We are the leading Tech Company in Europe, supporting digital innovation for over 45 years.

We are committed to bringing digital technology into every business. How? By putting customers first and becoming the go-to partner for professionals, small, medium and large companies, offering customised solutions and services to optimise business processes, from HR and customer relations to e-invoicing and digital payments.

The Research and Development team is the beating heart of the Group's innovation. We are constantly committed to researching and developing new technologies and solutions to anticipate market needs and exceed our customers' expectations. We invest significantly in artificial intelligence (AI), exploring its potential to develop innovative solutions and improve our products and services.

Lead a tight-knit team, charting the course and nurturing talent to deliver innovative projects in the field of AI Agent orchestration, with the aim of building and evolving the AI product that powers multiple AI agent systems at scale, handles context, authorization and memory.

In particular, you will:

Lead and grow a team of AI software engineers working on agent orchestration and multi-agent workflows.
Remain hands-on with the codebase and conducting tech reviews.
Continuously experiment with state-of-the-art frontier models and the latest evaluation harnesses, assessing them in real-world scenarios and integrating what truly works into the platform.
Define the team’s technical priorities together with TeamSystem product teams and the broader AI platform organization, with a strong focus on outcomes and delivery.
Work closely with the Architecture team to ensure the platform architecture is robust, scalable, and observable.
Define the evolution of TeamSystem’s agentic architecture, including its components, APIs, and standards.

What skills are we looking for?

At least 5 years of experience in software engineering (or related fields), with solid software engineering foundations including system design, quality, and modern development practices.
Hands-on experience with AI technologies, including models, memory, evaluation harnesses, and context management. We are looking for someone who has personally experimented with and built solutions using these technologies, and who closely follows the evolution of frontier models.
Experience building platforms or services used by other development teams, including API design, developer experience, and managing cross-team dependencies.
Curiosity and a strong experimental mindset, with the ability to prototype quickly, test new approaches, and learn from failures.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional environments in both Italian and English.

Skills are important, but they are not enough. We seek individuals who, thanks to their growth mindset, view every challenge as an opportunity for growth and who embody the soft skills that set us apart, bringing our values to life.

Total compensation: € 57.000 – € 78.000 Including a variable component linked to performance. Full-time reference.
