Position Summary We are hiring a Software Dev Engineer to design, build, test, and deploy AI-powered applications. You will work across the full application lifecycle — from architecture and implementation through automated testing, CI/CD deployment, and production monitoring — building features that put large language models and agentic tooling to work inside SonicWall's internal systems. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone with 6–8 years of professional software development experience who is comfortable owning services end to end: writing production-quality code, integrating LLM and agentic APIs, standing up reliable data and retrieval pipelines, and shipping through a disciplined test-and-release process. You will collaborate closely with senior engineers, product stakeholders, and platform teams to turn requirements into dependable, well-tested applications. Key Responsibilities • Develop AI applications: Design and build features and services that use LLM and agentic capabilities — prompting, tool/function calling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and orchestration — to solve real internal business problems. • Write production code: Implement clean, maintainable, well-documented backend and integration code in C# and .NET, following established architecture and coding standards. • Test thoroughly: Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; build and maintain automated test suites; validate output quality and correctness for AI-driven features before release. • Deploy and operate: Package, deploy, and support applications through CI/CD pipelines; monitor performance, reliability, and cost in production; troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly. • Integrate with enterprise systems: Connect applications to internal and third-party systems and data sources via REST/JSON APIs, MCP servers, and the iPaaS layer, respecting access controls and data-handling rules. • Engineer for quality and safety: Implement evaluation, guardrails, logging, and observability so AI features behave predictably and safely at production scale. • Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with senior engineers, product owners, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical designs, and participate actively in code review. • Document and hand-off: Produce clear technical documentation and runbooks so applications are supportable by the broader team. Required Qualifications • Experience: 6–8 years of professional software development experience, including building and shipping production applications. • Programming: Strong proficiency in C# and .NET, plus solid REST/JSON API design skills. • AI application development: Hands-on experience building applications that integrate LLMs — prompting, function/tool calling, RAG, and use of orchestration frameworks such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP). • Testing: Practical experience with automated testing — unit, integration, and end-to-end — and a disciplined approach to quality assurance. • Deployment: Experience with CI/CD pipel
