Principal Full-Stack Engineer (AI-First)
ZipRecruiter, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, 73116
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionDescription:
Tivly helps more than a million small-business owners each year get the insurance they need—fast. We believe a small, senior team super-charged by AI out-delivers a large org. Cursor, Claude, Copilot, and Blitzy are your everyday co-workers, so you’ll spend far more time shipping code than sitting in meetings.
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
70–80% hands-on coding; zero head-count KPI. We grow output with AI, not people.
Direct access to executives — shape product and architecture without inheriting a hiring budget.
AI at every layer: Blitzy for repo-wide refactors,
Cursor/Claude/Copilot
for the inner loop, CodeRabbit for automated PR reviews. $3,000 annual AI stipend + paid seats for any tool you need. 10% exploration time each sprint to try new agents, write internal posts, or contribute to OSS. WHAT YOU’LL DO Design, build, and ship features across Laravel, PHP/Laravel for front-end and back-end on AWS. Orchestrate large Blitzy runs for sweeping refactors; review and harden the resulting PRs. Establish AI-assisted development standards—prompt patterns, validation gates, automated testing. Drive technical strategy with Product, ensuring we solve the right problems, not just write more lines of code. Automate CI/CD and infrastructure with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform so deployment stays self-service and fast. Requirements: YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU Bring 8+ years of production web experience and have nuanced points of view on various AI coding tools. Default to writing tests even when AI drafts the first pass. Have been an engineering management leader before, but would prefer to focus on technical leadership and individual contribution. Communicate crisply—concise RFCs, Loom walk-throughs, thoughtful code reviews. Stay current on AI research, blogs, and podcasts, and can cite a recent insight that changed your perspective. OUR STACK Front-end: Laravel, React Back-end: PHP/Laravel Data: MySQL DevOps: AWS, Docker Gen-AI: Blitzy, Cursor, Claude Code, CodeRabbit COMPENSATION & PERKS Competitive salary Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) with match 15 paid PTO days per year and company holidays Company-sponsored annual off-site (travel & lodging covered) Remote-first culture with flexible hours across US time zones LOCATION Remote Candidates must currently reside in one of the following states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, or Virginia.
