Software Engineer, Korrus Engineering (AI-First) - Contract

· Partner with the people who will use what you build, understand what they actually need, and make sure it gets used.

· Work across the stack and close to the data: backends, APIs, SQL, and a clean interface when one is needed.

· Help shape how we build as our AI-first engineering practice matures.

What we're looking for

· Solid computer science fundamentals. You understand data structures, algorithms, and how systems fit together, and you reason about a problem before you code it.

· Strong Python, and comfort being a generalist across the stack rather than boxed into one layer.

· The ability to work from ambiguity. You can get moving without a detailed spec and turn a fuzzy problem into working software.

· Genuine fluency with modern AI coding tools, and real curiosity about using AI to build faster. You want to learn more, not less.

· Comfort with mess: real-world data, and systems that were never designed to talk to each other.

· The ability to sit with someone who is not an engineer, understand what they need, and earn their trust. You care about the outcome, not just the code.

· A bias to finish. You ship, you follow through, and you make sure the thing you built actually gets used.

· The ability to work independently and make sound decisions with limited direction.

Strong pluses

· Internships, personal projects, hackathons, or open source where you shipped something real people used.

· Experience with any of: data pipelines, workflow automation, cloud (AWS), business or ERP systems, or mobile.

· A track record of building things on your own initiative.

Logistics and compensation

• Contract engagement — full-time hours, remote (US), with meaningful overlap with Pacific working hours.

• Occasional travel for in-person working sessions.

• $8,000 – $9,500 per month depending on experience.

• Early career welcome — recent graduates through approximately 3–4 years of experience encouraged to apply.
