Senior Software Engineer

Huxley is currently looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a small sized Chicago based company.

This role is a blend of building new features and improving what already exists. You'll spend time designing and shipping new functionality, but a significant portion is focused on modernizing a well-established codebase, making it faster, cleaner, and easier to maintain. If you enjoy turning legacy systems into something you're proud of, you'll thrive here; if you're only interested in brand-new projects, it may not be the best fit. The position includes 1-2 days per week in-office in Chicago.

Tech Stack

• Claude Code (used daily)
• Java (backend)
• Angular (frontend)
• AWS

What We're Looking For

• Regular use of AI coding tools, especially Claude Code
• Strong communication skills-you'll spend ~4-6 hours per week talking with customers
• Ability to shift between deep focus coding and customer conversations without losing momentum
• Interest in modernization work and improving existing systems
• A bias toward delivering real, working software rather than just discussing ideas

This role requires you to be a US Citizen or GC Holder.

Let me know if this sounds like a fit and something you are interested in!
