Backend Engineer - AI Transformation

About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer (4+ years) to join the team as an AI Integration Engineer, supporting one of our enterprise clients as part of their AI-Native Development program.

In this role, you will act as an AI Champion and Technical Mentor within the client’s R&D organization. Your mission is to help development teams effectively integrate AI tools, agentic coding workflows, and best practices into their daily software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will help guide teams through AI adoption, help overcome resistance, and ensure AI delivers real value.

This is not a feature-delivery or coding-focused role, especially in the early stages, the position is centered on enablement, training, and integration, working closely with teams to embed AI development tools into real workflows and support the organization’s AI transformation.

This is a high-impact role focused on technical enablement, AI expertise, and effective collaboration with development teams and intended for experienced engineers who actively use AI in their day-to-day development work and are looking to influence how teams work. Success in this role looks like teams shipping faster and smarter with AI, not lines of code written.

What You’ll Do:

? Help drive adoption and optimization of GitHub Copilot and AI dev tools

? Support (mostly) backend engineers, answer technical questions and help unblock teams

? Continuously track the AI tooling landscape and best practices

? Measure impact, identify gaps and improvement opportunities across the SDLC

? Navigate and reduce change resistance to change with patience and empathy

? Partner with DevOps, architects, and management to track and optimize AI utilization

? Build and maintain a library of reusable AI assets (prompts, rules, agent workflows, playbooks) tailored to the client’s stack

? Serve as the go-to escalation point for GitHub Copilot-related issues, edge cases, and feature rollouts

? Experience working in large, multi-team R&D environments

? Comfort working in ambiguous, evolving programs where the role itself is being shaped in real time

? Familiarity with SDLC metrics and how to baseline/measure developer productivity (cycle time, PR throughput, etc.)
