The Role
This isn't a typical engineering role. As an AI Native Software Engineer, you'll work across product, engineering and architecture. You'll use AI tools to design, build and deploy software at pace. Instead of only writing code, you'll engineer the context, skills and steering that let AI models build secure and scalable applications, taking ideas from high level concept all the way to production. You will act as an AI Advocate, guiding teams on how to adopt AI effectively, sharing best practices, educating stakeholders and driving a culture that embraces AI powered ways of working.

The Team
The AI Services team helps transform how Aflac uses AI at scale where it matters. Taking priority use cases from concept to production, proving what works early, and packaging the results so other teams can repeat them. This team leads Aflac's AI harness engineering methodology, equipping engineers and product teams with AI driven workflows and setting SDLC standards that make AI available, safe and scalable.
One of our current priorities is modernising some of Aflac's longest running core systems. Using Aflac's AI harness engineering methodology, AI Services will support the delivery teams by shaping the methods and patterns that turn legacy code into robust, testable modern services. Every pass records the issues found and feeds them back into the next one. Over time, each migration needs less manual fixing.
AI Services Engineering runs as two functions. This role sits in the Context Engineering function, taking AI native products from concept to production and setting the AI harness engineering methodology behind them. The other function is AI Platform, owning the Agentic Platform: how Aflac runs agents at scale, cost efficiently and securely, with the right risk posture and robust operational controls. Alongside both sits AI Enablement, driving adoption, education and communication across the business. Two sides of one engineering team, working closely with the full AI Services team. You'll work with AI Platform to run agents on a secure, well governed foundation, and with QA, Solution Architects, Enterprise Architecture, Security and domain experts in an agile environment.
What you'll be doing
You will act as an internal influencer, creative problem solver and AI advocate, helping teams get the most value from AI development tools, from early exploration through to scalable deployment. We are looking for someone with a strong technical background who is energised by facilitation, communication and driving change across a large organisation.
Serving as a technical owner, this role uses AI as a force multiplier and human amplifier to achieve a level of velocity and productivity far exceeding traditional development methodologies.
