Senior Software Engineer

We're looking for an engineer who is into AI coding tools

If you're using Claude Code or Cursor to 10x your output, building real AWS architectures (not just gluing services together), and you're tired of enterprise bureaucracy - keep reading.

Objective Arts - 23-year Chicago behavioral health analytics company. Small team. Real impact. No corporate nonsense.

The Stack

Claude Code

Java and Spring (all the flavors - Boot, Security, Data, Cloud)

AWS architecture - we mean real architecture decisions, not just "deploy to EC2"

Angular on the frontend

The Real Requirements

You use AI coding assistants, particularly Claude Code

You understand AWS at an architectural level—design patterns, trade-offs, and when NOT to use certain services. You use the CDK, for example.

You can context-switch between deep coding sessions and explaining "why the API is slow" to someone who doesn't know what an API is

You're allergic to corporate waste and love shipping actual working software

What You Won't Find Here

Scrum masters

Two-week sprint planning ceremonies

Layers of approval for a three-line code change

"That's not in the roadmap" as a conversation ender

Engineers who've never talked to a customer

What You Will Find

Direct impact - your code helps people recover from addiction and mental health challenges

Autonomy - we trust you to solve problems, not follow tickets

Modern tools - whatever makes you productive (Claude Code in particular)

Customer context - you'll actually understand why you're building what you're building

Compensation

$125K+ depending on experience

Education and certification bonuses

Benefits package

The Dealbreakers

Remote-friendly (US-based); Chicago area a plus

Full-time W-2 only (no contractors, no C2C, no staffing agencies)

Comfortable with customer interaction 4-6 hours/week (if this terrifies you, this isn't your role)

7+ years of real engineering experience (we're not training juniors)

The Honest Truth

If you're a senior engineer who's bored at BigCorp, tired of building features nobody uses, and curious about what it's like when customers actually talk to you about what you built - let's talk.
