The AI & Digital Engineering Software Engineer IV contributes to X-energy's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions Tiger Team, which accelerates Xe-100 nuclear reactor development workflows by designing and building production-ready, AI-native applications, agentic workflows, and the platform infrastructure that supports them. Working in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment and under the general guidance of senior engineers and technical leadership, this engineer applies modern large language models, agentic AI, and cloud-native engineering practices to help move X-energy from siloed documents toward a living, queryable engineering model spanning requirements, design, manufacturing, regulatory, and deployment processes.

This role contributes directly to X-energy's mission of becoming an AI-first organization and to the broader effort to set the industry standard for nuclear deployment speed and operational excellence, operating with considerable latitude for independent judgment on assigned tasks.

For all Tracks Work collaboratively in a tiger-team environment to develop production-ready AI solutions. Leverage Claude Code and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate development, prompt iteration, and maintenance tasks. Apply knowledge of LLMs and AI systems to support the platform's AI-native architecture. Partner with X-energy's systems-engineering, licensing, and quality-assurance organizations to help ensure delivered solutions and AI-generated artifacts meet nuclear-engineering and regulatory expectations.

Document solutions, architecture decisions, and integration patterns, and support knowledge transfer to relevant technical teams. Implement and maintain development best practices and quality standards. Execute core tasks and responsibilities with considerable latitude for independent judgment in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
