Build the Future of AI-Driven Software Development

At NICE, we're redefining how software gets built.

We're looking for a Software Engineer who is passionate about both modern software engineering and the emerging world of AI-powered development. You'll join our Workforce Management (WFM) engineering team and play a key role in designing scalable backend services while helping shape the AI development ecosystem that powers our engineering organization.

This is more than a traditional software engineering role. You'll help create intelligent development workflows, build agentic tooling, optimize AI-assisted engineering practices, and influence how teams leverage generative AI to accelerate innovation.

If you love solving complex technical challenges, experimenting with cutting-edge AI technologies, and building software that impacts millions of users worldwide, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

Build Great Software

• Design, develop, test, and deliver high-quality backend solutions using Java and modern web technologies.

• Create scalable, maintainable, and well-documented software that aligns with business goals and architectural standards.

• Develop robust unit, integration, and automated tests that ensure reliability and performance.

• Troubleshoot, enhance, and continuously improve existing applications and services.

• Participate in system design discussions, architectural decisions, and code reviews.

Drive AI-Powered Engineering

• Own and evolve our AI development environment, including coding agents, tools, workflows, and supporting infrastructure.

• Design and optimize AI-powered development workflows that increase engineering velocity and quality.

• Create and maintain prompts, instructions, skills, plugins, and tool integrations.

• Connect AI tools into seamless agentic development pipelines.

• Enable spec-driven development workflows that transform ideas into specifications, implementations, and validated solutions.

• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and bring innovative practices into everyday engineering.

Collaborate and Innovate

• Work closely with product managers, architects, engineers, and stakeholders across the organization.

• Contribute to Agile ceremonies and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Share knowledge, mentor peers, and help foster an AI-forward engineering culture.

• Influence technical direction and champion modern software development practices.

What Makes You Successful

You are naturally curious, love learning new technologies, and get excited about finding smarter ways to solve problems.

You thrive in environments where innovation, experimentation, and continuous improvement are encouraged. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, adapting to changing priorities, and turning complex challenges into practical solutions.

Most importantly, you're energized by the opportunity to help define the future of software engineering through AI.
