Our Engineering team is focused on building a reliable product that educates our users. As an organization, we are also pioneering robust AI Software Governance solutions. While that broader mission is a key part of our future, your team's specific focus in this role will be directly on developing and enhancing our core Learning Platform. We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Bruges team and help us build these critical educational tools.
In this role, you will work on delivering features that help developers learn to write secure software and understand the usage of AI. You will be part of a collaborative team, working alongside engineers across multiple regions to evolve our architecture and consistently deliver value.
We actively utilize AI—not just as a subject we teach our users, but as a practical tool in our own software development. If you are a versatile developer who enjoys a collaborative environment and using modern tools to build good software, we would love to have you on our team.
What You Will Do
Drive Product Innovation: Architect, build, and deliver robust, scalable features for our Learning Platform that directly impact how external developers learn secure coding and AI principles.
Full-Stack Development: Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code across our core stack, primarily utilizing Node.js on the backend and React on the frontend.
Database Management: Design, optimize, and interact with various database technologies, maintaining high performance across both MongoDB (NoSQL) and PostgreSQL (SQL) environments.
Legacy Modernization: Navigate, maintain, and systematically modernize existing legacy codebases. Your versatility as an all-around developer will be crucial here.
Champion AI-Assisted Engineering: Actively utilize and advocate for AI coding assistants and LLMs in your daily workflow to accelerate development, improve test coverage, and enhance overall code quality.
Collaborate and Mentor: Work closely with cross-functional teams (Product, Design) and partner with other engineering squads to align on shared goals in a fast-paced environment. Participate actively in pair programming, code reviews, and architectural discussions to elevate the team's technical capabilities.
What You Will Bring
Experience: 5+ years of relevant professional experience as a full-stack software engineer in a SaaS or enterprise environment
Core Technologies: Advanced proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, and modern React
Data Fluency: Hands-on experience designing and managing data models in both MongoDB and PostgreSQL
AI Proficiency: Comfort and experience using AI development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) to boost productivity. You understand how to prompt effectively and review AI-generated code critically
Adaptability: A proven track record of diving into legacy code, understanding its context, and making safe, iterative improvements without disrupting existing functionality
Engineering Best Practices: Deep understanding of RESTful APIs, version control (Git), and modern software design patterns
Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with container orchestration using Kubernetes and deploying applications in cloud environments
Team Player mindset: Excellent communication skills and a willingness to pair program, share knowledge, and collaborate daily with your peers
You Will Stand Out If You Also Have
Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and deployment (AWS, CI/CD pipelines).
Strong background in Test-Driven Development (TDD) and automated testing frameworks.
Experience using and interacting with AI agents in your development workflow.
A passion for cybersecurity and a fundamental understanding of secure coding practices (OWASP Top 10, etc.).
