The Team The newly formed AI Services team will help to transform how Aflac use AI at scale where it matters. Taking priority use cases from concept to production, prov ing what works early, and pack aging the results so other teams can repeat them. T his team leads Aflac’s compound engineering methodology equipping engineers with AI - driven workflows and setting SDLC standards that make AI available, safe, and scalable. Role Overview The AI Context Engineer is a n exciting new role at the intersection of product management, software engineering, and technical architecture. Leveraging advanced engineering with AI-driven tools and development frameworks to rapidly prototype, build, and deploy software applications. Amplifying t raditional coding, you'll have the ability to articulate, guide, and debug AI models to produce scalable, secure, and well-documented applications from a high-level vision to production. Serving as a technical owner, this role leverag es AI as a force multiplier and human amplifier to achieve a level of velocity and productivity far exceeding traditional development methodologies. What you’ll be doing You’ll be responsible for the entire full stack application lifecycle, with a focus on using AI tools for all stages of the SDLC. Innovation, Advocacy & Enablement Bring ideas to life in a scalable, enterprise-ready manner that is user focused. Champion the responsible use of AI tools and practices across engineering teams. Lead internal workshops, demos, and training sessions to build AI fluency and confidence. Influence engineering culture by promoting responsible, efficient, and innovative AI usage. Scaled Application Building Use AI to generate, refine, and optimize high quality code, across front-end, back-end, data and middleware layers. Prompt AI to generate comprehensive test suites (unit, integration, end-to-end). Configure and manage CI/CD pipelines using AI-generated scripts and infrastructure-as-code. Generate accurate and complete documentation (API references, system diagrams, feature guides) by prompting AI to analy s e codebases and architecture. Define scalable, secure, and resilient architectures using AI-generated infrastructure templates and security policies. Ensure compliance with enterprise standards and regulatory requirements. Leverage AI-powered monitoring and diagnostics to detect, troubleshoot, and resolve production issues. Skills and experience Below is an overview of the skills and experience we are looking for, but remember, don’t rule yourself out if you don’t have everything on the list – it’s your intellect and your attitude we are really after. Essential Criteria Bachelor's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related field, or previous commercial experience 6 years of industry experience in software engineering or application development Experience with AI driven engineering tools and techniques e.g. Kiro (Amazon Q developer), Github Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Compound Engineering Experience with agentic AI workflows and steering techniques for reliable automation Ensure alignment with architectural patterns, coding standards, and performance Strong Object-Oriented Programming skills (e.g., Java, Python, C#) Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) Strong problem-solving skills Excellent communication skills Candidates must be based in Northern Ireland with the relevant Right to Work Visa Desirable Criteria AWS certification or equivalent in cloud services Familiarity with RAG architectures, embeddings, and context management strategies Experience with agentic AI workflows and steering techniques for reliable automation Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) Proven experience with full-stack development (front-end, back-end, APIs, databases) Familiarity with security best practices and compliance standards Familiarity with automated testing frameworks and QA processes So that’s us. Thanks for taking the time to read this far! We look forward to hearing from you if you fancy joining an innovative tech company that runs locally but is supported by a well-established, highly recognised Fortune 500 company in the US. Aflac Northern Ireland is an equal opportunities employer.
