AI Platform Engineer
First seen by Alion on Nov 13, 2026.
Join the Revolution in Commercial Vehicle Tech at Coretura!
Our AI Lab builds the shared platform that teams across Coretura use to develop and run AI products safely and reliably. We're looking for a senior software engineer to help design, build and run it.
What you’ll do
You will work with the AI Lab to set the platform's technical direction, and take on a large share of the hands-on work yourself. Together, you'll build the platform that gives teams access to AI models across providers, manages and retrieves the data their AI products rely on, and provides the harnesses agents are built and run in. You'll also build agents yourself, and the observability that shows whether an AI product is giving the right answers, not just whether it's running.
Beyond that, your work will include:
Security and safety by level: controls and evaluations that scale with how autonomous an AI system is and how safety-critical its use is, from everyday AI tools to autonomous agents, with prompt injection defences built in. The higher the level, the more a system has to prove before release and the more closely it's monitored once live. You'll build this together with our Security Hub.
Cost and resilience: usage metering built into the platform so teams can see what their AI products consume, and recovery tested for each AI product as a whole (model, knowledge base, prompts and tool integrations), not just the servers it runs on.
AI assets as code: prompts, agent definitions, model versions and evaluation datasets, versioned and released through automated pipelines. They change often and any change can shift how a product behaves, so every change is automatically tested, evaluated and traceable before it ships.
Build to discover, then share what you learn. When we need to know whether an approach works, you build a working version, then use it to help colleagues across Coretura understand what works, what doesn't and why. As a senior engineer, you'll combine those findings with your own experience to help set where the platform goes next. You'll use AI coding agents in your own daily work and help other engineers adopt them safely. You'll also review designs and code, mentor the engineers around you, and hand over ownership of components as they're ready for it.
You'll report to the AI Lab Lead and work closely with our Digital Architect and the teams behind our developer and data platforms.
What you bring
A solid background in software engineering, but we care far more about what you've done than how long you've been doing it. You've owned a production system end to end, including its roadmap, incidents and costs, and you've handed parts of it over to other engineers along the way.
You're comfortable with:
Using AI coding agents as a normal part of how you write code, with work you can show for it
Building AI applications that people can rely on: agents, retrieval (RAG), model APIs and gateways, along with the evaluations that show they behave as intended
Defining cloud infrastructure in code and shipping through CI/CD as part of how you build software, with the observability to see how it behaves once it's running
Practical security, from least privilege and secrets management to prompt injection defences
Writing well-tested, maintainable code in whatever language the problem calls for, and picking up a new one when you need to
You look for more efficient ways to build and run things, bring structure to an unclear situation without locking it down too early, and can explain a trade-off so that engineers, security and leadership all understand it. Fluent English is a must.
Why Coretura?
We're a joint venture between Volvo Group and Daimler Truck, building a shared software platform for the next generation of commercial vehicles. We're a young company with very little legacy to work around, backed by two of the world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturers.
The AI platform serves teams across the company, so your work will directly affect how they build and ship software.
If this sounds like the work you want to do, we look forward to your application.
