As a Staff Software Engineer in AI on the Agents for Good team, you'll help build Blackbaud's agentic products and the frameworks that power them.

- Build and ship features for Blackbaud's AI agents (e.g., Development Agent, Data Health Agent) and the shared agent framework used to create new agents
- Design, build, and maintain scalable, well-tested code across the stack
- Apply AI-native development practices using tools like Claude Code to move through the Build phase of Blackbaud's AI-native PDLC (Plan, Code, Verify) and help refine those practices for the team
- Partner with Senior and Principal engineers to translate product requirements into technical designs
- Write and maintain automated tests, and participate actively in code review
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues in existing agent features and services
- Contribute to internal documentation and onboarding materials for the AFG framework
- Continuously learn and apply emerging AI/LLM techniques to your work
What we'll want you to have:
- 2+ years of software engineering experience
- Working knowledge of .NET Core, C#, and modern web technologies
- Experience with Angular, JavaScript/TypeScript, CSS, and HTML
- Exposure to building or integrating LLM-powered features (prompting, RAG, agent orchestration) is a plus
- Comfort using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) as part of your daily workflow, or strong interest in adopting them
- Familiarity with RESTful API development and cloud platforms (Azure preferred)
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative, growth-oriented mindset
