Vue Js Developer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The AI Product Software Engineer (Laravel / Vue) is responsible for designing, building, shipping, and continuously improving production software that supports Stanbridge University's digital ecosystem, including its Learning Management System and related institutional platforms.

This is not a traditional web development role. We are seeking an AI-first product engineer who uses modern AI tools as a core part of the software development lifecycle to rapidly design, prototype, generate, validate, refine, and deliver production-ready applications.

Working primarily with Laravel (PHP 8.x) and Vue.js (Vue 3), this role transforms business needs and product ideas into intuitive, scalable, secure, and maintainable software.

The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering fundamentals with an AI-first development mindset and a keen eye for UX/UI. They understand that exceptional software is not measured only by clean code, but also by usability, thoughtful design, accessibility, operational value, and measurable impact.

Success in this role is measured by the quality of the software delivered, the business problems solved, the user experiences created, and the continuous improvement of how software is designed and built.

• Review AI-generated code for security vulnerabilities, architectural inconsistencies, performance issues, and maintainability risks.
• Apply secure coding practices aligned with OWASP recommendations.
• Implement appropriate input validation, authorization, authentication, dependency management, and secure handling of sensitive information.
• Follow university data-handling policies and FERPA requirements when developing software and using AI-assisted engineering tools.
• Contribute to logging, monitoring, observability, incident response, and preventative reliability improvements.
• Build responsive and accessible interfaces aligned with WCAG 2.2 AA standards.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to simplify, automate, and improve institutional workflows through software.
• Improve engineering velocity through reusable code, automation, documentation, AI-assisted workflows, and standardized development practices.
• Create shared engineering assets that reduce repetitive work and accelerate future development.
• Contribute ideas that improve developer productivity, product quality, user experience, and operational efficiency.
• Stay current with emerging AI tools, development practices, software frameworks, and product-engineering methods.
• Share knowledge through collaboration, documentation, code review, and technical mentoring.
• Help foster an engineering culture centered on innovation, craftsmanship, accountability, curiosity, and reliable delivery.
