You'll be writing code that field crews, warehouse staff, and office teams use every day. It's an ideal role for a recent CS/bootcamp grad or a self-taught developer who wants to work on a production codebase, learn fast, and see their work go live immediately. We build with AI. Our team develops day-to-day in Claude Code, and you'll work the same way, using AI coding tools to move faster and take on more. Comfort directing an AI assistant, reviewing what it produces, and knowing when to trust it is core to how we work. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Build and maintain features in our internal web platform (TypeScript, SQL, modern web stack). * Develop with AI tools every day, primarily Claude Code, to plan, write, and review code efficiently. * Write automations that eliminate manual administrative, operational, and reporting work. * Work with Git for version control and collaborate on a shared codebase. * Query and maintain data across our databases; help keep data accurate and clean. * Troubleshoot issues, investigate bugs, and coordinate with the team to ship fixes. * Document what you build so the next person (and future you) can pick it up. * Partner with operations, warehouse, HR, and leadership to understand real problems and solve them with software. * Stay curious, and pick up new tools and techniques that make the company run better ## Related Videos - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [GraphQL + Apollo + Next.js: A Lovely Trio](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/311-graphql-apollo-next-js-a-lovely-trio) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE – AI, Freelancing, Keeping Up with Tech and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1786-wearedevelopers-live-ai-freelancing-keeping-up-with-tech-and-more) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
