Summary

AI Development Software Engineer

Redefine how software is built using AI to dramatically increase speed and quality.

We are looking for an AI Development Software Engineer to strengthen our Digital Solutions team. We are looking for a hands‑on software engineer who already uses AI‑tools as a serious part of their development workflow to ship quality software faster.

Join us in our mission to fundamentally transform how we build software. In this role, you will use AI coding assistants, agents, automated testing support, documentation generation and modern development tools as a core part of your engineering workflow to significantly accelerate delivery, improve quality, and enable faster innovation.

This role is not an ML research or data scientist role primarily about building AI‑based products. Instead, it is about using AI to step‑change how software is engineered, enabling faster delivery of both internal tools and customer‑facing solutions.

Why this role is exciting

You will have the opportunity to shape how modern software development is done in a real industrial technology environment. You will work with production systems, experienced engineering teams and real business problems.

You will help define practical AI‑assisted development standards, test new tools, create reusable workflows and influence how teams build software in the future.

What will you be doing in this role?

• Use AI tools and agents as a primary part of your development workflow alt: Use AI tools like Claude code, Copilot, etc as an integrated/primary part of your workflow
• Build software faster and more efficiently by leveraging AI‑assisted coding, testing, and debugging
• Design and implement internal tools, templates, workflows and automation and products, where AI is used to accelerate development
• Apply rapid, iterative, user‑focused development practices
• Use AI‑based test automation and validation (e.g. test agents) to ensure high quality
• Continuously identify and implement ways to reduce development time while maintaining engineering standards
• Turning AI capabilities into practical improvements in developer productivity and delivery speed
• Mentor and support colleagues in adopting AI‑first development practices

Who are we looking for?

• Uses AI as a natural and integrated part of how they develop software
• Can demonstrate significantly increased development speed through AI tools
• Has strong software engineering fundamentals (architecture, APIs, maintainability, testing, production readiness)
• Understands how to balance speed, quality, and long‑term maintainability
• Is pragmatic and focused on delivering real solutions
• Can translate new tools and approaches into real improvements in how teams work
• Collaborates effectively with product managers, developers, and commercial stakeholders
• Enjoys mentoring others and improving team capabilities

Requirements

• Bachelors degree or higher in Computer engineering or equivalent.
• Experience with software development.
• Experience with coding assistants and agents like Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.
• Locations: Houston, Tx-Kristiansand-Norway/Macae-Brazil
