Recent College Grad Software Developer Jobs in Tempe, AZ

Wise Pelican is an AI-first engineering organization. Nearly all of our code is written by AI agents. Our Software Engineers do the work agents can't: designing the system, defining what correct means, reviewing and rejecting output, and owning what ships. If you are still clinging to the days of hand-writing every line, this isn't your role. If you want to direct a fleet of agents and be fully accountable for what they produce and impact clients, keep reading.

You'll ship real features for Wise Pelican's real estate client base across the country. We run multi-agent automation pipelines on our own hardware, and we're genuinely still figuring out what this discipline looks like; you'd help define it rather than inherit it, and you'll do it with a lean team.

Wise Pelican is an innovative leader in real estate marketing solutions, empowering real estate professionals with cutting-edge tools and services. As a growing company with a global workforce, we foster a dynamic, inclusive work environment that promotes growth, innovation, and collaboration.
