Software Engineer

Deltek is the recognized global standard for project-based businesses, delivering software and information solutions to help organizations achieve their purpose. The Software Engineer will be responsible for feature development, AI integration, and DevOps fundamentals, focusing on building and maintaining APIs, developing portal features, and collaborating with senior engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain Fast API endpoints across services (control-plane, catalog-service, ai-enhancement-service)
• Develop React/Next.js portal features: product registration flows, deployment status UIs, credential and configuration modals
• Write Pydantic schemas and SQL Alchemy models for new features, author Alembic migration files for schema changes
• Integrate Anthropic/OpenAI API calls into enhancement pipelines (description generation, endpoint scoring, embedding generation)
• Write unit and integration tests with pytest; maintain code quality with Black, Flake8, and Mypy; maintain ≥80% coverage target
• Implement Lang Chain or Lang Graph-based chains for structured tasks such as Open API spec extraction, tool summarization, and description enrichment
• Work with prompt templates, few-shot examples, and structured output parsing
• Assist in extending MCP server generation from Open API specs — parsing edge cases, template improvements
• Write and update Docker files; understand multi-stage build
• Debug failing GitHub Actions steps (lint, type-check, test stages)
• Use kubectl basics to inspect pod logs and deployment status in development environments
• Participate in code reviews, giving and receiving constructive feedback
• Write brief design notes for the features you ship
• Pair with senior engineers on complex architectural decisions

Requirements:

• Python with an async web framework (Fast API preferred); comfortable with Pydantic, SQL Alchemy, and async/await patterns
• REST API design fundamentals: HTTP semantics, status codes, auth headers, Open API/Swagger specs
• PostgreSQL: writes queries, understands schema design basics; some exposure to Redis or caching patterns
• Containerization: can write a Docker file, understand docker compose, read basic Kubernetes manifests
• TypeScript and React with functional components and hooks
• Next.js (App Router preferred) or comparable modern React framework
• Familiar with component-driven UI patterns; experience with a design system (Radix UI, Material UI, shadcn/ui, or similar)
• Form handling and validation (React Hook Form + Zod or equivalent)
• Has worked with at least one LLM API (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI); understands prompt construction, token limits, and API rate limiting
• Exposure to Lang Chain, Lang Graph, or a comparable orchestration SDK — even in a personal project or coursework context
• Understands the basics of RAG (retrieval-augmented generation): embedding, chunking, similarity search
• Gething, PRs, and code review etiquette
• Writes unit tests, comfortable with pytest or Jest
• Reads existing code before proposing changes; asks clarifying questions before building
• Writes clear commit messages and PR descriptions
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving codebase with evolving requirements
• Exposure to agent frameworks (Careway, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel)
• Any cloud provider experience (OCI, AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
• Exposure to Open Telemetry or distributed tracing concepts
• Experience with Alembic or database migration tooling
