About the role

Role overview
As a Senior Software Engineer at Huron, you will lead the design, development, and delivery of enterprise
software products built on the Huron platform. You will apply deep engineering expertise to build scalable, AI-
augmented applications, mentor engineers, and partner closely with Product, Implementation, and Support
teams within Huron's Higher Education practice.
Primary responsibilities
Architecture and technical leadership
 Lead design reviews, and drive technical decisions on scalability, reliability, and
maintainability.
 Translate product requirements into clean, well-tested implementations; author
architecture decision records (ADRs) and developer documentation.
 Define and govern engineering quality standards, coding conventions, and peer review
norms across the team.
AI-assisted and agentic development
 AI-assisted development: Leverage GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and comparable
agentic coding assistants across code authoring, review, test generation, and
documentation to increase quality and velocity.
 AI agent development: Design, build, and maintain AI agents and multi-agent workflows;
define agent instructions, skills, memory, and tool integrations; evaluate agent behavior in
production.
 MCP and tool integrations: Apply Model Context Protocol (MCP) or equivalent patterns to
connect AI models to internal tools, APIs, and data sources for agentic workflows.
 Stay current with the agentic AI landscape; bring forward-looking proposals to the
engineering team.

Full-stack development and collaboration
 Build high-quality client-side and server-side code using modern frameworks; design
RESTful APIs (OpenAPI standard); develop microservices on Azure or AWS.
 Write and execute comprehensive unit and integration test cases; troubleshoot
deployment and environment issues across multiple projects.
 Mentor engineers, lead code reviews, and contribute actively to sprint ceremonies in a
globally distributed Agile team.

Required qualifications
Core
 Bachelor’s in computer science or related field (or equivalent experience); 6+ years of
progressive software development experience on a commercial product.

CloudWatch, and related cloud-native tooling.

AI and agentic development tools
 Hands-on use of GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor to write, refactor, and review
production code; ability to craft effective prompts and system instructions.
 Solid understanding of AI agents, skills, and tool-calling; ability to configure and evaluate
agentic workflows for multi-step development tasks.
 Working knowledge of an LLM API or agent orchestration framework (Anthropic API,
OpenAI API, LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or similar) is a strong plus.

Preferred qualifications
