This role requires strong hands-on full-stack engineering skills, experience building AI integrated applications end-to-end, developing APIs and user experiences, and the ability to operate independently with limited supervision in a fast-paced innovation environment

This role focuses on high-velocity development of innovation solutions, building applications, APIs, workflow automations, and integrations that demonstrate clear business value. The Senior Innovation Software Engineer will partner closely across the Innovation team to develop end-to-end high-quality prototype applications, implement AI-enabled features, and ensure solutions are well-designed, testable, and ready for broader reuse.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of prototypes and proof-of-concept solutions to validate new ideas and technologies, with emphasis on building working applications end-to-end.
• Design and implement APIs, backend services, workflow automations, and UI experiences to support innovation use cases.
• Build AI-enabled application capabilities (e.g., agent workflows, prompt/tooling patterns, evaluation and guardrails) in partnership with AI technical leadership
• Experiment with, develop, and implement emerging technology solutions (e.g., agent-based workflows, digital assets, etc.) and translate into working solutions.
• Develop and maintain rapid development patterns for innovation solutions (starter kits, reusable components, internal demos, and implementation playbooks).
• Integrate solutions with enterprise systems as needed (identity/access, data sources, eventing, internal services), partnering with architecture and platform stakeholders.
• Evaluate emerging tools and frameworks that improve engineering velocity and quality (AI-assisted development, orchestration frameworks, UI frameworks).
• Operate with limited supervision, proactively defining tasks, making progress visible, and driving solutions to completion.
