This role is for a highly productive engineer who multiplies their individual output by integrating advanced Generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM) developer tools into their daily workflow. Far beyond writing standard application code, this builder builds production-grade Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), designs intelligent agentic workflows, and architectures scalable backend software that leverages LLMs directly to solve complex business problems. You will have a proven track record of shipping actual production-scale products, moving rapidly past localized sandboxes or basic code prototypes, as well as an exceptional builder mindset focused on hyper-efficiency, continuous tooling experimentation, and engineering velocity. What you'll do: * High-Velocity MVP Delivery: Move rapidly from design concepts to writing production-ready code. Ship fully realized, resilient enterprise applications with speed and autonomy. * AI-Assisted Engineering: Seamlessly embed GenAI assistants into daily workflows to drastically accelerate code writing, refactoring, test generation, and deep debugging. * LLM & AI Application Building: Design, implement, and deploy application layers that integrate LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and intelligent agentic workflows. * Enterprise Java Engineering: Architect and write clean, maintainable, and high-performance Java code capable of processing concurrent, enterprise-scale workloads. * CI/CD & Cloud Automation: Build and manage automated pipelines to package, test, and deploy applications continuously to cloud ecosystems. * Architecture & Database Integration: Model secure, low-latency relational and non-relational database layers optimized for rapid application execution. * Performance Tuning & Diagnostics: Conduct deep-dive profiling, memory leak detection, and technical troubleshooting on high-throughput backend services., * This role is on-site Monday through Friday. Fiserv considers in-person collaboration to be an essential part of this role as in-person office experiences help you with your overall onboarding experience and leads to stronger productivity. * You must currently possess valid and unrestricted U.S. work authorization to be considered for this role. Individuals with temporary visas including, but not limited to, F-1 (OPT, CPT, STEM), H-1B, H-2, or TN, or any candidate requiring sponsorship, now or in the future, will not be considered for this role. * This is a full-time, direct-hire position, and no contract options for unsolicited agency submissions will be considered. * All offers of employment are contingent on standard background checks. Fiserv and certain of its affiliated companies are federal, state, and/or local government contractors. Should this position support a Federal Government contract, now or in the future, the successful candidate will be subject to a background check conducted by the U.S. Government to determine eligibility and suitability for federal contract employment for public trust or sensitive positions. Positions that support state and/or local contracts also may require additional background checks to determine eligibility and suitability. #LI-MK1 Salary Range $110,000.00 - $186,000.00 These pay ranges apply to employees in New Jersey and New York. Pay ranges for employees in other states may differ. It is unlawful to discriminate against a prospective employee due to the individual's status as a veteran. For incentive eligible associates, the successful candidate is eligible for an annual incentive opportunity which may be delivered as a mix of cash bonus and equity awards in the Company's sole discretion. ## Related Videos - [Agentic AI Systems for Critical Workloads](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1592-agentic-ai-systems-for-critical-workloads) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [How Unit Testing Saved My Career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1642-how-unit-testing-saved-my-career) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [From boy scouting to redrawing the landscape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1140-from-boy-scouting-to-redrawing-the-landscape) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025)
