Senior Software Engineer - AI & Cloud Consulting

Global Mission Technology Partners (GMTP) is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, building production-quality software, and working directly with clients.

This role combines hands-on software engineering with technical consulting. You will design, develop, test, and deploy modern software solutions while helping clients translate business requirements into secure, scalable, cloud-based applications.

We are looking for an engineer who is equally comfortable writing code, discussing technical trade-offs with clients, and leveraging modern AI-assisted development tools to deliver exceptional results.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a traditional software engineering position. You'll work directly with clients, help shape technical solutions, and apply modern AI-assisted development practices to deliver secure, production-quality software. If you enjoy solving challenging technical problems while influencing architecture and client outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, test, and deploy production software for commercial and government clients.
• Build modern web applications using Python and JavaScript, leveraging frameworks such as React and Next.js. Experience with Rust is a plus.
• Develop secure REST APIs and cloud-native applications deployed to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Implement DevSecOps and GitOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, automated testing, and containerized deployments.
• Design and optimize relational databases using SQL.
• Use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, or similar platforms to improve development productivity while maintaining high engineering standards.
• Review, validate, and improve AI-generated code before incorporating it into production systems.
• Work directly with client stakeholders to gather requirements, present technical recommendations, demonstrate solutions, and communicate project status.
• Produce professional technical documentation and client deliverables.
• Contribute to engineering best practices, reusable software components, and continuous process improvement.
• Travel occasionally to client locations when required.

• 8+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong experience with Python and modern web application development.
• Experience with React, Next.js, JavaScript, or similar front-end technologies.
• Experience deploying production applications to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Strong SQL and relational database experience.
• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and modern DevSecOps practices.
• Experience using AI-assisted software development tools.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.
• Authorization to work in the United States.
