Role Summary We’re looking for a rare kind of engineer. Someone with over 20 years of software engineering experience who is still writing code every day. Someone who embraces AI as an engineering partner, not just a productivity tool. Someone who can architect complex systems, build production software, mentor teams, and continuously redefine what’s possible with modern software development. This is not a management role. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for an exceptional software engineer who leads through technical excellence, curiosity, and execution. If you are passionate about AI-native engineering, modern development practices, mobile innovation, and solving complex business problems through software, we’d love to hear from you. Responsibilities Design and build enterprise-grade software solutions from concept through to production. Define architecture across cloud, backend, web, AI and mobile platforms. Develop production-quality software using AI-assisted engineering workflows. Build intelligent applications powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), AI agents and modern AI platforms. Design and develop native mobile applications (iOS and Android) and cross-platform solutions using Flutter or similar frameworks. Partner with clients and engineering teams to solve complex technical challenges. Mentor senior engineers and influence engineering standards through hands-on technical leadership. Evaluate and introduce emerging technologies that improve engineering capability and business outcomes. Continue coding, prototyping and experimenting with new technologies as part of your daily work. Qualification Experience Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems or related field preferred 20+ years of professional software engineering experience. Proven experience designing and delivering complex software systems at enterprise scale. Strong architecture capabilities with the ability to translate strategy into working software. Expert-level coding skills and a passion for remaining hands-on. Extensive experience building cloud-native applications using Azure, AWS and/or Google Cloud. Deep knowledge of modern software architecture, APIs, distributed systems, DevSecOps, CI/CD and secure software engineering. Experience developing native mobile applications using Swift and/or Kotlin. Experience with cross-platform mobile development using Flutter or comparable technologies. Strong consulting and stakeholder engagement skills. Experience working within Agile / SAFe / hybrid delivery models, aligned to strong governance and reporting expectations Proven ability to manage and balance technical quality, delivery pace, and operational stability Experience collaborating closely with: Product Owners and Business stakeholders Architecture, Security, and Platform teams UX / Experience Design and QA functions Strong exposure to DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, and production release governance Experience operating in multi-vendor or partner environments, with accountability for engineering outcomes. AI-Native Engineering Experience You should already be comfortable building software using modern AI development practices and be familiar with technologies such as: Cursor Claude Code GitHub Copilot OpenAI Codex Windsurf Gemini Code Assist Lovable new Firebase Studio Other emerging AI engineering platforms You’ll also have practical experience building applications using: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or similar LLM platforms AI agents and agentic workflows Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Model Context Protocol (MCP) Function calling and tool integration Prompt engineering Vector databases AI application evaluation and governance The Person We’re Looking is someone that: Loves writing great software. Learns new technologies before they become mainstream. Is energised by solving difficult technical problems. Thinks strategically but delivers practically. Challenges conventional thinking with evidence and working solutions. Mentors others through collaboration rather than authority. Has a strong sense of ownership and accountability. Is excited about shaping the future of software engineering through AI. Desirable Experience Multi-agent AI systems Edge AI On-device AI React Native or .NET MAUI Developer Experience (DevEx) Open-source contributions Conference speaking or technical writing Building engineering platforms and accelerators Desired Skills: Systems Analysis Complex Problem Solving Programming/configuration Critical Thinking Time Management
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
