Junior Software Engineer - Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation

Location- Phoenix, AZ ( onsite)

About the Role

Building the AI capability that will run inside our core shipping, logistics, and customer-facing systems. We are hiring two early-career engineers to build production AI agents and automations — both on low-code platforms (Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, AI Builder) and in pro-code (Python, Java, TypeScript) where the problem demands it.

This is a builder role, not a support role. You will own agents end to end: talk to the business user, understand the process, design the flow, build it, test it, and take it to production.

What You'll Do

Build and ship AI agents and automated workflows on Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and AI Builder for business teams across Commercial, Logistics, Terminals, and Finance

Develop pro-code components where low-code hits its limits — API integrations, custom connectors, data extraction services, MCP tool servers

Sit with business users to understand a process before automating it, and translate what you hear into a working design

Write clean, reviewable code and follow SDLC discipline: version control, code review, testing, CI/CD, structured deployment across DEV/UAT/PROD

Instrument what you build — logging, error handling, and enough observability that someone else can diagnose it at 2am

Participate in Agile ceremonies, keep your work visible in Jira, and communicate status without being chased

Rotate through our internal AI support channel, fielding agent-development questions from business users across the company

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field

Approximately 6 months of professional software engineering experience (internship, co-op, or full-time)

Working proficiency in at least one modern programming language — Python, Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, or similar

Demonstrated understanding of software engineering fundamentals: data structures and algorithms, complexity reasoning, API design, relational databases and SQL

Familiarity with the software development lifecycle — requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance — and with Git-based version control

Ability to explain technical work clearly to a non-technical business audience, in writing and verbally

Strong analytical skills: able to decompose an ambiguous business process into concrete steps, inputs, outputs, and failure cases

Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future

Preferred Qualifications

Exposure to LLM application development — prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings and vector stores, agent frameworks (LangChain, Spring AI, or equivalent)

Experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Copilot Studio, AI Builder, Dataverse) or another low-code automation platform

Cloud experience with AWS or Azure; containerization with Docker; CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent)

Experience building or consuming REST APIs and integrating disparate systems

Coursework, projects, or internship work involving workflow automation, document/data extraction, or conversational interfaces

Cloud certification (e.g., AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, Microsoft PL-900/AI-900)

What We're Looking For

We care less about the specific stack on your resume than about three things:

You finish things. You can take a vague ask and return with something working, without needing the problem pre-solved for you.

You communicate. You can walk a business stakeholder through what you built and why, and you flag problems early rather than late.

You learn fast. The agentic tooling landscape changes every quarter. We expect you to pick up new platforms on your own and form opinions about when to use them.

Why join Sonata Software?

At Sonata, you´ll have an outstanding opportunity. The chance to use your skills and imagination to push the boundaries of what´s possible. To build never seen before solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems. You´ll be challenged, but you will not be alone. You´ll be joining a team of diverse innovators, all driven to go beyond the status quo to craft what comes next.

Sonata Software is an Equal Opportunity Employer encouraging diversity in the workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, national origin, gender identity, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, marital status, or any other characteristics protected by law.
