Job description

Overview

JAGGAER provides an intelligent Source-to-Pay and Supplier Collaboration Platform that empowers organizations to manage and automate complex processes while enabling a highly resilient, responsible, and integrated supplier base. With 30 years of expertise, we specialize in solving complex procurement and supply chain challenges across various industries.

Our 1,300+ global employees are obsessed with ensuring customers get full value from our products - ultimately enhancing and transforming their businesses. For more information, visit www.jaggaer.com

This is not a typical developer role—it’s an architecturally influential position for a seasoned engineer ready to help shape enterprise AI through rapid prototyping and agentic frameworks.

You will partner with JAGGAER’s Chief Data & AI Office (CDAO) to design and test cutting-edge AI-driven workflows that redefine how enterprises engage with procurement. Your work will translate big ideas into working prototypes—bridging theory with hands-on engineering.

If your experience is primarily feature development or you are looking for a first exposure to AI tools, this role will be overwhelming. But if you have spent a decade-plus building and scaling systems end-to-end, experimenting with new frameworks, and influencing architectural direction, you’ll thrive here.

Principal Responsibilities

Position Responsibilities:

• AI-Driven Prototyping & Experimentation:
  • Rapidly build proof-of-concepts integrating Java-based backends, frontends, and LLM/AI tooling.
  • Experiment with agentic AI frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, LangChain) to validate novel enterprise use cases.
• Full-Stack Engineering Leadership:
  • Architect scalable APIs and services in Java (Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Quarkus).
  • Model and optimize SQL/NoSQL data structures (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra) for embeddings, vector search, and AI-driven workflows.
  • Develop intuitive UIs in React, Angular, or Vue to test agent-based interactions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Partner with architects and ML engineers to assess emerging frameworks and productionize the best candidates.
  • Translate architectural hypotheses into working code, providing evidence for future platform direction.

Position Requirements

Minimum Qualifications

• 12+ years full-stack development experience with clear evidence of senior-level ownership.
• Expert-level proficiency in Java (Spring Boot, Micronaut, Quarkus).
• Strong database expertise—design, scaling, performance optimization.
• Frontend proficiency with React, Angular, or Vue; demonstrated sensitivity to UX.
• Proven experience building and deploying cloud-native solutions (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Exposure to AI/LLM tools: vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate), embeddings, and orchestration frameworks.
• Rigorous standards for performance, testing, maintainability, and security.
• Degree in Computer Science or related field (Master’s preferred).

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on contributions to open-source projects or published prototypes.
• Prior experience building prototypes that directly influenced platform roadmaps.
• Deep passion for AI, emerging technologies, and building what hasn’t been built before.

Why JAGGAER?

• Work directly with the CDAO’s innovation team to shape the future of enterprise AI.
• Influence platform direction from early-stage R&D.
• Collaborate with world-class talent in a fast-paced, impact-driven culture.
• Enjoy flexibility, purpose-driven work, and competitive compensation.
