Senior Software Engineer

The Opportunity

This is not your typical Senior Java role.

We’re partnering with MyWave.ai, an AI-first software company working with large enterprise clients across the US and Europe. They’re rethinking how software is built - shifting from engineers writing code, to engineers guiding AI to build it.

If you enjoy designing systems, thinking in architecture, and working at the edge of how AI is changing software engineering, this is a genuinely unique opportunity.

What They’re Looking For

• Strong experience as a Senior Backend Engineer (Java)
• Deep understanding of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOD)
• Ability to identify and improve poor design
• Experience using AI coding tools - Claude specifically

What You’ll Be Doing

• Use AI tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot) to generate production-level Java code
• Guide and refine AI output through strong design thinking and prompting
• Own and improve system design using solid Object-Oriented principles
• Review and uplift code quality across the codebase
• Work in an XP-style environment with AI-driven TDD workflows
• Contribute ideas and help shape new product features

What Makes This Different

• You won’t spend your day writing boilerplate code
• You’ll focus on design, architecture, and guiding AI systems
• You’ll work on real-world AI applications used by enterprise clients
• You’ll be part of a team actively adapting to the future of software development

The Environment

• Fully Remote across Australia and New Zealand
• Small, high-performing engineering team
• Strong focus on productivity, quality, and continuous improvement
