Job Title: Senior AI Software Engineer – Java
Location: Remote (U.S.)
Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099)
About the Opportunity
ZipStaff is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build production Java services with AI-assisted engineering at a healthcare analytics and payment-integrity organization.
You will ship Spring Boot APIs and microservices, review AI-generated code, and integrate with workflow orchestration. This is a backend seat that uses Claude or Copilot every day — not a prompt-engineer role and not a Java role with no AI workflow.
What You’ll Do:
- Build and enhance production Java / Spring Boot services, APIs, and microservices.
- Use Claude, Copilot, or a similar tool for coding, testing, debugging, and documentation.
- Review AI-generated code for correctness, performance, security, and maintainability.
- Integrate services with workflow orchestration (Temporal, Camunda, or equivalent) for routing and decision support.
- Deliver features with the tech lead and data teams, and take production issues.
- Contribute to CI/CD, DevSecOps, and cloud-native deployments on OpenShift, Kubernetes, or AWS.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years professional backend or enterprise software engineering.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Java, Spring Boot, microservices, REST APIs, and integration patterns, shipped to production.
- Daily use of Claude, Copilot, or a similar AI coding tool, with review of the output.
- SQL and relational databases (PostgreSQL or Oracle), including data modeling and tuning.
- Event-driven or distributed systems, CI/CD, and containers or cloud (OpenShift, Kubernetes, or AWS).
- Exposure to a workflow platform: Temporal, Camunda, Flowable, jBPM, or Drools.
- Agile delivery (SAFe preferred).
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Workflow-driven or decision-automation solutions, especially Temporal.
- Governance practices for AI-assisted development.
- Shared platforms, integration frameworks, or internal developer tools.
- AWS, Azure, or OCI, and Docker.
- Healthcare IT or another regulated environment.
Benefits:
- Health Insurance.
- Dental Insurance.
- Vision Insurance.
- 401(k) + 401(k) matching.
- Paid time off.
- Referral Program.
