Job description

We are driven to do more. More for our customers and the financial professionals who offer our products. If you are driven to do more and love the challenge of pursuing more, Athene is your kind of company. You will find we offer more than the basics to create an inclusive and dynamic work environment at our various locations.

Purpose:

Join Athene's Developer Services team as a Software Engineer and help shape how software is built across the enterprise. As a Software Engineer, you'll develop the platforms, reusable tools, automation, and engineering practices that enable teams to build high-quality software faster, more securely, and with greater consistency.
You'll have the opportunity to help evolve Athene's software development lifecycle toward an AI-enabled, agentic model-building reusable AI skills and agents, supporting the Coder developer platform, and helping engineers adopt modern cloud-native and AI-assisted development practices. At Athene, innovation and a bias for action are part of how we operate. Our scale and strategic relationship with Apollo create opportunities to solve meaningful technology challenges while working in a culture grounded in our BEAM values: Believe in your co-workers, Engage actively, Act like owners, and Make it happen.

Accountabilities:

Key Deliverables

  • Design, build, and maintain application reference architectures, reusable templates, engineering patterns, and implementation guidance that accelerate software delivery across Athene.

  • Develop AI-enabled engineering capabilities, including reusable skills, agents, and tooling, and enable teams building agentic workloads using technologies such as Amazon Bedrock and Claude Code.

  • Build and enhance internal developer platforms, tooling, automation, and web applications-including the Coder developer platform-to create secure, reliable, and productive development environments.

  • Establish and promote modern software engineering practices across AI-assisted development, cloud-native engineering, DevOps, testing, and the software development lifecycle.

  • Partner with engineering teams through hands-on consulting, code reviews, workshops, and training to solve technical challenges and drive adoption of shared tools and practices.

  • Continuously evaluate emerging technologies and creatively apply them to improve developer experience, software quality, engineering efficiency, and delivery throughput.


Qualifications and Experience:

What You Need to Bring

  • 3+ years of relevant experience in software engineering, application development, developer tooling, platform engineering, or relevant experience.

  • Hands-on web development experience using Python, TypeScript, React, or a comparable modern technology stack, with a strong understanding of software development lifecycle practices.

  • Experience developing solutions on AWS or another public cloud platform; exposure to CI/CD, infrastructure automation, DevOps, or cloud-native engineering practices is preferred.

  • Experience with or demonstrated interest in AI-assisted software development and agentic technologies; experience with Amazon Bedrock, Claude Code, AI agents, or similar technologies is a plus.

  • Strong critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, with the adaptability and bias for action to evaluate complex challenges, experiment with new approaches, learn quickly, and deliver practical solutions.

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, a related field, or equivalent experience.
