Who We Are
Neighborly Software was built to help communities make a difference in the lives of low-income families and vulnerable populations. Our mission is simple, "Helping Communities, Help People."

Headquartered in Atlanta, GA we offer a cloud-based technology platform for the administration and disbursement of governments funds for programs such as Housing, Economic, Community Development, Disaster Recovery/MIT, Home Energy Rebate Programs, and Housing Choice Voucher programs.

We are looking for a hands-on Staff Engineer to set the technical direction for our next-generation, enterprise platform. As one of our most senior individual contributors, you will architect and build cloud-native solutions, raise the bar on engineering quality across teams, and lead how we adopt AI throughout the software development lifecycle. We are a Claude shop - we build with Anthropic's Claude and Claude Code every day - and we're looking for an engineer who is excited to help us do that responsibly and at scale. If you have the passion and experience to explore cutting-edge cloud solutions, service-oriented architecture, APIs, Data/Analytics, and AI-assisted engineering - this is an opportunity for you.

Responsibilities:

o Own the architecture and technical roadmap for major areas of the platform, ensuring solutions are enterprise-scalable, secure, and maintainable

o Set the standard for how the team uses AI in software engineering - driving effective, responsible use of Claude and Claude Code for design, coding, code review, testing, and documentation

o Establish patterns, guardrails, and best practices for AI-assisted development (prompting/context strategies, code-generation review, evaluations, and guarding against insecure or low-quality AI output)

o Design and develop cloud-native, service-oriented solutions using Azure services, APIs, and modern frameworks

o Partner with Product Managers, engineering scrum teams, Client Operations, and Sales to deliver high-impact features

o Define coding standards, lead code reviews, and champion continuous improvement of platform reliability, scalability, and security

o Drive research, case studies, and prototypes on emerging technologies - including AI/LLM capabilities - and show how they can be leveraged for the business

o Lead proofs-of-concept in collaboration with development teams and shepherd promising ones to production

o Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and coaching to engineers across the organization, raising the overall level of engineering excellence

o Ensure software meets all requirements for quality, security, modifiability, extensibility, and compliance
