The role

The project...

Lead the product that is redefining how software is built within Mapfre, powered by AI agents.

In the Corporate Technology Area, Reef Lab team, we are looking for the person who will set the technical course for a cutting-edge platform that incorporates AI agents into every phase of the software development lifecycle: from requirements generation to development and automated testing. This is not just another project: it is Mapfre's commitment to radically transforming the way technology is built.

What exactly is this platform? It is a proprietary Mapfre product that covers the software development lifecycle from end to end: specialized AI agents help define and complete project requirements, generate and review code, build interfaces, and execute testing automatically. The goal is to accelerate each of those phases by relying on AI agents, and to become Mapfre's internal standard for developing AI-assisted software.

In this role, you will not only lead the product vision and roadmap: you will also set the guidelines that AI agents follow in each phase of the lifecycle, and you will be the technical reference for teams in different countries using the platform.

This platform is not limited to a single market: it is designed to be deployed in all the countries where Mapfre has a presence. Whoever joins will be part of a project with true international scope, with a direct impact on teams and users across multiple geographies, and with the professional projection that entails.

What you'll do

  • Define and prioritize the platform vision and roadmap, understanding the technical detail of each phase of the software lifecycle.
  • Work side by side with the development, AI, and infrastructure teams to decide how the platform should evolve.
  • Translate business and development team needs into actionable requirements for AI agents and technical teams.
  • Be the technical point of reference for stakeholders across different countries and areas.
  • Validate technical and product design decisions with your own judgment, without losing sight of the end-user experience.
  • Define product and platform adoption metrics, and use them to adjust priorities with real data.
  • Manage the backlog and the relationship with multiple development teams distributed across different countries.
  • Provide support and resolve doubts for teams in different countries building projects supported by the platform.

Skills we require

  • Experience working in multidisciplinary teams and with stakeholders at different levels.
  • Proactive attitude and a strong orientation toward problem solving.
  • Communication skills, with the ability to adapt the message to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Genuine technological curiosity and capacity for continuous learning.
