About this role
IDEXX is looking for a Senior AI Software Engineer to join a brand new, greenfield team focused on leveraging AI for developer enablement and tooling. In this high-impact role, you'll lead the charge in creating AI-driven systems, tools, and developer experiences that accelerate software development and infuse joy into the process.
Responsibilities:
- Architect AI-Powered Developer Tools: Design and implement scalable AI systems using modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) to automate code generation, debugging, and testing—making development faster, more intuitive, and enjoyable for our teams
- Pioneer Agentic AI Innovations: Advance autonomous AI agents capable of independent decision-making and problem-solving, integrating them into our SaaS platform to deliver real value, like predictive analytics for animal health data or adaptive user experiences
- Enhance Engineering Workflows and Experiences: Collaborate across tribes to identify bottlenecks, prototype AI-enhanced solutions (e.g., natural language interfaces for DevOps tasks), and foster best-in-class practices—while mentoring junior engineers and influencing strategic roadmaps
Requirements:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years focusing on Developer Experience or developer tooling
- Deep understanding of software development workflows, CI/CD, source control (Git), testing, and automation
- Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML models into engineering processes (e.g., LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source LLMs)
- Proficiency in backend development (e.g., Python, Go, Node.js) and scripting languages
- Experience building plugins or extensions for developer tools (e.g., VS Code, GitHub Apps, CLI tools)
- Strong communication skills and empathy for developer pain points
- Bias for action — you turn insights into working solutions quickly and iteratively
- Experience building with AI platforms (OpenAI, Hugging Face, LangChain, etc.)
- Experience working in platform engineering, productivity engineering, or DevOps
- Prior contributions to open-source developer tools
- Familiarity with observability and performance tooling
- Background in machine learning, natural language processing, or prompt engineering
