Senior AI-Native Engineer

You still get a kick out of understanding a tricky system, tracking down a stubborn bug, or shipping something people use. AI has made you more ambitious about what you can build.
We are looking for engineers who love the craft and know how to use AI to move faster. You’ll solve real client problems, make architectural decisions, and help your team find better ways to build software. If you are looking to give your career a real boost with a global leader in digital transformation, EPAM is the perfect choice. If you’d like to learn more about this position and project, apply now.
Responsibilities
Take a goal and make it happen. Understand the problem, challenge assumptions, choose an approach, and follow through. The result might be a production feature, a validated architecture, or an AI workflow that makes the team more effective
Put coding agents to work. Use them to explore codebases, implement features, tests, debugs, and review changes. Decide what to delegate, where to intervene, and how to verify the result
Make agents more useful. Configure and extend their harnesses: context, skills, specialized agents, hooks, tools, execution environments, and feedback loops. Connect them to real repositories and engineering workflows
Help good ideas spread. Try things on real problems, measure what improves, and help teammates adopt approaches that work
Requirements
Engineering depth. You've shipped and maintained production software. You can write code, reason about architecture, debug unfamiliar systems, and explain your technical decisions
Daily experience with coding agents. You're fluent with tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalents. You understand their capabilities, limitations, and failure modes
Hands-on harness experience. You've configured and adapted the systems around an agent, using building blocks such as skills, specialized agents, hooks, and tool integrations. You understand context, execution loops, state, failure recovery, and how to verify completion
Focus on outcomes. You turn an open-ended goal into practical steps, work through blockers, and bring others along. You take responsibility for the result, including code an agent wrote
Building a coding-agent harness from scratch is a big plus. So are custom tools or MCP integrations, agent evaluations, and experience coordinating multiple agents
We offer
Career development opportunities with a transparent career path
Wide range of professional trainings, workshops, and mentoring programs plus unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning
Learning resources and financial support for completing certification programs
Christmas and Vacation bonus
Corporate Health Insurance (basic and supplementary)
Free yearly medical check-ups
25 days of vacation
