Senior Agentic AI Engineer*

What awaits you

  •  Build enterprise Java applications using agentic workflows as your primary development method
  • Establish agentic development environments for projects: rule files, context documentation, MCP server configurations, and scaffolding that optimises AI collaboration
  • Define prompt engineering patterns for Java development: how to guide agents through complex refactoring, architecture decisions, and feature implementation
  • Review and validate AI-generated code with a critical eye—understanding failure modes, common hallucinations, and quality indicators
  • Mentor team members in transitioning from traditional to agentic development workflows
  • Contribute to methodology development: help ACCSO codify best practices for AI-native software delivery
  • Define and refine our AI-native development methodology, establishing patterns for how teams structure projects, write prompts, and review AI-generated code
  • Bridge two worlds: maintain rigorous software engineering standards while embracing radically new development paradigms 

What sets you apart

  • Java & JVM Expertise (8+ years) (MUST HAVE SKILLS)
    • Deep knowledge of Java 17+ and modern JVM development
    • Strong experience with Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data (or Quarkus/Micronaut)
    • Solid grasp of software architecture: microservices, event-driven systems, DDD, CQRS
    • Solid understanding of software architecture: microservices, event-driven systems, domain-driven design
    • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes)
    • Familiarity with databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
    • Proficiency in API design (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) and integration patterns
    • Proficiency in testing strategies: unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end testing
    • Familiarity with build tools (Maven, Gradle), CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices
  • Agentic Programming Mastery (MUST HAVE SKILLS)
    This is what makes this role different:
    • Daily use of AI coding agents as your primary development interface—not autocomplete, but full agent collaboration (Claude Code, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, or similar)
    • Environment configuration expertise: you know how to set up `.cursorrules`, `CLAUDE.md`, project documentation, and context files that make agents effective
    • Prompt engineering for code: you can break down complex tasks, provide relevant context, and guide agents through multi-step implementations
    • Critical code review skills: you can spot AI-generated anti-patterns, validate logic, and ensure production readiness
    • Understanding of agent limitations: you know when to guide, when to intervene, and when to write code yourself
    • Workflow optimisation: you've developed personal systems for managing agent sessions, maintaining context across tasks, and ensuring code quality
    • Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and tool integration
    • Familiarity with LLM APIs and how agents work under the hood
  • Bonus Points
    • Contributions to open-source projects using agentic workflows
    • Experience mentoring others in AI-augmented development

What we offer

  • Health insurance
  • Family-friendly and flexible working hours
  • Exciting projects in different industries at leading and high-tech German and European companies with different technologies.
  • Possibility to switch to part time if needed
  • Various in-house tech communities
