Associate Java Developer Jobs in Barrington, IL (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Senior Developer to join a dedicated Good Sam AI team focused exclusively on building new applications at extreme speed, using AI tools like Claude to handle the majority of hands-on code generation. This role blends strong engineering fundamentals with AI orchestration skill: instead of writing every line by hand, you direct, prompt, review, and harden AI-generated code so it ships fast without sacrificing quality. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with a small, tightly-scoped squad whose sole mission is shipping new applications in days rather than weeks.

Key Responsibilities:

• Use AI coding tools such as Claude and Claude Code as the primary means of writing, refactoring, and testing code across the full stack, rather than hand-coding every line.
• Translate product requirements directly into precise prompts, specs, and AI agent instructions that produce production-ready code.
• Rapidly prototype, build, and ship new applications within compressed War Room sprints, often measured in days rather than weeks.
• Review, validate, and harden AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability before it ships.
• Orchestrate multi-step and multi-agent AI workflows to handle end-to-end feature builds - design, code, test, and deploy.
• Collaborate in real time with product owners, designers, and fellow War Room engineers to resolve ambiguity and keep AI-driven development unblocked.
• Maintain architecture, coding, and integration standards even as delivery speed increases.
• Continuously evaluate emerging AI coding tools and models, adopting those that improve speed, quality, or reliability.

Requirements:

• Strong Full stack Development experience, leaning heavily on Back end services (Node, Java), sufficient to read, debug, and extend AI-generated code with confidence.
• Proficiency in database technologies (SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle).
• Solid understanding of integration patterns and design principles.
• Experience with GIT or other version-control systems.
• Hands-on experience directing AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to generate and modify production code.
• Demonstrated skill in prompt engineering and writing technical specs that AI tools can execute against reliably.
• Comfort operating at high speed in a compressed, iteration-heavy delivery model with minimal ceremony.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with Azure cloud services.
• Experience with Harness pipeline.
• Experience with agentic AI workflows or multi-agent orchestration tools.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes (k8s) for container orchestration.
• Knowledge of deployment and caching strategies.

Mindset:

• Thrives in a fast, high-pressure, build-and-iterate environment dedicated solely to new application development.
• Sound judgment on when to trust AI-generated output versus when to intervene manually, with a clear understanding of the limits of AI-generated code.
• Strong communication skills to bridge technical and business requirements in real time within a tightly collaborative team.
• Strategic thinker with a passion for innovation, continuously raising the bar on how fast and how well the team ships using AI.
