Position Responsibilities About the Role Join our engineering team to help build Deltek's desktop-based Project Portfolio Management platform. As a Software Engineer, you will contribute to real customer outcomes while building foundational experience in modern software engineering and AI-first development. This role is designed for a graduate developer who is ready to learn quickly, work with experienced engineers, and use tools like Claude Code as part of a fully agentic development lifecycle.
Qualifications What We're Looking For
AI-First Mindset: This role requires embracing an AI-first approach where GenAI and agentic AI tools are essential collaborators, not optional supplements. You will use Claude Code as part of a fully agentic development lifecycle that supports planning, implementation, testing, review, documentation, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate is interested in building customer outcomes with AI-enabled development practices. You should have basic hands-on experience using GenAI tools to explore requirements, generate or improve code, test ideas, troubleshoot issues, or accelerate learning. You do not need to be an AI expert, but you should be curious, thoughtful, and ready to learn how agentic workflows can improve software delivery. We are looking for someone who approaches feature development by asking: "What customer problem are we solving, and how can AI help us deliver a better outcome faster and more responsibly?" This includes being comfortable with rapid AI tool evolution, willing to experiment with new development workflows, and committed to validating AI-generated work through strong engineering judgment. We value developers who see AI as a productivity multiplier and learning accelerator, not a replacement for engineering fundamentals, collaboration, customer empathy, quality, security, or maintainable design.
