Senior AI-Native Engineer (Software Engineering)

Who We Are We are a global technology consultancy with a trademarked, AI-first engineering approach for accelerating the delivery of digital products, and revolutionizing platform modernization. We do the right thing, and we do it right. We're proud to be a World Economic Forum New Champion, and a B Corp-certified company. Build. Scale. Sustain. • We are small enough to care locally, big enough to deliver globally : 5 continents, 10 countries, +500 experts from +50 nationalities across the Americas, Europe and APAC • We are robust and resilient : 100% independent and 0 debt • We are entrepreneurs and passionate experts : We invest in what we believe genuinely and work as a collective intelligence • We are positive, courageous, caring, doers and committed to excellence About Gen-e2TM While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Leveraging our 16 years expertise in digital transformation, our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with a strong collaboration between IA generative and our best Talents: • We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design powered by GitHub Copilot. • The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams. • A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation. • A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability. With Gen-e2TM, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.
