Princeton, NJ, United States Hill Research Full-time $80,000 - $100,000

At Hill Research, we are building a SaaS platform for clinical trial statistical programming and reporting. But more importantly — we are building a company where AI powers ~70% of engineering execution.

That means:

  • AI assists with code generation, test scaffolding, refactoring, documentation, and workflow automation
  • Engineers focus on architecture, system design, production reliability, and judgment

We are not looking for someone who occasionally uses AI tools. We’re looking for an engineer who:

  • Designs clean, maintainable backend systems
  • Uses tools like Claude Code / Cursor / Copilot to move faster
  • Can review, debug, and improve AI-generated code with sound engineering judgment
  • Python
  • Django Tenants (multi-tenant SaaS)
  • Redis
  • AWS (S3, Lambda)
  • Docker
  • uv

What You’ll Be Building

  • Multi-tenant SaaS backend systems
  • Workflow-heavy business logic
  • Production-grade reliability and performance
  • AI-integrated backend services

AI-augmented engineering is our default workflow — but engineering fundamentals still matter.

To Apply

DM with:

  • A brief intro
  • Your LinkedIn / GitHub
  • A short note on how you use AI tools in your development workflow
