Software Development Engineer, AI Assistant Team

About the Department / Team We build the production systems that connect AI Assistants to Amadeus’ travel capabilities. As part of an end‑to‑end product incubation team, you’ll design, validate, and scale AI‑native solutions for how travelers plan, book, and service trips through emerging AI interfaces. About the AI Delivery Hub The AI Delivery Hub is a key engine in Amadeus’ transformation toward an AI‑first organization. It brings together focused, multidisciplinary teams to design, build, and deliver AI product solutions end‑to‑end. Working closely with product and platform teams across different business lines, the Hub accelerates delivery and scales AI across Amadeus’ portfolio by turning proven work into reusable capabilities and real product outcomes. Role Summary As a Software Engineer in the AI Assistant team, you build and operate the services, APIs, and integration layers that enable AI Assistants to deliver end‑to‑end travel experiences. You write clear specifications, work alongside AI coding agents to generate implementations, and apply rigorous review and testing to ship systems that are production‑ready, secure, and performant. You collaborate closely with architects on system design and technical direction, and with product and design on experience requirements. Key Responsibilities Write clear, well‑scoped specifications that lead to high‑quality implementations by AI coding agents and humans. Review and steer AI‑generated specifications, code, and tests with rigor, ensuring domain correctness, security, performance, and architectural alignment. Decompose work into small, well‑scoped units that can be reasoned about end‑to‑end. Build and maintain production‑ready services, APIs, and integration layers connecting AI Assistant platforms to Amadeus travel content, availability, booking, and payment capabilities. Collaborate with architects on system design, technical direction, and architectural decisions to keep implementations aligned with the broader vision. Instrument systems for observability, telemetry, and continuous validation. Work within the delivery pipeline: golden paths, automated compliance controls, and policy‑as‑code guardrails. Partner with product and design to translate travel experience requirements into feasible technical designs. Collaborate with Amadeus platform teams (Universal Distribution, Hospitality, Payments) to integrate content and APIs that power the travel experience. Continuously improve the practices, prompts, and patterns the team uses to get reliable, high‑quality output from AI tools. Qualifications 4+ years of software engineering experience with strong fundamentals in system design, API development, and production operations. Proficiency in Python and at least one additional backend language (Java, Go, TypeScript, or similar). Experience with AI‑augmented development tools (AI code assistants, agentic coding tools, spec‑driven workflows); or a strong appetite to adopt them as a primary working method. Solid understanding of modern CI/CD practices, containerization, and cloud‑native architectures. Experience building and operating APIs and microservices in production at scale. Ability to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship. Strong code review skills and attention to quality, security, and maintainability, especially when reviewing AI‑generated output. Comfortable with ambiguity and iterative delivery in a rapidly evolving incubation team. Collaborative mindset; able to work closely with product, design, ML engineers, and cross‑business platform teams. Ability to write precise specifications and review AI‑generated code with the same rigor as human‑written code. System thinking: understand how services connect, where latency lives, how failures cascade, and bring the right questions to architects early. Experience with AI Assistant platform integration patterns (plugins, skills, function calling, MCP, conversational APIs). Familiarity with spec‑driven or intent‑driven development methodologies. Background in travel, marketplace, or multi‑side platform domains. Experience with policy‑as‑code, automated compliance, or DevSecOps practices. Familiarity with LLM application patterns (RAG, orchestration, function calling). Equal Employment Opportunity Amadeus is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
