Senior AI-Augmented Software Engineer

CampusIQ | North Austin, TX (Hybrid)

We Build Different. AI Writes Our Code. We Write the Vision.
We're looking for engineers who've embraced the reality that AI is now the best developer on the team.

CampusIQ is leading the transformation of campus analytics, and we're doing it with a radically different approach to development. Our entire stack is AI-generated. We use Claude Code as our primary development environment—architecture, implementation, testing, deployment—it's all driven through AI collaboration. This isn't about using AI as a helper. It's about recognizing that AI has fundamentally changed what software development means.

Our Development Philosophy

• Claude Code is our development platform: Every feature starts and ends with AI collaboration

• Specification over implementation: We describe what we want, not how to build it

• Ship daily, iterate constantly: No lengthy code reviews, no analysis paralysis

• Delete and regenerate: Bad code isn't refactored, it's replaced

• AI-first architecture: Systems designed for AI to build and maintain

What You'll Do

• Design and specify features for our campus analytics platform through AI collaboration

• Architect serverless AWS systems processing billions of real-time events

• Lead our AI-first development practices and help define new workflows

• Ship production features in hours, not weeks

• Mentor other engineers on effective AI collaboration

• Build the future of higher education technology

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years shipping production software (traditional or AI-assisted)
• Expert-level AI collaboration: You know how to get Claude Code to build complex systems
• Python/React/AWS knowledge: You understand the architecture, even if AI writes the code
• Startup experience preferred: You thrive in fast-moving, autonomous environments
• Strong communication skills: Your specifications are clear, detailed, and actionable
• Austin-based required: Hybrid role with regular in-office collaboration in North Austin
  

What Sets You Apart

• You've shipped entire features using only AI-generated code
• You think in systems and specifications, not functions and classes
• You're excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI
• You can move fast without breaking things (because AI helps you get it right)
• You're comfortable with the idea that the best code is the code you didn't write
  

The Opportunity

Join a team that's not just using cutting-edge tools—we're defining how software gets built in the AI era. We're processing massive amounts of campus data, delivering real value to universities, and doing it all with a lean team that moves faster than organizations 10x our size.

Our hybrid environment combines the flexibility of remote work with the creative energy of in-person collaboration at our North Austin office.

Salary

$160K - $220K + equity + the chance to revolutionize how software is built.
