Bentley Systems is seeking a talented AISystems Modernization Developer to become a valued member of a dedicated AI expert team. This global team’s main responsibilities are to innovate the use of AI techniques, including multi‑stage agentic workflows, to automatically convert and upscale academic or legacy code into cloud native services and apps. The team will collaborate with, support, and guide other software developers in the company around AI topics.

Note that this team is starting this year, so the first team members will have a strong influence on the direction of the team. Given that this is a new domain, the team will be in a leadership position to contribute to, evangelize, and operationalize this vision for the company. The team will also run programs in support of best practices across the company.

This position should appeal to candidates who enjoy bleeding‑edge technology, deep technical discussions, and who want to be exposed to a variety of tech stacks.

• Create rigorous and hardened test suites to ensure that converted code is accurate
• Continuous research and continuous improvement to our AI workflows to ensure we are always using the best AI tools and processes to do automated code conversion and modernization
• Manual evaluation of the quality of the conversion of code for the difficult‑to‑analyze portion of the code
• A key part of the team’s role is to avoid this as much as possible
• Establish the limits of what we can and cannot do with various technologies
• Continuously monitor and adjust the trade‑offs between speed, cost and quality of conversion
• Train developers and/or create educational support

• Strong interest in AI for coding
• Strong problem‑solving capabilities
• Good knowledge of at least some legacy (e.g., C, Fortran) and some new languages (e.g., Rust, .NET, and Type Script) to be able to compare converted code
• At least understand old and new usual code patterns
• Familiarity with numerical precision across language runtimes
• Capability to research a new topic and learn quickly
• Experience breaking down complex systems to analyze them
