Senior Software Engineer, Agentic AI Automotive

Innovation Is Imagining What No One Else Can.

Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are at the cutting edge when it comes to shaping next-gen mobility in areas like automated driving. But it takes real intellectual leadership and expertise to identify and then harness the AI trends and technologies that will transform the way people travel for good. We shape the future of software development h AI-powered tools and methods, we transform how software is created – with greater speed, higher quality, and better developer experience.

We are building a new team at the intersection of AI and automotive software engineering to drive transformation across international engineering locations.

• You pioneer the transformation toward an AI-native Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and continuously evaluate rapidly advancing AI capabilities to keep BMW at the frontier.
• Furthermore, you design and build AI-driven engineering tool chains and workflows, agentic systems, and context engineering strategies.
• You build and operate AI-driven engineering environments and automated feedback loops to drive measurable improvements in developer productivity.
• You ensure system quality with evaluations, guardrails, and validation of software development artefacts and outputs.
• In addition, you enable and coach engineering teams to adopt AI-native workflows, collaborating across multiple divisions and international locations.
• You drive knowledge exchange across the developer community, for example through hackathons, workshops, and training sessions.
• You contribute to our transformation initiative, roadmap planning, cross-team alignment, and data-driven insights that guide scaling decisions.

• University degree in computer science, mathematics, software engineering, or a comparable field.
• At least five years of professional software engineering experience developing high-quality production software, ideally from concept to production (Rust, Java, Kotlin, or C++).
• Deep experience with AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot, Cursor, or similar tools, with knowledge in context engineering, agentic workflows, MCP, A2A, and agent skills.
• Hands‑on experience in designing, building, and operating agentic systems (e.g., Lang Graph), including evaluation and quality assurance.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automation of tool chains, and containerised development environments.
• Proficiency in collaborating across multiple teams and international locations, driving adoption of new tools and workflows, and scaling across a large engineering organisation.
• Experience with data-driven decision making, defining metrics, running experiments, and turning measurements into actionable insights.

• Challenging projects with which we are shaping the mobility of tomorrow together.
• Wide range of personal and professional development opportunities.
• Attractive, fair and performance-related remuneration.
• High level of job security.
• Annual special payments such as vacation pay, Christmas bonus, and profit sharing.
• Flexible working hours including 6 weeks annual leave and overtime compensation.
• Discounted BMW & MINI conditions.
