As a Software Engineer at Modelcode.ai, you will architect infrastructure for AI-driven code modernization, innovate solutions for complex legacy codebases, and lead technical initiatives while working across various technologies and programming languages.
This is a remote position.
Join Modelcode.ai as a Software Engineer: Shape the Future of Code Modernization At Modelcode.ai, we’re on a mission to build the world’s first Autonomous Software Developer, and we need trailblazers to make it happen. If you're not just passionate about writing code but also about fundamentally changing how code is written, maintained, and modernized, this might be the most exciting opportunity of your career.
The role of Software Engineer on our team isn't about incremental improvements or maintaining the status quo. It’s about defining the future: envisioning where the state of the art in code automation will be years from now and building the tools to get us there today.
The Problem We're Tackling Tools like GitHub Copilot and Devin are great for accelerating feature development—but they’re not built for the gnarly, large-scale challenges of modernizing complex legacy codebases.
Think refactoring sprawling repositories, managing web-like dependencies, adhering to company-specific coding styles, and embedding robust tests within the modernization process. Now imagine scaling this to enterprise-grade complexity.
Our approach pushes the boundaries of multi-agent GenAI, creating systems that autonomously handle massive modernization projects—like migrating entire applications to new frameworks or languages. This isn’t about assisting developers; it’s about unleashing systems that take on the heavy lifting of modernization so organizations can focus on what truly matters: innovation.
- Architect the Unthinkable: Build the infrastructure that lets AI tackle code modernization at a scale no one thought possible.
- Invent and Innovate: Work on ambiguous, moonshot problems where no clear solution exists. Rewrite the rules and extend the boundaries of what’s considered possible today.
- Flex Your Full Stack Muscles: Your toolkit will include everything from databases and operating systems to data processing pipelines and distributed systems to figuring out how code works.
- Lead with Authority: Define goals, drive major initiatives, and set the technical direction for the team. You’ll be hands-on in design and code reviews while steering the big picture.
- Champion Machine Learning: Use your expertise in ML, quantitative analysis, and statistical modeling to build systems that learn, adapt, and deliver at scale.
- Code Like a Polyglot: From PHP to Python to Java to C# to JavaScript, you’ll work with the languages and tools best suited to each challenge.
- Visionary Thinking: A knack for predicting where the industry will be years from now—and the audacity to build toward it.
- Hardcore Technical Chops: Deep knowledge in areas like programming languages, databases, networking, operating systems, and AI/ML. You’ve built scalable systems and know what "enterprise-grade" truly means.
- Resilience in the Unknown: You thrive in ambiguity. Problems with no blueprint excite you. You’re not afraid to fail fast and iterate faster.
- A Renaissance Approach to Engineering: Whether it’s designing a distributed system, running experiments on large datasets, or fine-tuning an ML model, you’re ready to dive in.
- Collaborative Leadership: You’re a culture-setter who mentors others, simplifies complex topics, and makes everyone around you better.
- Moonshot Mission: Work on technology that will fundamentally change the software engineering landscape.
- First Mover Advantage: Join a team of builders and have a direct hand in shaping our product, culture, and future.
- Impact at Scale: Your work won’t just assist—it will transform how engineering teams approach modernization globally.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
