# Software Engineer

- **Company:** The Search Ltd
- **Location:** United States (Remote available)
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Java (Programming Language), Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Python (Programming Language), Software Security, Backend, Front End Software Development, Api Design
- **Published:** July 23, 2026
- **Apply:** https://arc.dev/remote-jobs/j/redirect/p6l9m4ts8b

## About the Role

* Strong backend engineering in at least one language, and the sense to pick the right tool rather than the familiar one.
 * Cloud and deployment. You can put a service into production and look after it, not just write the code.
 * Solid grounding in system design and engineering principles. You think about failure, data, and maintenance before you think about frameworks.
 * Fluent with agentic development. You've built real things with coding agents (Claude Code or similar) and you understand context management, skills and subagents, prompting, and orchestration. You have a view on where they help and where they get in the way.
 * API design and integration. Clean interfaces, sensible contracts, third-party services wired in without drama.

Desirable:

 * Enough frontend and UI sense to build a decent interface, even if you're not a frontend specialist.
 * Comfortable across several languages, for example Python, Go, or Java, and happy to pick up whatever a project calls for.
 * Application security, and care when handling sensitive data.
 * Any exposure to forensics, compliance, fraud, or eGaming.

## Description

* Build and own some of the projects end to end: backend, deployment, and the day-to-day of keeping them healthy.
 * Design systems that are simple to run and simple for the next person to read.
 * Work with AI agents as a normal part of how you build, and know when to trust them and when not to.
 * Integrate with third-party services (KYC providers, payment and gaming platforms, forensic data sources).
 * Pick up whatever the project needs, including bits of frontend, data work, and infrastructure.
