This is a remote position.
**Senior Developer – AI\-Enabled Systems (Remote, Global)**
**Reports To:** Development Team Lead
**The Culture**
We are building a data\-driven, AI\-empowered, Top 10 Best Workplace that values Integrity, Accountability, People and Innovation.
At Best Access Doors, AI is embedded into how we build software, not as a shortcut, but as a force multiplier. Our engineering team leverages AI to accelerate development while maintaining rigorous standards for quality, security, reliability, and business impact. We value engineers who combine technical excellence with sound judgment, ownership, and a passion for building scalable systems that solve real business problems.
**The Mission: What You Will Solve**
We're not looking for someone to maintain the status quo; we're looking for a trailblazer.
Your primary mission will be to architect and deliver secure, scalable AI\-enabled systems that improve how our business operates. You'll lead the design of intelligent automations, AI agents, and platform integrations while establishing the engineering standards, validation processes, and technical direction that enable our development team to confidently build production\-ready AI solutions.
Working closely with business stakeholders, the Development Team Lead, and fellow developers, you'll transform complex business challenges into reliable software while mentoring others and continuously improving our AI\-first development practices.
**Our Values (Hiring for Fit)**
We hire for culture first. During the interview process, we will look for specific examples of how you demonstrate these values:
Integrity: You validate AI\-generated code before it reaches production, make architectural decisions based on evidence rather than assumptions, communicate technical risks honestly, and protect the security, privacy, and integrity of business data.
Accountability: You take ownership of complex systems from architecture through long\-term maintenance. You proactively identify risks, solve root causes instead of symptoms, and deliver dependable solutions that the business can trust.
People: You elevate the people around you by mentoring developers, sharing knowledge, conducting thoughtful code reviews, collaborating effectively with technical and non\-technical teams, and designing technology that improves the experience of employees and customers.
Innovation: You continuously explore emerging AI capabilities, evaluate new technologies critically, establish better engineering practices, and implement automation that creates measurable business value without sacrificing quality or maintainability.
**Success in this role means:**
AI\-enabled systems are designed, deployed, and maintained with high levels of reliability, security, scalability, and measurable business impact.
Engineering standards for AI\-assisted development, architecture, testing, validation, and production monitoring are consistently adopted across the development team.
Developers are more productive, systems become easier to maintain, and AI initiatives deliver sustainable operational improvements across the organization.
