What Is the Opportunity?

Travelers are seeking a Software Engineer II to join our organization as we grow and transform our Technology landscape. Individual will complete advanced end to end engineering tasks for specific system assignments including designing, developing, analyzing, configuring, testing, debugging, troubleshooting, documenting, health monitoring/alerting, and implementing based on user or system specifications, consulting with users to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications, managing interaction between the systems and other technical support areas and defining technical requirements and coordinating team resources to solve problems.

As a Software Engineer II for the Enterprise AI Products Value Stream within the Enterprise AI & Emerging Tech organization, you will have the opportunity to be an impactful member of a team leader from day one. Engineers in this value stream work across the full arc of AI product delivery - from long-horizon strategic initiatives tackling complex, ambiguous problems where the path to production has yet to be defined, to hands-on field engagements that embed directly with Lines of Business to rapidly integrate enterprise AI platforms and prototype solutions at speed. You will partner with LOB stakeholders, product owners, architects, and platform teams to translate business problems into AI-powered capabilities that deliver measurable outcomes across the enterprise. This role is hands-on and delivery-oriented - ideal for an engineer who thrives on variety, moves fast, and finds energy in solving different hard problems every few months.

  • Own delivery end to end - from scoping and design through development, handoff, and knowledge transfer - maintaining high standards for code quality and solution design at every stage.
  • Actively engage with LOB stakeholders to understand not just the problem at hand, but adjacent challenges and emerging needs - surfacing field intelligence that informs the broader AI product roadmap and strategic investment decisions.
  • Provide technical guidance and coaching to junior engineers on the team, serving as an informal technical lead within your team - setting the bar for code quality, solution design, and delivery standards without carrying formal management responsibility.
  • Demonstrate subject matter expertise across multiple technology disciplines, serving as a credible technical resource for both LOB partners and internal engineering teams.
  • Perform analysis, assessment and resolution for defects and incidents of advanced complexity and escalate appropriately.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
