AI Software Developer

Welcome to Campspot! Whether you are an avid camper, the occasional glamper, an expert RV-er, or new to the outdoors entirely, we're interested in working with you. Our team values diverse perspectives as we seek to create an easy-to-navigate and meaningful camping experience for everyone.

We hope you will consider joining our team! ALL human beings are welcome, and we are committed to helping you thrive here. We believe our team, as well as the outdoors, is for everyone. 

AI FIRST DEVELOPMENT APPROACH

Campspot is building a new AI-native platform that is purpose-built to bring intelligent automation, dynamic tooling, and agentic workflows to our product ecosystem. It is an actively evolving codebase where every feature shipped matters and where AI-assisted development is not a convenience but a core part of how we build.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a skilled software developer to accelerate feature development on the AI platform using Claude Code as their primary AI coding assistant. You will work alongside our core team to scope, build, and ship new capabilities using Claude Code to drive velocity while maintaining code quality, architectural integrity, and security best practices.

Responsibilities:

• Use Claude Code to implement new features and functions within the platform
• Translate product requirements and design specs into clean, production-ready code
• Review and refine AI-generated code to ensure correctness, performance, and maintainability
• Leverage AI to write and update automated tests for all new functionality
• Participate in async code reviews and provide constructive feedback
• Ensure new features, APIs, and architectural decisions are documented as they are built
• Proactively identify technical debt or gaps and surface them to the team

Requirements:

• 3+ years of professional software development experience
• Experience shipping features on fast-moving platforms
• Demonstrated experience working with Claude Code
• Understanding of prompt engineering and context window management
• Prior experience building on top of the Anthropic API or integrating LLMs into production applications
• Familiarity with agentic workflow patterns and tool-use APIs
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React
• Solid understanding of REST APIs, async patterns, and modern web architecture
• Ability to work independently, manage your own time, and hit milestones
• Able to communicate complex technical concepts, lead discussions, and collaborate effectively with stakeholders across all levels.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Base salary: $120-160k
• Competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance options at affordable rates
• 401(k) plan with employer match
• Flexible time off - use it as you need it
• Employee camping credit to encourage getting outdoors and experiencing our product!

This is a remote role, however we are prioritizing candidates in our hiring hubs of Grand Rapids (MI), Denver (CO), and Chicago (IL) who are interested in some in-person collaboration. Secondary consideration may be given to candidates who reside in states where we currently have employees outside of our hubs, including MA, NH, NY, NC, OR, TX, UT, VT, VA, and Canada. Candidates located outside of the locations listed previously are not able to be considered at this time.
