Software Engineer (AI-Native)

About the role

Hireology’s Business Technology team builds the tools, workflows, and automations that the rest of the company runs on, from Finance and Revenue Operations to Sales, Customer Success, IT, and Implementation. As a Software Engineer, you’ll design, architect, and build software solutions that make the day-to-day work of those teams faster and less painful.

Responsibilities

• Work directly with internal teams across Finance, RevOps, Sales, CS, IT, and Implementation to understand their pain points and build solutions that actually fix them.
• Arcitect and build full-stack applications in C# .NET and Next.js, deployed in the cloud.
• Build and deploy AI agents, workflows, plugins, and skills to automate internal business processes.
• Work within Hireology’s AI SDLC using spec-driven and context engineering practices (Claude Code, Superpowers, BMAD).
• Deeply understand the capabilities of third-party systems we use across the business and build integrations and data flows that connect them in useful ways.
• Know when to reach for AI and when a simple, deterministic solution is the better call.
• Make technical ideas understandable to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate with them through the design process.
• Practice continuous deployment, feature flagging, and test-driven development.
• Keep the team in the loop by documenting decisions, sharing progress early, and communicating proactively.
• Own what you build long-term. There’s no handoff to another team once something ships. You support it, maintain it, and improve it over time.

Qualifications

• 5-7 years of full-stack software engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency in C# .NET and Next.js (React).
• Hands-on experience in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP, or similar).
• Experience with AI tooling in an engineering context, such as LLM integrations, agentic workflows, or AI-augmented development.
• Familiarity with continuous deployment pipelines and feature flagging (e.g., LaunchDarkly).
• Working knowledge of Test-Driven Development (TDD).
• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, plugins, or skills ecosystems.
• Experience with prompt engineering, context engineering, or spec-driven development practices.

Location

This role is hybrid based in Chicago, IL. Because Business Technology is a new department and much of the work involves face-to-face collaboration with non-technical colleagues, we expect this person to be in office at least 3 days per week. That cadence may shift based on project needs.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $120,000- $140,000 (Plus bonus)
• Health, Dental, and Vision coverage from day one
• 401(k) with company match
• Unlimited PTO and mental health days
• External learning budget
• Real career advancement—we promote from within
