Engineering @ BiblioCommons
Our engineering team puts the patron first by building user-friendly, accessible and scalable solutions that equip libraries to leverage best-in-class technology practices to serve their diverse communities.
We’re a highly collaborative team that applies innovative solutions to challenging problems.

We’re also committed to doing things right and always looking for ways to do them better. We take the time to optimize and redesign systems to ensure they are robust and scalable.
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer on our BiblioCore team to build new and existing platforms that will help millions of library users discover more physical and digital content. This is an exciting opportunity to design and implement challenging scalable and resilient systems, while being a technical leader and a mentor to the team. This role will also enable exercising leadership skills by leading projects, collaborating with multiple teams and making an impact on the growth of the business. The ideal candidate will embrace AI-first development practices: working with coding agents through spec-driven development, weaving agentic workflows into the software development lifecycle, and helping the broader team move faster and build smarter.
You will enjoy and be successful in this role if you are:
Great at debugging distributed systems
Not afraid to step out of your comfort zone and dive deep
Accountable and take ownership of your work
Awesome at teaching others your skills
Excited to accelerate the adoption of AI-enabled development, not just using AI tools yourself, but also helping establish the workflows and habits to enable the team to use them well
Experienced in directing coding agents with clear, well-scoped specs, and convinced that the quality of the spec drives the quality of the output
Delivery focused and giving your best effort all the time
Creative and enjoys brainstorming ideas with others to come up with the right solution
Supportive and enjoys working as part of a team
Passionate to self-improve
Never content with the status quo. You are always looking to automate, improve processes, and follow best practices
How you will make an impact:
Build new platforms and improve existing systems to enable millions of users to discover and consume relevant library content
Integrate and work with third-party API solutions to augment BiblioCore functionality
Champion AI-first development practices across the team, including the safe, effective integration of AI into our products and workflows, and helping establish the standards and judgment that ensure we move fast without sacrificing quality
Practice spec-driven development with coding agents: turning requirements into clear, testable specifications that agents can execute against, and reviewing agent output with a senior engineer's judgment
Design and champion agentic workflows across the SDLC, applying AI agents to planning, coding, code review, testing, documentation, and operations, and helping the team adopt the ones that prove their value
Use AI coding assistants and coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Amazon Q, Copilot, or similar LLM-powered tools) to streamline workflows, generate high-quality code, and enhance productivity
Guide the technical direction for technical initiatives to account for scalability, resiliency, quality and security of BiblioCore
Take ownership for the design, development, and operationalization of features and systems
Tackle tech debt at the right times for faster feature delivery
Troubleshoot and perform root cause analysis on systemic issues
Participate in code review and best practice discussions
Be a mentor to Junior and Intermediate Engineers
What you will bring to the team:
7+ years of professional backend software development experience
Proven experience with: Spring, Maven/Gradle and related Java technologies
Strong theoretical foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering best practices
Demonstrated experience with AI-enabled development, including hands-on use of coding agents and AI coding tools, and helping teams adopt modern AI-assisted workflows
Experience with spec-driven development using coding agents: writing specifications that guide agents to correct, maintainable code, and iterating on specs rather than hand-editing agent output
Familiarity or hands-on experience with agentic workflows in the SDLC, such as agent-assisted code review, automated test generation, agent-driven refactoring, or AI-supported incident analysis
Extensive experience building RESTful API applications and consuming third-party API integrations
Experience debugging and optimizing large-scale, multi-threaded systems
Have a mindset for end to end ownership of services
