Junior AI-Native Developer

There are NO limits to your career: come shape the future and be part of a truly unique global culture at OutSystems!

About the OutSystems Digital Team

We are the digital backbone of OutSystems' growth — building the enterprise applications, integrations, and AI agents that accelerate the company into the AI-powered era. We work in small, high-autonomy teams of two to five people, each with full AI tooling, a clear mission, and the authority to ship.

The Role

This is not a traditional junior developer role. You will not spend your first year writing boilerplate or waiting for tickets. You will join an existing team, contribute to a live portfolio of products from early on, and spend most of your energy building new things that did not exist before.

The balance we aim for is roughly seventy percent innovation — new features, new agents, new integrations — and thirty percent maintaining and evolving what is already running. You will do both. The live systems you help maintain will teach you more about production quality than any new project can.

We are looking for people who learn by doing, who find a way when they hit a wall, and who see AI tools as the fastest path from an idea to something working — not as a shortcut, but as a craft.

What You Will Own

• Features you build under team guidance that ship to production — real users, real consequences, from early on; not demos, not staging environments that nobody looks at
• Your share of the existing portfolio — you will understand the applications the team maintains well enough to extend them without breaking things, and well enough to know when something needs escalating
• Quality of AI output before it merges — the most critical skill you will develop is the ability to tell when AI-generated code is correct versus merely plausible; you build that instinct by applying it every day
• Context you generate that makes the team faster — the notes, the assumptions documented, the decisions captured; in a small team with AI tools, good context compounds into better output for everyone
• Your own growth, actively — at 12 months you are running focused explorations on well-defined problems independently and returning with something real; at 18 months you are being considered for broader ownership

The Behaviors We Are Looking For

We care far more about mindset and trajectory than credentials. Here is what we are actually evaluating:

• You have built something with AI tools. Anything real, even imperfect — a prototype, a personal project, a workflow you automated. You did not just read about it or complete a course.
• When you hit a wall, you find another way. Your first instinct is not to ask for permission or wait for someone to unblock you. You try things, you document what you tried, and you ask when you have evidence.
• You are honest about what you do not know. You know the difference between understanding something and having produced a plausible-sounding explanation of it. You surface uncertainty rather than hiding it.
• You treat what is already running with respect. Live systems have users who depend on them. You are careful before you change something you did not build, and you ask when you are unsure of the consequences.
• You share what you learn. You read, you experiment, and you tell the team what you found — including when something did not work. Knowledge generosity is a core team value.
• You are comfortable with incomplete information. You can make progress without a complete requirements document. You build something, learn from it, and sharpen from there.

This Is Not For You If...

• You have only read about AI tools but have never built anything with them
• Ambiguity stalls you — you need clear instructions before you can start
• You consider maintaining existing systems to be beneath the role you want
• You prefer to work alone and keep what you learn to yourself
• You treat asking for help as the first response to a problem, not the third

What You Will Learn

• How to build and maintain production-grade OutSystems applications with AI assistance
• How to integrate Claude, GPT, and other LLMs into enterprise applications via OutSystems
• How to evaluate AI output at the architectural level — not just whether it runs, but whether it is right
• Enterprise AI governance: how to build systems that are fast, correct, and compliant at the same time
• Context engineering: specifying problems so completely that AI agents can solve them without follow-up

Why Join

The skills you will develop here — context engineering, AI agent validation, enterprise-grade agentic development — are genuinely new. They are not in any curriculum. You will learn them by applying them in production, on real systems, alongside people who are figuring them out at the same frontier.

You will not be a junior developer waiting for permission. You will be a contributor in a small team where your output matters from day one — and where the ceiling on your growth is set by how fast you learn, not by how long you have been here.
