Associate Software Engineer at Atmosphere in Austin, TX

About the Role:

We're looking for a motivated Associate Software Engineer to join our engineering team in a role focused on AI-augmented software quality. You'll work at the intersection of AI tooling and defect management - using AI to triage, patch, test, and deploy fixes across our stack. You'll collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to prioritize defects, own the testing and deployment of AI-implemented patches, and help monitor and manage triage workflows for the broader engineering organization. This is a hands-on role where you'll be moving fast, learning the codebase deeply, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development.

This position will report to the Engineering Lead, and is on-site in Austin, TX!  Availability to be in-office 4-5 days a week is required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Triage and prioritize defects across the product, working with engineering and product teams to determine impact and urgency
• Leverage AI tools to generate patches for defects and iterate on solutions
• Own testing and validation of solutions - ensure fixes are correct, don't introduce regressions, and meet quality standards
• Deploy fixes through CI/CD pipeline and monitor production for issues post-deploy
• Build and improve workflows for AI-assisted defect resolution - document what works, what doesn't, and how to scale it
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, product, and stakeholders to understand defect patterns and prioritize effectively
• Be intrinsically motivated, naturally curious, and enjoy seeking out new problems

Requirements:

• Bias towards simplicity
• Computer Science degree or equivalent demonstrated expertise
• 0-2 years of software engineering experience
• Strong CS fundamentals including system design, data structures, and algorithms
• Daily use of AI across the entire development lifecycle (planning, design, coding, testing, deployment).
• Ability to read and understand code across multiple languages and frameworks
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication skills - you'll need to explain what you're finding and fixing to engineers and product stakeholders

Nice to Haves:

• Experience with full-stack codebases (backend APIs, frontend, mobile)
• Familiarity with TypeScript/NestJS, PHP/Laravel, or similar frameworks
• Experience writing automated tests (unit, integration, e2e)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
• Experience with bug tracking and triage systems

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Company Equity
• Company 401(k) with employer matching
• Competitive insurance plans
• Flexible Time Off Policy

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future employer sponsorship now or in the future.
