Lead/Principal AI Developer

We’re building a new AI Code Modernization team focused on transforming large-scale, legacy software systems using state-of-the-art AI automation. This role blends deep technical experimentation with hands-on impact: you’ll design, test, and refine AI-driven pipelines that modernize codebases across languages, improve performance and security, and automatically move systems toward cloud‑native architectures.

Unlike traditional software engineering or long-horizon research, this role operates at the intersection of applied AI, systems engineering, and large‑scale code transformation. You’ll work with advanced AI agents and transformation frameworks to deliver real, production‑grade results today—not in five years. A scientific, curious mindset is key, alongside the ability to iterate quickly, validate outcomes, and shape emerging best practices in a rapidly evolving space.

At Bentley, this work has purpose: our technologies power real‑world infrastructure—roads, br...
