What this job asks for AI summary
A mortgage lending subsidiary of Mutual of Omaha is hiring a software engineer to design, build, and maintain AI-driven services and agentic workflows — including multi-step agents, tool-use loops, and orchestration pipelines. The role spans full-stack development (Python back end, React/TypeScript front end) and hands-on integration with Anthropic's Claude API, along with owning DevOps, testing, and observability for AI-backed production systems. Best suited to a mid-level engineer who is equally comfortable with software engineering discipline and the unique challenges of non-deterministic AI systems.

Why we read it this way (8)
The posting explicitly calls out 'Must-have: Hands on experience with Anthropic SDK/API and Claude Console' — this is the most distinctive hard gate in the role.
Flask and Django are listed together as interchangeable options for the 2+ years Python framework requirement; Flask is used as the primary name with Django as an alternative.
MySQL, MSSQL, and Postgres are listed as examples of acceptable relational databases; MySQL is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
AWS and Azure appear together under DevOps exposure in the requirements section; treated as interchangeable cloud platform options.
pytest and jest appear under 'Familiarity with testing libraries' and LLM eval frameworks are explicitly called 'a plus' — both are listed as preferred.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree... or equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The role is hybrid in Irvine, CA, which falls within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim CBSA (31080). Irvine does not have its own CBSA.
The title carries no seniority level word; the 2+ years experience requirement and scope of responsibilities align with a mid-level engineer.
