About this Software Development Engineer I role at Clearwater Analytics

Clearwater Analytics · Onsite · Office - Seattle

Job Summary: 

Clearwater Analytics is building its Generative AI engineering team, and this role sits at the center of that effort. You will design, implement, and ship LLM-powered agent tools, MCP integrations, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that are already in production use and you will do it using AI-assisted development tools, including Claude Code, as a core part of your daily workflow. This is not exploratory AI work , it is applied engineering on real systems serving institutional investors globally. Fluency with coding assistants is not a perk here; it is a job requirement.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain LLM agent pipelines, MCP integrations, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems using Python (FastAPI, LangChain) and TypeScript/React.

  • Use AI-assisted development tools, including Claude Code, as a primary part of your engineering workflow for code generation, debugging, and iteration.

  • Collaborate with team members to optimize and improve existing AI-powered software applications.

  • Participate actively in code reviews, giving and receiving clear, constructive feedback.

  • Perform root-cause analyses for software issues and identify effective solutions.

  • Translate loosely defined requirements into functioning, production-ready code.

  • Assist in the creation of user stories and estimation of work for project planning.

  • Suggest design improvements demonstrating a solid understanding of system architecture.

  • Ensure software applications are scalable, reliable, and secure.

  • Document software usage, implementation, architecture, design, and APIs.

  • Write broad unit and integration tests consistently.

Required Skills

  • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools, Claude Code specifically ,as a daily engineering practice, not an occasional experiment.

  • Hands-on experience building LLM agent tools, agentic workflows, MCP integrations, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems in a production environment.

  • Production proficiency in Python 3.11 (FastAPI, LangChain) and TypeScript/React , these are the core languages of this role. Java-only backgrounds are not a fit.

  • Solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design.

  • Enthusiasm for building in a fast-moving, AI-native SaaS environment.

  • Strong teamwork and communication skills , written and verbal.

  • Ability to manage own time and deliver results on time.

  • Commitment to continuous learning and improvement.

  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities.

  • Strong attention to detail and documentation skills.

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.

  • 2+ years of production software development experience

  • At least 1 year of hands-on experience with LLM, agentic, or AI/ML systems in a production or near-production environment.

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary and Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.

  • Access to cutting-edge AI tools and infrastructure as part of your day-to-day work.

  • A collaborative, high-trust engineering culture that values craft, speed, and continuous learning.
