Senior Software Engineer (AI Team)

Join Fictiv, a leading intelligent manufacturing platform, as a Senior Software Engineer on our AI Team. In this role, you will work on early-stage ideas, rapidly turning concepts into functional prototypes, and evolving the strongest signals into production systems. You will discover and define high-leverage AI opportunities across manufacturing and supply chain workflows, build rapid prototypes, and collaborate directly with customers and internal stakeholders. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of AI in manufacturing and supply chain.

• Identifying and defining high-leverage AI opportunities across manufacturing and supply chain workflows.
• Building rapid prototypes using real-world company data to test new product ideas and iterating on LLM-powered systems.
• Collaborating directly with customers and internal stakeholders to validate real-world use cases and transforming validated concepts into scalable, production-ready systems.

• A track record of designing experiments and using data to validate technical decisions
• LLM evaluation and testing methodologies
• Proficiency in modern development environments (TypeScript/JavaScript and AWS preferred)
• 8+ years of software engineering experience
• Hands-on experience with:
• Authorization to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship
• Strong experience building and shipping LLM-based applications used in production
• Prompt design and iteration
• Guardrails, reliability patterns, and system design for AI applications
• You challenge assumptions—including your own—and iterate based on evidence
• You’re motivated by solving real business problems—not just writing code
• You communicate clearly and bring others along in your thinking
• You move quickly, test ideas early, and learn from real-world feedback
• You’re comfortable operating with limited structure and evolving direction
• You think like a builder and an owner, not just an implementer
• If you’re energized by ambiguity, driven by impact, and motivated by building things that don’t yet exist, this role is designed for you
• Experience with large, unstructured, or messy datasets
• Experience building AI-first products end-to-end
• Comfort working across multiple languages, tools, and architectures
• Background in applied machine learning or AI systems
