At OneSpan, we specialize in digital identity and anti-fraud solutions that create exceptional and secure experiences.

We’re looking for an engineer who is genuinely on top of agentic AI – someone who believes agents can take over work that today ties up whole people, and who can prove it inside real engineering teams. This is a founding role. You’ll embed with our R&D; teams, find the manual, repetitive work that slows them down, and build the automations – agentic where that’s the right tool, plain scripting where it isn’t – that give them their time back. Our engineers are strong and overloaded; your job is to make them much more productive without adding to their plate. Do this well and you’ll grow it into a small team you lead.

Here is a little taste of your challenge:

• Embed and find the work worth removing: Shadow our R&D; teams to learn how work really flows, and find the bottlenecks and repetitive manual work hiding in plain sight. Rank opportunities by how often they happen and how much they cost – not by how interesting they are to build.



Testing and QA processes are often the richest place to start.

• Prioritise with each team’s manager: The managers want this help – you’ll agree with each of them what to tackle first and the time to protect for it, so the highest-value work gets done.

• Build it – agent-first, but not agent-only: Design and ship the solution end-to-end. Reach for agents where judgment and language are in the loop; reach for a script, pipeline or bit of tooling where that’s simply more reliable. A simple, dependable solution is worth more than a clever one that breaks.

• Build for handover, so the team can own it: You build with the team, not for them – and because each team owns its automations after handover, you design them to be owned: documented, monitored where it matters, and maintainable by a normal engineer on that team. A handover isn’t “here’s a tool,” it’s “here’s something your team can run and improve without me.” That
