About the Role
Join AutoScout24 Group and experience life in the fast lane. We’re not just leading the market; we’re creating it. For a career that doesn’t stand still, where you can put your ideas in the driving seat and change the way the world moves, join our global community.
We’re hiring a strong Software Engineer / AI Enabler to multiply the impact of our Product & Technology organization. This role is for someone who is excited about GenAI’s boosting their own engineering performance and productivity and now wants to influence a large, ambitious organization—raising the bar for how software is delivered in a complex, established and market-leading business, not a greenfield startup.
The engineering world is moving very fast. We are all learning every day. Your core traits should be curiosity and a strong drive to learn and grow. We do not expect you to know everything. We expect you to help accelerate our curiosity and learning culture, and to become AI-first together with us.
What you’ll do
- Join one of our builders’ teams to build great products loved by our customers.
- Apply an AI-first mindset to every phase of you-build-it-you-run-it: from design and coding to testing, deployment and operations.
- Work hands-on in real product codebases (for example TypeScript/Node/Next.js or Java/Spring), using GenAI tools to accelerate development, improve quality and simplify existing systems.
- Build and evolve AI-powered internal tools and workflows (assistants for coding, reviews, documentation, testing) that engineers across AutoScout24 can rely on every day.
- Act as a multiplier and culture driver: coach teams on effective GenAI usage, share patterns and anti-patterns, and help establish AI-first ways of working across our engineering organization.
- Experiment, measure and improve: run small, data-informed experiments with teams, learn what works in our context, and turn successful approaches into repeatable standards and playbooks.
What you need to succeed
- Deep, hands-on experience building production systems (we expect you’ve spent at least 5 years doing this, possibly much more), ideally with TypeScript/Node.js/Next.js or Java/Spring Boot on AWS, Azure or GCP.
- Proven experience working in large, existing codebases and delivering well-tested, maintainable features in web or backend services.
- Demonstrated personal excellence in using GenAI coding tools (for example GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, OpenAI Codex) to significantly improve your own development speed and quality: code generation, refactoring, debugging, tests and documentation.
- Experience integrating LLM APIs (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI or similar) into applications or internal tools.
- Strong communication and influencing skills: you can introduce new tools and practices, align stakeholders, handle skepticism and iterate based on feedback.
- A curious, growth-oriented mindset: you actively seek out new practices and tools, you are comfortable learning in public, and you help others do the same.
- A pragmatic view of GenAI: you understand its limitations and risks and know how to put guardrails in place (reviews, tests, policies) to keep usage safe, compliant and sustainable at scale.
