AI-Native Software Engineer
Job Description
We are hiring an AI-native software engineer who treats large language models, copilots, and agentic workflows as core parts of their development environment, not optional add-ons. You will design, build, and refactor production systems in .NET/C#, while using the latest AI tooling to dramatically increase speed, quality, and leverage. You are not just a developer. You are an architect, systems thinker, and automation builder.
What "AI-Native" Means HereThis is not just "comfortable with GitHub Copilot/Claude Code/Codex." You:
- Use AI daily to generate, refactor, test, document, and review code.
- Build internal AI agents and workflows to automate repetitive engineering tasks.
- Design systems assuming AI components will exist in the architecture.
- Know when AI is wrong - and can spot hallucinations instantly.
- Continuously experiment with new tools and replace old workflows aggressively.
- Design and implement high-quality backend systems in .NET and C#.
- Build modular, testable, maintainable architectures.
- Make sound trade-offs between performance, maintainability, and speed of delivery.
- Refactor legacy systems intelligently (not cosmetically).
- Use LLMs and code-generation tools to:
- Draft and refactor production code.
- Generate unit/integration tests.
- Create migration scripts.
- Perform static analysis and code reviews.
- Produce technical documentation.
- Build internal AI assistants for:
- Log analysis.
- Support ticket triage.
- Codebase navigation.
- Technical debt discovery.
- Continuously optimize development workflows using AI.
- Design APIs (REST, event-driven, microservices where appropriate).
- Work with cloud-native patterns (Azure preferred).
- Integrate AI services into production systems.
- Evaluate when to build vs. buy vs. automate.
- Set standards for AI-assisted development.
- Mentor other engineers in AI-native workflows.
- Push for measurable productivity gains.
- Eliminate manual processes wherever possible.
Strong experience with:
- .NET
- C#
- ASP.NET Core / .NET Web APIs
Solid understanding of:
- Entity Framework / ORM patterns
- SQL and database design
- Clean architecture principles
- Dependency injection
- Testing frameworks (xUnit, NUnit, etc.)
- Azure experience preferred
- CI/CD pipelines
- Infrastructure as Code familiarity
- Observability (logging, tracing, monitoring)
Hands on experience with:
- LLM APIs
- Code copilots and AI IDE tooling
- Prompt engineering for engineering workflows
Experience building:
- AI assisted tools
- Internal bots or automation agents
Understanding of:
- Model limitations
- Cost performance trade offs
- Guardrails and reliability
You can:
- Read a 200k+ LOC codebase and map it quickly
- Identify architectural rot fast
- Make systems simpler, not more complex
You move fast but you don't create messes others have to clean up.
3. AI Skeptic + OptimistYou:
- Aggressively use AI
- But never blindly trust it
- Know how to validate outputs
- Treat AI as a junior developer that needs supervision
You don't wait for perfect specs. You prototype, validate, iterate.
Nice to Have- Experience modernizing legacy .NET Framework systems
- Experience integrating AI into enterprise workflows
- Background in regulated or compliance-heavy industries
- Frontend experience (React/Blazor) a plus but not mandatory
- Increase engineering throughput measurably using AI assisted workflows
- Reduce technical debt through intelligent refactoring
- Ship production grade AI enhanced features
- Help build an engineering culture where AI is standard, not experimental
- Deliver more output per engineer without compromising system integrity
