AI-Enabled SW Engineer - Talent Pool
About the role:
Wrike is building a new generation of engineers who pair solid Java fundamentals with genuine, hands-on AI fluency. This isn’t a fixed lane for a 10-year veteran. It’s a newly created talent track for someone who already builds with AI as a natural part of their job- and wants to grow into full end-to-end ownership over the next year or two, with a clear, supported path to do so.
We evaluate this role on what you’ve actually built and how you work, not on years of tenure. If you have a strong Java base and real curiosity about AI-assisted development- not just awareness of it- this is worth a conversation.
You’ll sit inside one of our cross-functional Scrum teams and work on real product features from day one- not isolated tickets handed down with every decision pre-made. You’ll get more ownership as you demonstrate it: starting with clearly-scoped backend work and growing toward the kind of end-to-end, full-stack ownership our senior builders have.
AI tools are not optional here. You’re expected to work AI-native from day one: using them daily as part of your toolkit, experimenting, and deliberately getting better at AI-assisted development to remove friction from your workflow.
Your Impact:
- Build and ship backend features in Java/Spring, with growing exposure to the full stack as you take on more scope across modern frontend technologies (TypeScript, React 19) and legacy components
- Work directly with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude/Codex, our internal AI portal, and MCP) as a daily part of how you build- experimenting and finding new ways to save real time
- Write automated tests, take part in code reviews, and contribute to task estimation and technical planning
- Navigate an existing, living codebase- learning what to reuse, where rebuilding makes sense, and how to hold the line against tech debt
- Take increasing ownership of features as you build trust- this is a growth track designed to transition you into a full end-to-end owner
- Work closely with senior engineers and teams, picking up the critical thinking and judgment calls that come with full system ownership
Your Qualifications:
- A solid foundation in backend engineering, with comfort in Java (21), Spring, REST APIs, and SQL, TypeScript, React 19
- Genuine curiosity about and active use of AI coding tools- not avoidance, not just “awareness,” but a desire to push past the learning curve
- Evidence of things you’ve actually built and shipped, even at a smaller scope- we care more about what you’ve done than your title or years of experience
- A growth mindset: comfortable navigating a non-trivial codebase and taking on more ambiguity as you prove you can handle it
- Good collaboration instincts- you ask questions, raise issues early, and work seamlessly within a cross-functional team
Our stack:
- Java (21), Spring, REST APIs, SQL
- TypeScript, React 19, Redux, Dart
- PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ
- Unit/integration testing, Java web stack
- AI tooling: Cursor, Claude/Codex, Zencoder, internal AI portal, internal MCP

Who Is Wrike and Our Culture
We’re a team of innovators and creators who solve the complex work problems of today and tomorrow. Hybrid work modeWrike is our people, not a place. With 1,000+ employees collaborating across nearly every time zone, we support talent through 10 global hubs — Australia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, France, India, Ireland, Japan, and the United States — offering flexible ways of working that include remote work, hybrid environments, and co-working spaces across many locations. While flexibility looks different across teams and regions, employees located near certain hubs — particularly in Prague (CZ), Nicosia (CY), Bangalore (IN), and Rennes (FR) — are generally expected to collaborate in person around 2–3 days per week, balancing the flexibility of distributed work with opportunities for in-person collaboration and connection.
