We are looking for a Senior AI-Native Engineer who still gets a kick out of understanding a tricky system, tracking down a stubborn bug, or shipping something people actually use. At EPAM, you'll solve real client problems, make architectural decisions, and help your team find better ways to build software using AI to move faster.
Responsibilities
Take a goal and make it happen: understand the problem, challenge assumptions, choose an approach, and follow through
Deliver results that may include a production feature, a validated architecture, or an AI workflow that makes the team more effective
Put coding agents to work to explore codebases, implement features, test, debug, and review changes
Decide what to delegate to agents, where to intervene, and how to verify the result
Configure and extend agent harnesses, including context, skills, specialized agents, hooks, tools, execution environments, and feedback loops
Connect agents to real repositories and engineering workflows
Try new approaches on real problems and measure what improves
Help teammates adopt approaches that work across the team
Requirements
5+ years of experience shipping and maintaining production software, with the ability to write code, reason about architecture, debug unfamiliar systems, and explain technical decisions
Daily experience with coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalents
Understanding of agent capabilities, limitations, and failure modes
Hands-on experience configuring and adapting agent harnesses using skills, specialized agents, hooks, and tool integrations
Understanding of context, execution loops, state, failure recovery, and completion verification
Capability to turn an open-ended goal into practical steps, work through blockers, and bring others along
Capability to take responsibility for the result, including code written by an agent
English proficiency at B2 level or higher
Nice to have
Experience building a coding-agent harness from scratch
Familiarity with custom tools or MCP integrations
Experience with agent evaluations
Experience coordinating multiple agents
