Junior React Developer Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
flyExclusive is one of the fastest-growing private aviation companies in the country, seeking a Senior Software Developer to join their team. The role involves directing AI coding agents, designing and building machine-learning models, and ensuring the delivery of production software on a regulated SaaS platform.
Responsibilities:
• Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain production software and services for internal and customer-facing use cases — primarily by directing AI coding agents and verifying their output.
• Plan and decompose work for AI coding agents, then review, correct, and integrate what they produce — treating the agent as a fast junior engineer you are accountable for, never an oracle.
• Integrate third-party APIs and external systems (vendor data feeds, payments, messaging, mapping, and LLM/AI services) into platforms, products, and operational workflows.
• Design, build, train, evaluate, and deploy machine-learning and AI models for business use cases (e.g., pricing, flight-time estimation, and demand/fleet optimization), and integrate them into production workflows.
• Build and maintain scalable backend services, internal tools, data pipelines, and typed front ends.
• Design data models, APIs, and structured, auditable workflows that AI agents can execute safely and reliably.
• Optimize application performance across latency, cost, scalability, and reliability.
• Direct and supervise AI coding agents to plan, implement, test, and ship production features end-to-end — reviewing and verifying AI output, not blindly trusting it.
• Build and maintain multi-tenant backend services, internal tools, and their typed front ends (e.g., ASP.NET Core / EF Core / Azure SQL and React / TypeScript).
• Diagnose and resolve real production issues using telemetry — application logs, metrics, and database query plans — and verify every fix on the live system.
• Operate the cloud platform and delivery pipeline: Azure services, CI/CD, and source control, shipping small, well-tested changes.
• Iterate quickly while holding a regulated, high-stakes bar — correctness, traceability, and no silent failures.
• Continuously replace traditional engineering workflows with AI-assisted systems and help improve the agent tooling itself.
• Collaborate with product managers, stakeholders, and engineering teams to identify high-value work and translate business needs into shipped, working software.
• Ensure best practices in security, governance, testing, version control, traceability, and responsible AI usage.
• Document architecture, workflows, technical decisions, and deployment standards.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
• Six plus years of professional software development experience, including senior-level ownership of features end-to-end in production.
• Strong, current hands-on experience in C#/.NET and TypeScript/JavaScript (React) plus SQL; comfortable using Python for scripting and automation.
• Proven track record shipping and operating production software in a cloud environment — deploys, rollbacks, monitoring, and incident response.
• Daily, hands-on experience directing AI coding agents/assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex) to plan, implement, test, and ship real features — with the judgment to review and verify their output rather than trust it blindly.
• Strong prompting and agent-direction skills: breaking down work, giving agents the right context, and reliably catching incorrect, unsafe, or incomplete output.
• Hands-on experience building, training, evaluating, and deploying machine-learning / AI models in production, including comfort with the Python ML stack (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch, or similar) and taking models from prototype to production.
• Solid experience with REST APIs, backend services, and cloud platforms — Azure preferred (AWS or Google Cloud acceptable).
• Strong relational-database and SQL skills — including reading query plans and diagnosing performance — and comfort working directly in the data, not just the application code.
• Fluency with CI/CD pipelines, Git, automated testing, and modern software-engineering practices, including verifying changes locally before they ship.
• Ability to translate business requirements into working software, delivered with AI-assisted development.
• Must be authorized to work lawfully in the United States without sponsorship.
Preferred:
• Experience operating multi-tenant SaaS (e.g., database-per-tenant, per-tenant configuration, and applying migrations across many tenant databases).
• Strong production-observability instincts — using application logs, metrics, distributed tracing, and telemetry (e.g., Azure Application Insights) to find and verify root cause on the live system.
• Familiarity with model evaluation, monitoring, and MLOps practices that keep production models reliable over time.
• Experience integrating LLM APIs (e.g., Anthropic Claude or Azure OpenAI) into product features, and power-user familiarity with the Claude/Anthropic API or Claude Code.
• Knowledge of data governance, security, privacy, and responsible AI principles.
