Engineer, Software I
About The Position
Help shape AI-accelerated development at Rise Internet by partnering with teams across the company to build web apps, applets, automations, and integrations. The role works with teams in network and engineering, sales and marketing, customer support, and finance and operations, using systems and data behind a broadband operation. The technology stack includes Postgres, MySQL, Kubernetes, and Python APIs. The company values building and shipping over expertise in any one tool. The role owns delivery with guidance from the Principal Software Architect and senior technical leaders, who provide regular code reviews and architecture support, scope projects to the employee’s experience, and review and approve production changes while the employee develops experience. The successful candidate will deliver projects from initial discussion through deployment and ongoing support, maintain and modernize existing software and tools, and help establish reliable AI-accelerated development practices. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. A link to relevant work, such as a portfolio, GitHub repository, or project—ideally one made with AI tools—is encouraged.

- Working SQL and enough database fluency to wrangle the data a solution needs.
- Proficiency with Git, including branching, versioning, and maintaining parallel workstreams across multiple people and AI agents.
