LightLeap AI, an N2N Services company · [Atlanta, GA] · Full-time ·
Most engineering jobs hand you a ticket. This one hands you a seed. An idea. A customer problem. A half-formed sentence in a meeting. Then you go build it — architecture, code, tests, deploy, the thing nobody wants to own at the end. You don't wait for a spec. You don't stop at the edge of your component. You don't need a Thursday standup to stay in motion.
That is the whole job.
Why this role exists
We serve 500+ colleges and universities. Their systems are old, their data is messy, and their students' financial aid depends on our software working.
In the last 6 months, we shipped five million lines of AI-assisted code and gutted a product we spent a decade building.
The routine code is written by the machine now. What's scarce is the person who knows what to point it at, and who finishes.
What you'll do
● Own a workstream end-to-end — you are done when the customer has it, not when your part compiles
● Work in one of five seats: Platform, Powertrain, Harness, Service, Program. You'll be strongest in one and dangerous in two
● Ship with AI as your primary tool. Not as an experiment. As how you work
● Own your own quality. There is no separate review stage to hide behind at this velocity — FERPA, accessibility, security, and cost are yours
● Stop the line when something is wrong. Anyone here can, and we mean it
What we're looking for
● 5+ years building production software. Higher ed, SIS, ERP, or integration experience is a strong advantage
● Fluency across the stack — APIs, data, identity, middleware, infrastructure. Depth somewhere, competence everywhere
● Daily hands-on use of AI coding tools, with opinions about where they fail
● Evidence you finish things. Not started, not scoped. Shipped
● Comfort with direct conversations. “This isn't ready” is a normal sentence here
What we're not looking for
People who need the next task handed to them. People who stop at the boundary of their ticket. People whose contribution is an opinion.
If your instinct when you hit something unowned is to raise it in the next standup, this will be a bad fit for both of us.
