The AI & Automation Junior Engineer designs, builds and operates the AI and automation capabilities that allow the team to assess a large legacy application portfolio at a speed and scale that manual analysis cannot achieve. This role converts raw source code, database schemas, configuration and technical documentation into structured, evidence-backed portfolio intelligence — component inventories, dependency graphs, capability maps, technical-debt and risk indicators, and consolidation candidates — that directly drive rationalization and modernization decisions.

AI & Automation Engineers work side by side with Application Modernization Engineers, who validate automated findings and feed confirmed patterns back into the pipeline, continuously improving accuracy. The capabilities built here become reusable assets for later modernization, enhancement and operations work across the program.

Your key responsibilities

Build and operate automated ingestion pipelines for source code repositories, database scripts and schemas, build and deployment configuration, and technical documentation across heterogeneous technology stacks (.NET, Java, Cold Fusion, JavaScript, batch and legacy runtimes).Develop static-analysis and LLM-assisted extraction to identify application components, technology fingerprints (languages, frameworks, versions and libraries), dependencies, interfaces, data-access patterns and shared database usage.
