Role Description

As an AI Software Engineer at MavTek, you are the co-owner of the engineering and AI strategy that fundamentally shifts how engineering teams work, where building with AI and redesigning development workflows to support further adoption are the cornerstone of the role.

• Work in a layer of ambiguity where the vision is set but the how-to is missing.
• Create structures and guardrails to follow the vision.
• Assess what’s needed to get to the vision and identify missing components.
• Connect the dots and set a technical strategy you own.
• Focus on removing the hardest problems that block engineering teams.
• Balance technical strategy, hands-on contributions, and establish yourself as a right-hand of both engineers and engineering leadership.

• Experience driving cross-team collaboration by coaching and pairing with engineers.
• A strong sense of balance of engineering, product, security, and compliance knowledge.
• Familiarity with our tech stack: Next.js, React.js, Node.js, and AWS.
• Experience working on platform teams or DX teams.

Requirements

• Improving AI adoption through internal tools, skills, or plugin development.
• Re-design of development workflows that boost developer productivity, code quality, or process simplification.
• Enablement of autonomous agents through agentic systems or loops.
• Raising the AI adoption bar through DX programs, e.g., AI-awareness to AI-native.
