Lead AI Application/Software Engineer

The AI Application / Senior Software Engineer designs, builds, deploys and supports lightweight applications for Skanska USA Building business use cases where existing enterprise tools or commercial solutions do not fit. Working within the Digital team and in close partnership with IT architecture, information security and business stakeholders, the engineer translates ambiguous business needs into scoped, shippable solutions; uses AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while rigorously reviewing, testing and hardening AI-generated code for correctness, security and maintainability; and establishes the practical development, deployment, documentation and code review standards that govern custom software at USB. The role advises on build-versus-configure decisions — including sound judgment about when not to build custom software — defines approved deployment paths with architecture and security partners (Azure-first options, rapid application platforms, infrastructure as code and CI/CD), and supports citizen developers with guardrails and code review. The job exists because USB has business needs that commercial and configured platforms do not address, and needs an accountable, standards-driven engineering capability to meet them safely and sustainably.
