Our clients range from startups to large non-profits to Fortune 500 companies. We work primarily with mission-driven organizations and long-lived platforms where quality, clarity, and maintainability matter.\nWe're a distributed engineering team that values autonomy, strong communication, and engineers who take real ownership — not just of code, but of outcomes.\nRole Overview\nWe're looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) who can own work end-to-end — from early discovery and estimation through delivery and iteration. This is a senior role with real responsibility: technical leadership, client interaction, and project ownership are core to the job.\nYou'll work directly with clients, project managers, designers, and other engineers. You're expected to lead projects, delegate effectively, make good technical calls, and communicate clearly when things are on track — and especially when they aren't.\nThis role also assumes comfort using AI agents as part of a modern engineering workflow.\nHow We Use AI at Zivtech\nWe treat AI as a force multiplier, not a shortcut and not a replacement for good engineering judgment.\nSenior engineers at Zivtech are expected to use AI tools and agent-based workflows as part of their day-to-day work, including:\nFirst-pass implementation, research, and technical exploration\nAccelerating code reviews, documentation, and test generation\nHelping break down work into tickets, acceptance criteria, and estimates\nImproving consistency across projects through shared prompts, standards, and workflows\nWe value engineers who know:\nWhen AI output is good enough — and when it needs to be challenged\nHow to guide AI toward maintainable, secure, and performant solutions\nThat ownership and accountability still sit firmly with the human\nIf you already use AI this way — or want to — you'll fit in well here.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn projects from start to finish — requirements, architecture, implementation, delivery, and post-launch support\nServe as a technical lead and primary engineering contact for clients\nCommunicate clearly with clients and internal teams, translating business needs into technical decisions\nBreak down complex work and delegate effectively to other engineers\nUse AI agents and AI-assisted workflows to increase leverage and delivery velocity\nSupport sales, architects, and leadership with discovery, estimates, and technical direction\nWork on the critical path to ensure projects ship on time and within scope\nWrite high-quality front-end and back-end code\nPerform code reviews and help set engineering standards\nMentor other engineers through feedback, pairing, and review\nIdentify technical and delivery risks early — and surface them clearly\nPartner with project managers to manage scope, timelines, and budgets\n\nRequired Skills and Experience\n5+ years building and shipping production web applications\nDemonstrated ability to lead projects and own outcomes\nStrong full-stack experience — front-end and back-end\nProfessional experience with React or another modern JavaScript framework\nSolid PHP experience, including OOP and common design patterns\nDeep experience with Drupal (8/9/10) — custom modules, theming, site building\nExperience with Drupal migrations\nStrong Git fundamentals and modern development workflows\nExperience integrating with external APIs and third-party systems\nComfort with SQL and database-backed applications\nCommand-line fluency and tools like Drush\nStrong communication and listening skills — especially client-facing\nGood judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently\nStrong attention to detail — applicants should include the phrase “Greetings Zivtech Crew” somewhere in their cover letter or application materials\n\nNice to Have\nPrior experience with AI-assisted or agent-based development workflows\nExperience building or maintaining reusable component libraries or design systems\nAcquia Drupal certifications\nAgency or consulting background\nExperience mentoring junior or mid-level engineers\nIf this sounds like the kind of role where you'd do your best work — owning problems, leading projects, working directly with clients, and using modern tools responsibly — please send us your resume, cover letter, and salary requirements.","company":"Zivtech","rawCompany":"zivtech","city":"Remote","state":"OR","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-08-03T14:08:21.898Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"15-1254.00","title":"Web Developers","slug":"web-developers"},{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"}],"industries":[{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack)","description":"About Zivtech\nZivtech is a Philadelphia-based technology services firm that designs and builds thoughtful, durable web products.
