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.Asegúrese de leer la descripción completa a continuación y, si confía en que cumple todos los requisitos, envíe su solicitud de inmediato.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’s also how automations earn trust – they have to be robust enough that teams rely on them and make fewer manual mistakes, not more.Set the standard, then grow the team: You’re the first hire and the template for everyone who follows.As the work justifies it, you’ll have the chance to lead a small (2–3 person) team focused entirely on AI adoption across R&D.Who; are you?There is no set route into this role.But to be successful, this is the kind of profile we have in mind:Deep, current agentic AI: You live in this space.You know the tools, the patterns and the limits, and you genuinely believe agents can absorb work that’s done by hand today.Empirical about what actually works: And precisely because you believe in agents, you’re honest about when something is just a script.You choose the simplest thing that reliably works.This pairing – conviction plus sober judgment – is the whole job.A strong generalist who ships: You build and deliver,



not just design.You’re fluent enough across backend, scripting, CI/CD and tooling to automate almost anything you find.You go after repetitive work: You see manual, repetitive tasks as a problem to solve, and you ask “how often, and how costly?” before deciding what’s worth automating.You earn trust and build alongside people: You embed, listen, and build with a team rather than dropping finished tools on them.Collaborative, not lone-wolf.Fresh eyes, no baggage: You do NOT need mobile or security experience.We want someone who looks at entrenched workflows and questions them – not someone who has already accepted them as normal.Product / platform mindset: Your users are our engineers;

the time you giveback to them is your product.Leadership is upside, not a requirement: If you want to grow into leading the team, great.If you’d rather stay hands-on and deep, also great.Fluent in English (essential);

Spanish is highlyvalued for working day-to-day with our Barcelona-based teams.Practically Speaking, what's in it for you:- A rare greenfield mandate – you define how a whole organization adopts agentic AI, starting from a blank page.Freedom to bring the right tools – you’ll start from our current stack (Claude, our core languages and tooling) and have real latitude to introduce whatever works better.Teams who want this – the managers are asking for the help and are ready to work with you.Simplicity – because we like to make things easy and practical.Beautiful office in the heart of Barcelona – with regular team events (breakfast, lunch…).Good transport connections – easy to reach by public transport. xhfqzwm Versátil working hours & hybrid working.#LI-Hybrid#LI-LS1
