Rather than simply asking you to talk about AI development, there will be a practical session using Claude Code to solve a real engineering problem.If you're a strong React/Next.js engineer who has embraced agentic development and wants to work somewhere that's building its engineering model around it, this should be a genuinely interesting project. #J-18808-Ljbffr ## Description continuously delivered, with engineers responsible for the quality of what they ship.AI is genuinely part of the engineering workflowThis isn't a traditional development environment that has recently added an AI tool.The engineering model has been designed around agentic development from the outset.You'll use Claude Code as a core part of your daily development workflow, working from structured designs to generate components, Storybook stories and tests together.The important part isn't simply generating code.As a Senior Engineer, you'll be expected to understand how to prompt effectively, critically review AI-generated output, identify problems, improve the code and feed better standards back into the tooling.You'll remain the engineer making the decisions - AI simply allows you to work differently and move faster.What you'll be working withThe core stack includes:React & Next.js - including App Router and React Server ComponentsTypeScriptNext.js route handlers ## Related Videos - [HTTP headers that make your website go faster](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1676-http-headers-that-make-your-website-go-faster) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [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) - [Event based cache invalidation in GraphQL](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/433-event-based-cache-invalidation-in-graphql) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE – Frontend Inspirations, Web Standards and more](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1761-wearedevelopers-live-frontend-inspirations-web-standards-and-more) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Dev Digest 108 - Git off my cloud!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/407-dev-digest-108-git-off-my-cloud) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai)
