[Hiring] Senior Engineer, AI-First Builder @Cruit Group

Role Description

The landscape of software development is undergoing a fundamental shift, and so is the way we build technology. We are pioneering the "Builder" role—a hybrid evolution designed for elite engineers who recognize that AI-first workflows can radically compress traditional development timelines.

We are not looking for engineers who merely build AI solutions (like standard RAG apps or basic agent fine-tuning). We are seeking seasoned, masterful software engineers who were highly successful before the introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs), and who have now actively evolved their personal development workflows using AI to massively accelerate delivery.

You will join a high-impact engineering delivery team initially aligned to a major digital transformation for a massive enterprise client, or leading a greenfield, AI-first operations platform build designed to completely replace a legacy system.

What You'll Do

• Accelerate the Lifecycle: Take complex business requirements and utilize advanced AI-assisted development tools (such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc.) to rapidly spin up MVPs and functional prototypes in hours rather than weeks.
• Full-Lifecycle Engineering: Own the architectural planning, documentation, implementation planning, code generation, and product requirement/user story refinement process.
• Client-Facing Impact: This role requires high emotional intelligence and exceptional communication. You will regularly interact with enterprise stakeholders, translating technical vision into clear business value.
• Build From Scratch: Engage in true greenfield development, focusing on execution, speed, and practical, production-ready solutions over unnecessary over-engineering.

Qualifications

• Deep Engineering Roots: A strong, foundational background in core engineering principles. You must have a proven track record as a heavy-hitting engineer prior to the mainstream adoption of AI coding tools.
• Advanced AI Workflows: You can articulately demonstrate exactly how AI has transformed your development process. We want to hear how you use AI for architectural planning, reviewing diverse technical approaches, research, and writing implementation plans—not just as a basic autocomplete tool.
• Tech Stack Agnostic (With Strong Anchors): The core ecosystem for these initial enterprise initiatives leverages Azure, .NET/C#, and React. While an exact match is ideal, we value strong grounding in any robust backend technology, paired with a willingness to adapt.
• Sharp, Independent Thinkers: You must be able to hold your own in deep technical conversations, think critically on your feet, and communicate crystal-clear concepts without relying on external aids or scripts.

Benefits

• 100% Remote (US-Based)
• Mid-$150k – $170k base (Bonus Eligible)
• Enterprise hardware provided

Company Description

This is the ideal home for a builder who loves shipping real software fast, thrives in autonomy, and wants to work on massive enterprise modernization without the burden of maintaining archaic legacy code. You will have a direct hand in shaping how AI-driven engineering is executed at scale.
