Please note that before you apply for this role,
you should be a hands‑on platform engineer who builds through code and automates by default. Last week you would have been writing a lot of code!
Architecture, administration and product configuration alone are not sufficient. We want to understand what you personally implemented, tested, automated and supported in production.
At IFS, we're building the next generation of AI‑native enterprise software, transforming how some of the world's largest organisations manage assets, operations and critical services.
This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of modern AI engineering, building intelligent products that combine Large Language Models (LLMs), agentic AI and cloud‑native technologies to solve complex, real‑world business challenges at enterprise scale.
We're looking for engineers who are passionate about building production AI systems and excited by the opportunity to shape the future of enterprise software.
Please note that this role requires demonstrable, hands‑on experience designing, building and shipping production AI applications.
Candidates whose AI experience is limited to using tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or Git Hub Copilot to assist software development, without demonstrable experience building AI‑powered products or systems, will not meet the requirements for this role.
IFS is a billion‑dollar revenue company with 7000+ employees on all continents. We deliver award‑winning enterprise software solutions through the use of embedded digital innovation and a single cloud‑based platform to help businesses be their best when it really matters–at the Moment of Service™.
At IFS, we're flexible, we're innovative, and we're focused not only on how we can engage with our customers, but on how we can make a real change and have a worldwide impact. We help solve some of society's greatest challenges, fostering a better future through our agility, collaboration, and trust.
We celebrate diversity and accept that there are so many different perspectives in this world. As a truly international company serving people from around the globe, we realize that our success is tantamount to the respect we have for those different points of view.
By joining our team, you will have the opportunity to be part of a global, diverse environment; you will be joining a winning team with a commitment to sustainability; and a company where we get things done so that you can make a positive impact on the world.
We're looking for innovative and original thinkers to work in an environment where you can #Make Your Moment so that we can help others make theirs.
