What this job asks for AI summary
A Senior Software Engineer role at Caterpillar focused on designing, building, and deploying backend RESTful API services using Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture on AWS. The position involves technical leadership on a cross-functional Agile team — guiding implementation decisions, mentoring engineers, and driving engineering excellence in CI/CD, observability, and testing. Candidates with experience in AI-assisted development workflows and production AI agent tooling are especially competitive.

Long application — this platform typically asks you to create an account and re-enter your work history.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (5)
The posting lists no minimum total years of experience at the role level — only capability-based requirements are stated.
AWS is named in the required section alongside 'or Azure' as a substitution qualifier; Azure is captured as an alternative rather than a separate required skill.
AI-assisted development knowledge (reviewing/validating AI-generated code, responsible AI usage) is listed under the 'Top Candidates Will Have' section, which reads as a strong-preferred / differentiator block rather than a hard gate — these were not broken out as separate skills since they name no specific tool.
The 'Nice to Have' section explicitly covers Python, LangChain/LangGraph, LLM integrations, eval/guardrail design, multi-agent workflows, prompt optimization, and MLOps — all marked as preferred accordingly.
The role is fully on-site five days a week in Irving, TX (Dallas metro); relocation and visa sponsorship are both available.
