About the Role
If you live and breathe agentic coding and can’t imagine living another day without your Cursor or Claude code subscription: we want you on our team.
In this role, you’ll build scalable backend software in Java, supporting applications used by ADT customers. You’ll also play a key role in shaping how AI and automation are integrated into our products and engineering workflows.
What You’ll Do
- Partner with Product, UX, and fellow Software Engineers to turn ideas into scalable, production-ready code
- Design and develop internal (and potentially customer-facing) agents to automate processes as model capabilities evolve
- Integrate multi-modal models into product pipeline to help better take care of our users, from analyzing video streams to generating automated, ML-driven reports
- Design systems with scalability, performance, and storage in mind
- Work with QA to build repeatable, automated validation of user-facing features
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues across environments
- Ensure stability and performance of production systems with minimal user impact
- Estimate effort for new projects (in tokens)
- Follow best practices across coding standards and the full software development lifecycle
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Strong experience with Java backend development
- Experience building React web and/or mobile applications
- Comfortable working in AI-assisted development environments (e.g., Cursor, Claude, MCPs, feedback loops)
- Ability to write clean, readable code independently (without AI assistance)
- Solid understanding of system architecture and design
- Experience with web services (REST and/or WebSockets)
- Experience with data storage systems:
- SQL
- Key-value stores
- Document databases
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS and/or GCP)
- Proficiency with Git version control
How You Work
- Comfortable collaborating within a team (human and AI-assisted environments)
- Proactive, self-driven, and able to take ownership of work
- Strong problem-solving skills with ability to navigate complex challenges
- Curious and continuously learning new technologies
- Able to manage multiple priorities effectively
- Seek guidance from others when needed
Key Traits for Success
- Customer-focused mindset
- Strong sense of ownership and accountability
- Bias for action and results
- High integrity and professionalism
- Collaborative and effective in team environments
- Adaptable and comfortable with change
- Ongoing commitment to learning and technical growth
