Senior AI Engineer; Java

Forte Group is seeking a Senior AI Software Engineer (Java-focused) to help build the future of AI-driven ERP automation.

• The Goal
  :
  Develop a modern, scalable SaaS automation layer to normalize, validate, and enrich complex leasing data for seamless system onboarding
• The Method
  :
  Operate within an AI-first workflow where AI agents draft code/tests, and you set constraints, verify logic, and harden the system
• Your Role
  :
  Own end-to-end delivery slices (design to operations), translating business requirements into programmatic platform configurations while ensuring safety and correctness

• Own delivery of automation features and technical slices end-to-end, including production support.
• Break work into small increments, keep PRs tight, and ship frequently with a bias to outcomes.
• Turn ambiguity into clarity by asking the right questions, analyzing platform configuration metadata, and aligning quickly on scope, constraints, and acceptance.
• Deliver production‑grade functionality by default (security, performance, observability, auditability, maintainability).

• Use AI routinely as a delivery partner for first drafts of code, data parsers, tests, docs, and runbooks, while maintaining full accountability for the result.
• Work effectively in an AI‑first PDLC by shaping tasks with intent and constraints, iterating quickly, and validating outputs thoroughly.
• Apply verification discipline to AI‑generated output (automated scripts, edge cases, failure modes, security, performance, and operational behavior).
• Contribute to golden paths and repeatable speed (templates, data mapping patterns, golden prompts, automated configuration checks) based on real delivery learnings.
• Participate actively in code review as author and reviewer, raising standards through clear, pragmatic feedback.

• Design and implement robust, maintainable software and automation tools in modern Java aligned to system architecture, service boundaries, and APIs.
• Build reliable data extraction and transformation flows using SQL/No‑SQL with appropriate schema design, indexing, and migration/mapping practices.
• Implement APIs and integrations (including programmatic bulk upload, configuration parsing, or YAML/JSON generation) with consistent error handling and resilience suitable for enterprise systems.
• Write effective automated tests (unit/integration/contract as appropriate) and treat test quality as a first‑class part of delivery.
• Keep documentation current as part of delivery (agents draft; you verify for correctness and usefulness).

• Meet speed with control standards: automated quality gates, security scanning, and production readiness requirements.
• Ensure observability by default in what you build (structured logs, meaningful metrics, traceability/correlation, runbook notes for key behaviors).
• Build with safe release practices in mind so changes are reversible, diagnosable, and measurable in production.
• Apply enterprise controls where required (data traceability, audit‑friendly behaviors, sensible access/control considerations).
• Work effectively across Product, Operations, QA, and Engineering to deliver outcomes, not just output.
• Share knowledge, support peers, and contribute to a positive, high‑performing culture.
• Maintain a continuous learning mindset and adopt improved practices, helping others do the same.
• Step up to unblock progress, improve reliability, and strengthen the team's delivery system when needed.

• Strong experience building production systems and automation tools in modern Java with solid API design and integration fundamentals.
• Strong SQL/No‑SQL and data modeling capability, including complex schema mapping and transformation logic (parsing data from text/systems of record into platform‑compatible structures).
• Sound engineering judgment across correctness, failure modes, and operational behavior.
• Comfortable reviewing code for quality and risk, and receptive to feedback.
• Clear technical communication, able to explain approaches and trade‑offs.
• Uses AI routinely to accelerate…
