What is a temporary software engineer?

A Temporary Software Engineer is a short-term position where an engineer is hired to work on software development projects for a limited period. These roles are often used to fill gaps in teams, handle increased workloads, or contribute to specific project phases. Temporary software engineers perform coding, debugging, testing, and other development tasks like permanent employees but without long-term commitments. Depending on company needs, these roles may last from a few weeks to several months.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a temporary software engineer?

A Temporary Software Engineer should have a strong background in programming languages, software development methodologies, and relevant degrees or certifications, such as a bachelor's in computer science. Familiarity with tools like Git, project management platforms, and frameworks such as React, Angular, or .NET is often necessary. Excellent communication, adaptability, and time management skills help a candidate quickly integrate into teams and contribute effectively to short-term projects. These competencies ensure a Temporary Software Engineer can deliver high-quality results within limited timelines and dynamic work environments.

What types of projects are temporary software engineers typically assigned to, and how do these assignments differ from permanent roles?

Temporary Software Engineers are usually brought on to support specific short-term projects, address skill gaps, or help meet approaching deadlines. They may work on software module development, bug fixes, system migrations, or assisting during peak workload periods. Unlike permanent staff, their assignments are often well-defined with clear objectives and limited durations, which means they are expected to quickly understand project requirements and make immediate contributions. Temporary roles can provide valuable exposure to diverse technologies and work environments, making them an excellent opportunity for broadening experience and building a professional network.

Job description

Associate Developer I ( Temp- Hire)
at Tevora
Irvine, CA 
 
If you haven't heard of Tevora, it's because we've done our job!
Tevora is a tight-knit community of professionals with a shared passion for our craft. Every day, we combine in-depth knowledge of cybersecurity, technology, and compliance to help create more secure digital environments. To Tevorans, every problem is a puzzle in need of solving. We strongly believe that if we put smart, driven people in a room together, they will accomplish great things. We maintain a supportive culture that celebrates continuous learning, diverse perspectives, and sharing the wins. That's why we have our eyes on you.
 
What's the role?
Tevora is seeking a Developer to join our internal product engineering team on a temporary-to-hire basis. You'll work directly under the leadership of our senior developer, contributing to Atlas - Tevora's AI-enabled compliance engagement platform - and other internal tooling that powers how we deliver for clients.  

You'll start in a temporary engagement, with a clear path to full-time conversion based on performance and fit.

Atlas is a modern TypeScript / Next.js application: it manages compliance engagements across frameworks like SOC 2,    ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, with role-based workflows for both internal Tevora teams and external clients, document automation, and LLM- assisted features throughout. 

This is a hands-on role for a developer who is fluent in modern AI-assisted development workflows and excited to build alongside an experienced engineer on a real, production product.

A day in the life could include:
  • Build, test, and ship features across the Atlas stack - Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Prisma/PostgreSQL, Tailwind + shadcn/ui - under the guidance of our senior developer
  • Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor) as a core part of your daily workflow
  • Work with Claude Opus and Fable models to accelerate development, debugging, and prototyping
  • Integrate and iterate on LLM-powered features and internal automations
  • Translate compliance and product requirements into clean, maintainable, well-typed code
  • Participate in code reviews, learn our stack and conventions (RBAC, activity logging, unified service layers), and grow your craft quickly
  • Help document and improve internal development practices
Necessary skills and qualifications:
  • 2-3 years of software development experience, or equivalent demonstrated project work
  • Hands-on experience with Claude Code and Cursor in a real development context
  • Working knowledge of TypeScript and a modern React framework (Next.js strongly preferred)
  • Experience building automations, agent skills, and workflow tooling
  • Comfort with relational data and an ORM (we use Prisma + PostgreSQL)
  • Practical familiarity working with Claude Opus and Sonnet models (prompting, iterating, integrating outputs)
  • Self-starter mentality - someone who likes to tinker and learn on their own
  • Ability to take direction, ask good questions, and incorporate feedback
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience / Military equivalent)
  • Recent graduates with strong, demonstrable AI-assisted development work are encouraged to apply
 
Bonus Points:
  • Exposure to compliance, security, or SaaS product environments
  • Experience integrating LLM APIs into applications (e.g. Anthropic, Google GenAI)
  • Familiarity with our broader toolset: AWS (S3, Lambda, SES, SQS), Tailwind CSS / Radix / shadcn/ui, TanStack Query, Zod, Vitest/Playwright
  • Experience with authentication and enterprise SSO (SAML, Okta, JWT)
  • Comfort with Git and conventional commit / CI workflows
We've got you covered!
  • Comprehensive benefits offering
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • 401k with Company match
  • Vibrant work culture
  • Growth Opportunity
Additional requirements:
 
  • Eligibility to work in the United States.
$45 - $58 an hour
