AI-Enabled SW Engineer - Talent Pool

Wrike is the most powerful work management platform. Built for teams and organizations looking to collaborate, create, and exceed every day, Wrike brings everyone and all work into a single place to remove complexity, increase productivity, and free people up to focus on their most purposeful work. Our vision: A world where everyone is free to focus on their most purposeful work, together. 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 ho w 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...
