build APIs and data models other code depends on — REST contracts, request and response validation, authentication, schema design, indexes, migrations, and SQL that holds up on real volume.
• You must have 2 + years of full stack software development experience.
• You ship and operate your own code in the cloud (AWS or Azure) — containers and CI/CD you can debug when the build or the deploy is what’s broken, plus on-call experience diagnosing a live issue from logs, metrics, and traces.
• You write real tests, not coverage — unit and integration, with a view on which belongs where and what a test actually proves .
• You write secure code by default — authorization checks, input validation, secrets handling, least privilege, and no PHI in logs.
• You reason well about systems, data, and tradeoffs. You can sketch how what you're building fits together, spot where it's likely to fail, and think about who else is affected if it does.
• Agentic AI is your primary development surface, and you catch what it gets subtly wrong. Not occasional autocomplete, not a hunch — you've shipped production code this way and can point to what you caught before it shipped.

Bonus: LLM application engineering (RAG, retrieval quality, evals, LLM observability), or modern TypeScript frontend work against a design system.

Compensation And Benefits

• Full benefits package, including Paid Time Off (PTO), medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, robust EAP, wellness program, and much more
• The salary range for this position is $125,000 - $175,000 USD. The base salary range represents the anticipated low end and high end of the range for this position. The actual compensation will be influenced by a wide range of factors including, but not limited to previous experience, education, pay market/geography, and scheduled hours.
