[Hiring] Software Systems Engineer @Artech

Role Description

We are currently seeking a "Software Systems Engineer" for a Contract role with one of our clients. Please apply if you are interested and available for it.

• Claude Code, at depth. Experience building, not just using it.
• Skills, sub-agents, CLAUDE.md instruction files, hooks, permissions, MCP connectors, and the token behavior underneath all of it. This is the primary tool of the role and the first thing we will ask you to show us.
• GitHub and CI. Migrated an existing body of work into version control and kept its history and attribution intact.
• You can design a repo structure, a branching model and a release process that a small non-engineering team will actually follow.
• You know how to keep data and secrets out of a repo by construction rather than by reminder.
• Python. Confident writing and testing pipelines with the standard library.
• You treat a new dependency as a cost to justify, not a default, because anyone on the team has to be able to run this from a fresh machine.
• Experience building with AI tools. Real delivery with agentic systems and RAG.
• You know how to draw boundaries between agents, ground answers in cited sources, and make a system say "I don't know" instead of guessing.
• You can show what a system costs to run before and after you work on it.
• Respect for provenance. Everything this team publishes carries a number that someone will act on.
• You treat an unsourced or undated figure as a defect.
• Jira and Confluence. Manage a backlog and write design docs and runbooks that other people use.

Qualifications

• Nice to have: Obsidian or a comparable markdown knowledge base at team scale.
• SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 connectors.
• Smartsheet, Confluence.
• API and MCP Connectivity.
• GCP or AWS.

Requirements

• 100% Remote.
• Duration: 06+ Months Contract.
• Pay Range: $75 - $80/hour on W2.
