This role will partner directly with developers, business analysts, quality assurance engineers, architects, operations teams, and product leaders to turn practical day-to-day needs into secure, measurable productivity improvements.\nThe ideal candidate combines software engineering and applied AI experience with the patience, credibility, and interpersonal effectiveness needed to help individuals learn new approaches and build confidence using them. This person will evaluate new tools, expand the use of AI capabilities already available within enterprise products, build targeted automations and agents, lead training and adoption, and report results using balanced measures of efficiency, quality, risk, and user experience.\nABOUT THE COMPANY\nThoriva is an AI technology company delivering intelligent, data-driven solutions to transform government operations. We combine AI solutions, commercial expertise, and complex business logic to address government and federal agencies’ biggest challenges.\nJOB SUMMARY\nAs the Senior AI Productivity Engineer, you will own a practical program for applying AI to the software delivery lifecycle and related product operations for Thoriva Loan Platforms. You will work alongside teams supporting mainframe and COBOL applications, open-system applications built with technologies such as .NET and Java, scripting and automation solutions, test platforms, operational tooling, and technical documentation.\nYou will identify high-value opportunities, prototype and implement solutions, define safe-use patterns, coach teams through adoption, and measure whether each capability improves real work. Solutions may include commercially available AI tools, AI features embedded in existing products, internally developed AI agents and multi-agent workflows, or integrations that securely connect approved models with development tools, enterprise systems, and knowledge sources. The role is expected to remain close to users after rollout, identifying repeatable tasks appropriate for agent-based automation and using feedback and observed workflow needs to refine solutions and improve adoption over time.\nKey Responsibilities\nPartner with product and technical teams to understand daily workflows, recurring friction, manual effort, quality concerns, and knowledge gaps that may be improved through AI-assisted tools or automation.\n\nCreate and maintain an AI productivity roadmap that prioritizes opportunities based on business value, user impact, implementation effort, technical feasibility, security, compliance, and measurable outcomes.\n\nEvaluate new AI productivity products and identify useful AI capabilities within existing enterprise tools; lead structured pilots, document findings, and recommend adoption, refinement, or retirement decisions.\n\nDesign, prototype, and implement AI-assisted workflows, agents, integrations, prompts, scripts, and reusable components that support technical and product delivery.\n\nEnable productivity use cases such as code generation and completion, code explanation, refactoring, legacy-code understanding and documentation generation, unit-test generation, code review assistance, defect analysis, debugging support, and secure dependency or vulnerability remediation.\n\nDevelop solutions for document ingestion, classification, summarization, comparison, traceability, and knowledge retrieval, including extraction of requirements, business rules, acceptance criteria, dependencies, risks, and open questions from complex source materials.\n\nApply AI to accelerate creation and maintenance of functional requirements, technical designs, architecture documentation, data mappings, test plans, test cases, test data strategies, release notes, runbooks, knowledge articles, and other software lifecycle artifacts.\n\nDefine agent operating boundaries, permissions, data access, escalation paths, approval points, exception handling, observability, and audit requirements so automated actions remain secure, explainable, reversible where appropriate, and accountable to a human owner.\n\nExplore AI-assisted test automation, including generation and maintenance of test scenarios and scripts, regression-impact analysis, synthetic test data support, defect clustering, and analysis of test results across mainframe and distributed applications.\n\nSupport modernization and knowledge-transfer activities by helping teams analyze COBOL, JCL, CICS, DB2, batch processing, interfaces, .NET, Java, APIs, databases, and scripts without losing critical business context or established controls.\n\nDefine reusable prompting, context-management, retrieval, evaluation, and human-review practices appropriate for regulated, business-critical software environments.\n\nEstablish training and enablement plans that include role-based learning, demonstrations, hands-on working sessions, office hours, job aids, champions, and follow-up coaching tailored to different experience and confidence levels.\n\nWork directly with individuals and teams during adoption, listen to concerns, respond constructively to feedback, and adjust tools and methods so improvements are understandable, practical, and sustainable.\n\nDefine adoption and outcome measures before implementation; report usage, time saved, cycle-time changes, quality indicators, rework, user feedback, and other relevant results without relying on activity volume alone.\n\nEstablish feedback loops and continuously improve solutions based on actual team usage, changing priorities, support needs, model behavior, and lessons learned from production use.\n\nPartner with security, privacy, legal, architecture, compliance, and technology leaders to ensure approved data handling, access controls, intellectual-property protections, auditability, model governance, and responsible AI practices.\n\nStay current on changes in
