Senior Software Engineer - Agentic Platform

nCino offers exciting career opportunities for individuals who want to join the worldwide leader in cloud banking.

Join nCino's Intelligence Platform team and play a central role in building the agentic operating system powering the future of banking software. What started as a conversational AI interface has evolved into a full agentic platform. At the center of the transformation, this team has been building the platform that enables agents for both nCino's internal teams and its partner firms and customers.

This is an AWS-first engineering role where you'll design and implement agentic AI systems using services like AWS Bedrock and AgentCore, with TypeScript and Python as your primary languages. You'll lead initiatives, partner on others, and rotate through the full spectrum of technical ownership across the team, from proof-of-concepts and high-level system design through shipping production-grade technology that banks and partner consulting firms will rely on.

Beyond the build you'll bring platform thinking to everything you do, helping teams across the organization adopt AI capabilities rather than reinvent them. The AI landscape moves fast and so does this team, so you'll need the technical depth to lead and the adaptability to pivot when the next capability changes the plan. This role is based onsite in Wilmington, NC, where the full Intelligence Platform team works together.
