Jr. Software Engineer - AI & Prompt Engineering (Contract to Perm)

We are seeking an entry-level Computer Science graduate for a contract to perm role, who is excited about building software in an AI augmented world. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who understands core CS fundamentals and is eager to apply prompt engineering and AI assisted development techniques to real production systems.

• Design and refine prompts to support software development, data analysis, and automation workflows, with a focus on consistency, reusability, and performance
• Test, evaluate, and validate AI-generated outputs (code, text, summaries) for correctness, security, and reliability; identify edge cases and implement safeguards where needed
• Assist in building and maintaining small services, scripts, and internal tools that integrate AI models via APIs, ensuring they are scalable and production-ready
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following established coding standards; contribute to unit and integration testing to ensure software quality
• Debug and troubleshoot issues across the stack, including AI-generated outputs, application logic, and API integrations
• Participate in code reviews by providing and incorporating feedback to improve code quality and team standards
• Contribute to system design discussions and help break down tasks into manageable components
• Monitor and evaluate the performance of AI-driven features in production; suggest improvements based on observed behavior and metrics
• Learn and apply best practices related to AI safety, hallucination detection, and output evaluation, and incorporate them into development workflows
• Work with version control systems (e.g., Git) to manage code changes, branches, and collaboration workflows
