Travelers is seeking a Software Engineer I to join our organization as we grow and transform our Technology landscape through AI‑driven engineering practices. The individual will complete intermediate end‑to‑end engineering tasks for specific system assignments including developing, analyzing, configuring, testing, debugging, troubleshooting, documenting, health monitoring/alerting, and implementing based on user or system design specifications. The role operates within an AI‑driven team where standard expectations include actively applying AI capabilities to improve engineering outcomes at every stage of the software development lifecycle.

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. The company does not sponsor H‑1B petitions, TN, or Forms I‑983/STEM OPT for this role.

• Perform analysis, design, development, and configuration functions as well as define technical requirements for assignments of intermediate complexity.
• Apply AI‑driven tools as a primary means of accelerating delivery, improving code quality, and reducing manual effort across the engineering lifecycle.
• Participate with the team to analyze, assess, and resolve defects and incidents of intermediate complexity and appropriately escalated, using AI‑driven tooling to accelerate root‑cause identification and resolution.
• Work within guidelines set by the team to independently tackle well‑scoped problems, defaulting to AI‑driven approaches as a first line of problem solving and contributing observations about what works back to the team.
• Seek opportunities to expand technical knowledge and capabilities, with a strong emphasis on deepening fluency in AI tools, prompt engineering, and the evolving landscape of AI‑driven software development practices.

• Three years of programming/development experience.
• Hands‑on experience using AI‑driven or AI‑assisted tools in a professional engineering context strongly preferred.
• Strong delivery skills—including the ability to deliver work at a steady, predictable pace to achieve commitments, decompose work assignments into small batch releases, and contribute to trade‑off and negotiation discussions.
• Consistently applies AI‑driven tools to compress delivery timelines, reduce rework, and improve the predictability and quality of personal output.
• Demonstrated domain expertise with the ability to understand technical concepts, demonstrate willingness and concern for business issues, and possess in‑depth knowledge of the immediate systems worked on.
• Actively applies AI‑driven techniques within the domain to deepen system understanding, surface hidden dependencies, and accelerate onboarding to new areas of the codebase.
• Proven problem‑solving skills—including debugging, the ability to determine the source of issues in unfamiliar code or systems, and the ability to recognize and solve repetitive problems.
• Treats AI‑driven tooling as a core problem‑solving instrument—using it to generate hypotheses, automate repetitive diagnosis, and rapidly prototype solutions while applying critical judgment to evaluate and refine AI‑generated output.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly and concisely interact with team members, document work, collaborate well, and ask the right questions to ensure clarification.
• Communicates AI tool usage transparently as a standard part of engineering practice and documents AI‑assisted decisions clearly for future reference.
• Intermediate leadership skills with a proven track record of…
