Software Developer (AI & Agentic Systems)

Overview

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Full Stack Developer who will build and ship LucidGrowth's products from the ground up. You will own full-stack features — from clean, responsive frontends to robust backend services — and work deeply with AI tooling as a core part of your daily workflow.
Claude is not a side tool here. You will use it daily — to write, review, debug, refactor, and secure code. You'll also build systems that put Claude to work autonomously through multi-agent pipelines.
If you love building with the MERN stack, are excited by AI-native development, and want your work to matter from day one — you belong here.

What You Will Work On

• Build and ship full-stack features across LucidGrowth's SaaS product suite — React frontends, Node.js/Express backends, MongoDB data layers.
• Use Claude actively and daily for coding, code review, debugging, bug fixes, security patches, refactoring, and feature development — you will be expected to use it fluently and intelligently.
• Build and maintain multi-agent AI pipelines using frameworks like Ruflo / Claude-Flow, LangGraph, AutoGen, or CrewAI — orchestrating specialized agents to handle complex, multi-step workflows autonomously.
• Integrate Claude APIs (tool use, function calling, streaming, system prompts, MCP) as the intelligence layer within our products.
• Design and implement prompt engineering strategies, context management pipelines, and memory architectures powering LucidGrowth's AI features.
• Work on RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems that give agents access to relevant, up-to-date information.
• Connect AI capabilities to real data sources, third-party APIs, and user workflows via clean REST/async backend services.
• Evaluate and improve AI system reliability — identifying failure modes, tuning outputs for consistency and accuracy.
• Collaborate closely with the product team to translate ideas into working software quickly.

Required Skills & Qualifications
Full Stack (Core — Must Have)

• 1–3 years of professional or strong project-based software development experience.
• Strong, demonstrable proficiency in the MERN Stack: MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js — this is non-negotiable.
• TypeScript — you write typed code by default, not as an afterthought.
• Comfortable building and consuming REST APIs, managing async flows, and working with JSON-based third-party integrations.
• Solid understanding of component architecture, state management, and responsive UI development.
• Solid working knowledge of both SQL and NoSQL databases for persisting application state, agent memory, and conversation history.

AI & Agentic Development (Core — Must Have)

• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, etc.) — prompt design, tool use, streaming responses.
• Practical understanding of AI Agent concepts: ReAct loops, chain-of-thought reasoning, tool/function calling, memory, and planning.
• Hands-on experience with Ruflo/Claude-Flow, LangGraph, and AutoGen — all three are must-haves. You should be comfortable orchestrating agents in coordinated swarms, managing multi-step workflows, and working with hive-mind topologies.
• Experience using Claude (or similar LLMs) for code generation, review, debugging, security patching, and refactoring — not just casual use, but as a core development practice.

Good to Have

• Rust — even basic exposure is a plus; we're exploring Rust for performance-critical backend services and WASM integrations.
• Experience specifically with Anthropic's Claude (API, tool use, system prompts, Claude Code, MCP integration).
• Knowledge of vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB) and RAG architectures.
• Familiarity with Claude-Flow / Ruflo swarm initialization, agent spawning, hive-mind topologies, and distributed task orchestration is already covered in the core requirements above.
• Exposure to workflow orchestration tools (n8n, LangChain, etc.).
• Experience with async programming, event-driven architectures, or background job systems.
• Prior work on SaaS products, chatbots, copilots, or autonomous agent systems.

Mindset & Soft Skills We Value

• Builder mentality — you ship things, not just plan them.
• AI-native mindset — you embrace AI tooling as a multiplier, not a shortcut.
• Product awareness — you care about what users experience, not just what the code does.
• Fast learner who keeps pace with a rapidly changing AI landscape.
• Strong problem-solving instincts and comfort operating in ambiguity.
• Clear communicator — both in code and in conversation.
• Genuine excitement about AI, agents, and what's possible when software can think and act.

Why Join LucidGrowth

• Work directly on LucidGrowth products — your code goes into tools real users rely on every day.
• Use and build with Claude by Anthropic from day one — one of the most capable AI systems available.
• Be part of a small, high-ownership team where your contributions visibly shape the product.
• Rapid growth in one of the most exciting areas of software — AI-powered SaaS and agentic systems.
• Collaborative, no-bureaucracy culture with room to experiment and learn fast.
