Job description
At CI&T, we help large enterprises transform the potential of AI into real business impact with AI Deployment, AI-native execution, and tech-integrated business solutions.
With 30 years of experience in technological transformation, we accelerate innovation with expertise in Agentic SDLC, Application modernization, Data & AI, Martech and Business strategy.
We are 8,000 CI&Ters across more than 25 countries, collaborating to build solutions with real impact. AI is already part of how we work, evolve, and innovate every day.
This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who combines deep technical knowledge of enterprise Java systems with a practical understanding of modern AI-enabled engineering workflows. You will work directly with existing applications and engineering teams, using AI development tools to understand complex codebases, accelerate development, modernize legacy systems, improve test coverage, and support structured software development practices.
Responsibilities:
- Work hands-on with complex, existing Java applications and enterprise codebases.
- Analyze and reverse-engineer existing systems to understand architecture, dependencies, business logic, and technical constraints.
- Use AI-assisted development tools as an integral part of the engineering workflow, including code generation, analysis, refactoring, testing, and documentation.
- Apply structured AI development approaches, including reverse engineering, Spec-Driven
- Development (SDD), and automated test generation.
- Refactor and modernize existing Java applications, including the removal or replacement of legacy dependencies and outdated components.
- Generate and improve automated tests to support safe modernization and refactoring.
- Collaborate closely with engineering teams and stakeholders to translate requirements and existing system behavior into maintainable technical solutions.
- Help establish effective, repeatable AI-assisted development practices that can be shared across engineering teams.
- Maintain high standards for code quality, maintainability, testing, and software engineering best practices.
Requirements:
- Strong Java development experience, ideally within enterprise environments and complex existing systems.
- Strong hands-on experience with Java application development, maintenance, refactoring, and modernization.
- At least 3 months of hands-on experience using Copilot as the primary AI code-generation tool within a team project, OR at least 6 months of practical experience with comparable
- AI coding tools, such as Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity, or similar.
- Practical experience with shared, structured AI development workflows, particularly reverse engineering and/or Spec-Driven Development (SDD).
- Hands-on experience using AI-assisted workflows for test generation.
- Practical experience refactoring existing Java systems to remove or replace legacy dependencies.
- Strong ability to understand and navigate unfamiliar and complex codebases.
- Solid software engineering fundamentals, including clean code, automated testing, version control, and collaborative development practices.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams and stakeholders.
Nice to Have:
- Hands-on experience with Java 17 and Java 21.
- Experience working with SQL (relational) databases.
- Familiarity with NoSQL databases

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for CI&T. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
