[Hiring] Associate Software Engineer @Valiant Solutions, LLC

Role Description

Valiant Solutions is hiring an Associate Software Engineer to build the internal apps, automations, and AI tools that help our staff work faster. The Associate Software Engineer will work directly with people across the company to find slow or error-prone work, then design, build, and measure the fix. Much of this work runs through VITALs (Valiant Innovation Team and Lab), our program that turns staff ideas into custom apps and automations.

Inside IT and Engineering, you work alongside the Engineering lead and the IT Systems Administrator:

• The Engineering lead sets technical direction and priorities.
• The IT Systems Administrator runs daily IT operations, user support, and software licenses.

You build the apps, automations, and AI tools that make the team, and the rest of Valiant, more efficient. All three roles share one backlog and review work together, so ideas move quickly from a support ticket or staff interview to a working tool.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field or equivalent experience.
• 0 to 2 years of experience. Internships and substantial projects count.
• Working skill in TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python.
• An app, tool, or automation you built that other people used.
• Working knowledge of REST APIs, OAuth 2.0, Git, and the Linux command line.
• Clear communication with technical and non-technical people, in writing and in conversation.
• Ability to learn how a team works, find where it slows down, and plan the fix.
• Self-direction in a fully remote team.

Requirements

• Google Cloud or another major cloud, plus Docker.
• Next.js or React.
• Workflow automation tools, such as n8n, Make.com, or Google Apps Script.
• LLM APIs, agents, MCP servers, or AI coding tools such as Claude Code.
• Google Workspace administration or GAM.
• IT support experience.
• Experience training users or running user acceptance testing.

Responsibilities

• Your core work is building software, automation, and AI tools that give Valiant staff time back.
• When IT gets busy, you also help the team with escalations.
• Develop projects from the VITALs backlog, from project charter and definition of done through sprints, launch, and measurement.
• Build and maintain apps on our internal Micro-App Platform for finance, contracts, HR, and other internal teams.
• Move workflows out of low-code apps and into custom apps when they outgrow them.
• Work with the IT Systems Administrator to further automate IT tasks and management.
• Build and maintain integrations between our business systems.
• Run user acceptance testing with each app's users, and confirm every app works on real tasks before launch.
• Ship through GitHub with code review, CI, tests, and a runbook for each release.
• Help set Valiant's AI development strategy.
• Build AI features, agents, and automations with LLM APIs and MCP servers.
• Train staff to use AI tools well through sessions, written guides, and one-on-one help.
• Meet with staff and department leads to learn how their work gets done.
• Keep exploring new ways technology can improve how Valiant works.
• Contribute to the project that defines Valiant's future app architecture.
