CentralReach's Applications team i s a cross-functional group that rapidly builds, validates, and scales new product capabilities. The Software Engineer, Applications is a hands-on builder who helps shape the product — working from design through evaluation to production and partnering closely with product builders, Product Organization leaders, and subject matter experts to turn customer problems into reliable features .

This role spans the full lifecycle, from early prototypes through production hardening and scale, and treats modern AI-assisted development tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, agentic coding workflows) as a force multiplier, not a replacement for engineering judgment. The ideal candidate is a natural collaborator and problem solver with high curiosity who thrives in a data-driven environment.

• Define and champion best practices for AI-assisted development: prompt and context strategies for coding agents, code review standards for AI-generated code, and guardrails that keep velocity high without sacrificing quality or security
