Inside deeply technical organizations, early-career engineers often worry about how they compare to more experienced team members, but artificial intelligence in software engineering is changing that dynamic. Shivam explains how AI skills for engineers enable junior engineers to act as force multipliers, helping senior teams move faster and solve more complex problems. Instead of focusing solely on traditional entry-level tasks, early-career engineering jobs increasingly emphasize collaboration, enablement, and problem-solving across teams.

He also highlights how LightRiver uses agentic coding tools like Claude Code to support innovation. These tools empower teams beyond traditional developers, reshaping junior engineer roles and expanding access to software creation across the organization.

For students, graduates, and professionals exploring entry-level engineering careers, this video offers insight into how AI in engineering careers creates new opportunities for growth, learning, and impact. It also reflects LightRiver’s commitment to an engineering culture built on curiosity, enablement, and continuous innovation.
