AI in Action: Your Role
We are seeking a Senior Software Developer to build software within an AI-first development environment.
At Bold, we expect AI to generate the majority of our code, with developers guiding, validating, and shaping the output. This role emphasizes pushing the limits of AI tools, not just occasional use.
You will work on complex ecommerce applications where integrating AI into the development process presents challenging opportunities for thoughtful experimentation. Success requires curiosity, persistence, and genuine excitement for solving difficult technical problems. We seek someone who enjoys exploring the possibilities of AI, even when answers are not obvious, and is comfortable experimenting until solutions are found.
You will also champion AI-driven development by sharing ideas, experimenting with new tools, and uncovering new possibilities.
If you already use AI extensively in your daily development workflow and frequently experiment with it outside of work, you will thrive in this environment.
Your Mission
- Utilize AI tools to generate the majority of application code, validating and refining outputs for correctness, security, and architectural alignment.
- Push the boundaries of AI capabilities within complex legacy systems, solving difficult integration and workflow challenges.
- Experiment with new AI tools, prompting strategies, and development workflows to continuously improve software construction.
- Identify opportunities where AI can accelerate development, testing, and debugging.
- Address ambiguous or technically challenging problems with persistence and curiosity.
- Share insights with the team and champion an AI-first development mindset.
- Contribute to system architecture, ensuring scalability and maintainability for both AI-generated and human-written code.
Who Thrives Here
- 7+ years of professional software development experience.
- Strong experience with PHP (Laravel) and Go, alongside modern frontend technologies.
- Hands-on experience building and integrating Shopify apps and APIs.
- Extensive daily use of AI in your development workflow, not just occasionally.
- Enjoyment in experimenting with AI tools, prompting techniques, and automation workflows.
- Comfort in tackling complex technical challenges where AI solutions are not immediately perfect.
- Curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to solve problems others might avoid.
What Sets You Apart
- Enjoy exploring AI-assisted coding beyond standard tools, experimenting with new approaches outside of work.
- Thrive on solving complex engineering problems requiring creativity, persistence, and experimentation.
- Excitement about discovering how far AI can be pushed in real-world systems to accelerate development and solve hard technical challenges.
