Senior AI-Native Software Engineer (Claude / .NET) | Remote

About PeoplePartners

• At PeoplePartners, we believe great careers happen when talented people get the opportunity, support, and freedom to do their best work.

• As a Great Place to Work® certified company, we’ve built a people-first culture where growth isn’t just talked about—it’s part of the experience. You’ll gain valuable global exposure working with an Australian-based technology environment, tackle meaningful engineering challenges, and continue developing alongside people who genuinely want to see you succeed.

• If you’re looking for challenging work, international experience, continuous learning, and a workplace that puts people first, you’ll feel right at home.

Role Overview

• There’s a difference between using AI to code and genuinely knowing how to engineer with AI.

• We’re looking for a Senior AI-Native Software Engineer who combines strong software engineering fundamentals with genuinely AI-native development practices.

• AI-assisted development isn’t an experiment or a side project here. It’s becoming part of how great software gets planned, architected, built, tested, verified, documented, monitored, and shipped.

• If Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or similar AI development tools already feel like a natural extension of how you work—but you also know that “the AI said it works” is definitely not a testing strategy—you’ll probably enjoy this one.

• You’ll take work from ticket → plan → implementation → verification → PR → production, using AI to create genuine engineering leverage without outsourcing your engineering judgment to it.

• That means knowing how to work with agents, context, automation, and AI-assisted workflows—and knowing when an AI-generated answer needs to be challenged, corrected, or replaced by a human one.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build, maintain, test, and support production software applications.

• Use Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or similar AI-assisted development tools as part of daily engineering workflows.

• Own delivery from ticket → plan → implementation → verification → pull request → production.

• Plan and validate technical approaches before generating implementation code.

• Maintain project context files such as CLAUDE.md, reusable prompts, skills, and engineering conventions.

• Build and maintain workflows involving AI agents, MCP servers, subagents, hooks, and headless or CI-run agents.

• Connect AI agents with development tools, databases, and engineering workflows.

• Review AI-generated code for incorrect assumptions, invented APIs, security issues, and inadequate tests.

• Build meaningful unit and integration tests against actual acceptance criteria, including edge cases.

• Apply Clean Architecture, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and core design patterns where appropriate.

• Work with relational and NoSQL databases, including schema design, query tuning, and migrations.

• Build and support services in AWS or Azure environments.

• Implement and use structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and meaningful alerting to diagnose production issues.

• Create and maintain design notes, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), API documentation, release notes, and runbooks.

• Build AI-driven automation for repetitive engineering and operational processes using tools such as n8n or Zapier.

• Integrate applications with third-party APIs and services.

• Contribute to technical planning, estimation, and software delivery.

• Protect sensitive information when using AI tools, including secrets, customer PII, and payment/card data.

• Apply appropriate access scoping and security practices when connecting AI agents to systems and data.

• Identify technical, security, privacy, and delivery risks early.

• Own software through deployment, troubleshooting, and production support.

• Share effective AI-assisted engineering patterns and help standardize workflows across the engineering team.

• Coach and mentor engineers on responsible and effective AI adoption.
  

Job Requirements:

Required Qualifications (Must-Have):

• 5–7+ years of commercial software engineering experience, including experience operating at Senior Software Engineer level.

• Strong commercial experience with .NET / C# and/or React / Next.js.

• Production experience with SQL Server, PostgreSQL and/or MongoDB.

• Database experience covering schema design, query tuning, and migrations.

• Hands-on experience with AWS or Azure, including deploying, running, and troubleshooting services.

• Experience with Clean Architecture, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and core software design patterns.

• Professional experience actively using Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or similar AI-assisted development tools.

• Experience incorporating AI-assisted development into structured software engineering workflows.

• Experience with AI-assisted testing, code review, documentation, and automation.

• Strong unit and integration testing practices, including verification against acceptance criteria.

• Experience with GitHub and Jira or equivalent software delivery workflows.

• Experience with production observability, including structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerting.

• Strong technical documentation skills, including design notes, ADRs, API documentation, and runbooks.

• Experience contributing to planning, estimation, and delivery.

• Experience owning software through development, deployment, and production support.

• Understanding of security and privacy requirements when using AI tools with sensitive information.

• Ability to explain architectural decisions and technical trade-offs clearly.

• Ability to mentor engineers and support adoption of effective AI development practices.

• Ability to work consistently during AEST business hours.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with MCP servers.

• Experience with AI subagents and hooks.

• Experience with headless or CI-run AI agents.

• Experience with context engineering, including project context files such as CLAUDE.md.

• Experience creating reusable AI prompts, skills, and engineering conventions.

• Experience connecting AI agents with Jira, GitHub, databases, and development workflows.

• Experience with n8n.

• Experience with Zapier.

• Experience with CI/CD-integrated AI tooling.

• Experience with OpenTelemetry.

• Experience with advanced observability tooling and distributed tracing platforms.

• Blazor development experience.

• Framer experience.

• Third-party API integration experience.

• Experience working in fintech, payments, or another regulated environment.

• Familiarity with ISO 27001 environments.

• Familiarity with PCI DSS compliance requirements.

Why Join PeoplePartners?

• This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of serious software engineering and genuinely practical AI adoption.

• At PeoplePartners, you’ll be part of a Great Place to Work® certified culture where people, learning, and career development matter. You’ll gain international exposure supporting an Australian environment while enjoying the advantages of a remote, work-from-home setup.

• You’ll have opportunities to keep developing your technical capabilities, experiment with emerging AI engineering practices, participate in employee engagement activities, and learn alongside people who believe better ways of working are worth sharing.

• And this isn’t a role where success is measured by how much code AI can generate.

• Success means delivering reliable production software, meaningful tests, sound architectural decisions, clear documentation, stronger engineering workflows, responsible AI adoption, and outcomes you’re prepared to own.

• If you think before you generate, verify before you ship, raise risks early, and know when AI needs a human engineer to take over, we want to hear from you.

• Ready to build software with AI rather than simply ask AI to build software for you? Apply through PeoplePartners and show us how AI has changed the way you plan, build, test, verify, and ship.
