Senior Engineer

Location: Columbus, OH Duration: Full-Time

Role Summary

The AI Software Engineering Lead is a hands-on practitioner responsible for launching and stabilizing a small pilot using Cursor IDE and Claude Code to improve software engineering productivity and quality. Success means moving quickly from experimentation to working patterns, establishing foundations, frameworks, and guardrails, enabling teams to adopt AI safely, and delivering practical playbooks that can be scaled beyond the pilot.

Key Responsibilities

1) Pilot Execution (Hands-on)

Lead and execute a focused pilot using Cursor and Claude Code within active engineering workflows.

Apply AI for code generation, refactoring, testing, reviews, and documentation.

Work closely with TCS and client engineers to demonstrate real, repeatable value.

2) AI Engineering Foundations & Guardrails

Define AI-in-software-engineering standards, usage patterns, and guardrails.

Establish prompting patterns, validation approaches, and responsible-use boundaries.

3) MCP Server Setup & Integration

Set up and configure MCP servers for Claude Code.

Enable secure, context-aware access to code, APIs, and documentation.

Guide teams on when and how MCP should be used.

4) Playbooks & Enablement

Create lightweight playbooks covering setup, best practices, do’s/don’ts, and common workflows.

Conduct working sessions to upskill teams and accelerate self-sufficiency.
