Full-Stack Developer (Java + Angular + Claude-Native)

Job Details Title: Full-Stack Developer (Java + Angular, Claude-Native) Location: San Diego or Remote Compensation: $75,000/year base + performance bonus Reports to: Josh Motto Apply to: [email protected]

Summary

We're hiring a full-stack developer who builds with Claude as their primary development partner. You'll work end-to-end across Angular (TypeScript) frontends and Java/Spring backends, building net-new features and enhancing production systems. This role requires 5+ years of professional programming experience with strong Java and Angular skills.

How to Apply

Send to [email protected]:

• A short note on a real project where Claude (or a comparable agent) materially changed how you built or shipped something.
• Résumé.
• A code sample, GitHub profile, or PR — bonus for prompt-and-iterate trail, not just the final diff.
• Your salary requirement
• *Important: Applications without verifiable hotel or vacation rental industry experience will not be considered. Please name the company, your role, and what you built. AI-generated cover letters that claim hospitality experience without specifics will be disqualified.

About the Role

We're hiring a full-stack developer who builds with Claude, not just uses Claude on the side. You'll be expected to design, ship, and maintain production code across our Java backend and Angular frontend stack — using Claude Code (and the broader Claude ecosystem) as your primary development partner from day one. This is not a "we'll let you try AI tools sometimes" role. Claude is core to how our team writes code, reviews changes, debugs production issues, and reasons about architecture. We're looking for someone who already thinks this way — or is hungry to. You'll split your time between net-new feature development and enhancing existing systems that have been in production for years. Both matter equally.

What You'll Do

• Build new features end-to-end across Angular (TypeScript) frontends and Java/Spring backends, driving each through design, implementation, testing, and deployment with Claude as your collaborator.
• Enhance, refactor, and harden existing production systems — reading legacy code carefully, understanding the why behind it, and making surgical improvements rather than rewrites.
• Write effective prompts and use Claude Code's agent, plan, and skill features to plan multi-file changes, run code reviews, draft tests, and verify behavior before merging.
• Pair with Claude on debugging — production logs, stack traces, schema mismatches, performance issues — and document what was learned so the team (and the agents) get smarter over time.
• Participate in code review (human and AI-assisted), ship clean commits, and own your changes through deployment.
• Contribute to internal tooling, agent definitions, and prompt patterns that make the whole team faster.

Required Qualifications

• 5 years of professional programming experience building and shipping production software.
• Strong working knowledge of Java (Spring Boot or comparable framework, JPA/Hibernate, REST APIs).
• Strong working knowledge of Angular (any modern version — TypeScript, RxJS, component architecture, forms, HTTP, state).
• Comfort with SQL and relational databases (MySQL, Postgres, or similar).
• Solid Git fundamentals — branching, rebasing, clean commits, PR hygiene.
• Demonstrated experience using Claude, Claude Code, or a comparable AI coding agent as a daily driver — able to discuss prompting style, when to trust output, and how to verify it.
• Strong written communication.
• Hotel, vacation rental, or short-term rental industry experience is required. You must have worked for or built software for a hotel, resort, vacation rental company, property management company, or a vendor serving that space (e.g., Airbnb, VRBO, Guesty, Hostaway, Streamline, Track, RMS, Mews, Cloudbeds, or similar).

Nice to Have

• Experience with WildFly, JBoss, or other Java EE app servers.
• Experience deploying via AWS (Amplify, ECS, RDS/Aurora) or comparable cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with Angular SSR, PrimeNG, or other component libraries.
• Experience writing or maintaining custom Claude agents, slash commands, hooks, or skills.
• Background in vacation rental, hospitality, or property management software.

How We Work

• Claude-first workflow. Engineers use Claude Code daily for planning, coding, reviewing, and debugging.
• Small commits, fast feedback. Multiple ships per day, focused PRs over speculative refactors.
• Read before you write — for both humans and agents.
• No-blame postmortems with agent/runbook updates.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $75,000/year, with performance bonus and room to grow based on output and impact.
• Health and dental benefits.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Anthropic API / Claude subscription fully covered.
• Hardware budget for a development machine.
