About the Position

Senior AI Engineer

Avenga is an international engineering firm helping businesses operate with AI at the core. With 6,000+ experts worldwide, we combine engineering expertise with AI-native thinking to turn ambitious ideas into real-world impact across industries, technologies, and markets.

The platform starts by integrating with Jira and Confluence as data sources, and over time it aims to replace them as the primary systems of work and knowledge.

You will define the engineering strategy, architecture standards, and AI governance for the platform. You will also lead the move to AI-native engineering, inspired by emerging AI-DLC (AI-Driven Development Lifecycle) practices, and guide teams in using AI across requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, and operations. Throughout, you will make sure that security, quality, traceability, and compliance hold up.
