Intermediate Software Engineer in Calgary

Engineering @ Alta ML - How We Work

• We are an AI-first company.

Claude Code and Alta ML's shared configuration and skills library are the default way engineers design, build, test, and review software, not an optional accelerant a few people use.

• We expect dramatically higher productivity from working this way.

A step change, not a marginal gain.

That's the baseline we hire and promote against, not an aspirational ceiling.

• We believe AI has compressed what used to take weeks into days, and what used to take days into hours.

Estimates, sprint commitments, and delivery timelines should reflect that reality, not pre-AI habits.

• Show us, don't tell us.

As part of applying, share an example of your AI-assisted coding: a PR, a repo, a recorded session, or whatever best demonstrates how you actually work with AI day to day.

• We overpay for the right people. We'd rather pay a premium for an engineer who embodies this and multiplies the team than save money on someone who doesn't

Intermediate Software Engineer independently owns and delivers well-defined, small-to-medium complexity user stories end to end.

You work AI-first by default: using Claude Code and Alta ML's shared skills library as your everyday workflow, not a novelty.

And, you're building the judgment to take on increasingly novel problems without close supervision.

What You'll Do

• Feature Implementation & Bug Fixes (:65%)
• Serve as the main contributor for small-to-medium complexity stories, including work that introduces patterns new to Alta ML/Alta Forge.
• Use Claude Code and Alta ML's shared CLAUDE. md/skills library as your default workflow for design, implementation, and review
• Testing & Documentation (:15%)
• Write comprehensive automated tests and clear documentation for novel code, ensuring long-term stability.
• Code Review Participation (:10%)
• Give constructive feedback that measurably improves the quality of peers' contributions.
• Learning & Collaboration (:10%)
• Build strong fluency in Alta ML/Alta Forge libraries and platforms and make sound technical choices independently.

What You Bring

• 2-4 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Daily, hands-on comfort with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code or equivalent) as a core part of how you work - or you pick one up fast.
• Strong fundamentals in testing, Git, and at least one of Python, Type Script, or C#.
• Experience with a cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP) is a plus.
• Familiarity with LLM-based application development (Lang Chain, vector databases, LLM APIs) is a plus.

Nice to Have's

• Experience contributing to a shared component or config library.
• Exposure to agentic workflows or Gen AI product development.
• What Success Looks Like
• Independent
• Feature

Velocity: Consistently owns and delivers small-to-medium complexity stories end to end with a fast, predictable cycle time - keeping delivery cost per story down.

• AI-Accelerated Delivery: Visible, everyday use of AI-first workflows that meaningfully compresses cycle time - the weeks-to-days, days-to-hours shift we expect at every level.
• Reusable

Contribution: Regularly contributes novel code patterns or components that become candidates for shared libraries or Alta Forge - supporting the Alta Forge Clients and Same-Agent-Across-Clients north stars.

• Technical Autonomy: Resolves the large majority of technical blockers independently, without routinely escalating to senior engineers.
• Peer Quality Enhancement: Code review feedback that noticeably improves the quality of peers' work.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information.

These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment.

Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
