Software Engineer, Applied AI

Your mission

Design and build the software that turns large language models into reliable, production-grade
  products. You'll work across the full stack — backend services, AI tooling, and user-facing interfaces
  — shipping features that let AI agents reason over data and act safely on behalf of users.
 
 
  Responsibilities & Duties
 
  - Implement and design features: Develop high-quality software components — both conventional services
  and AI/LLM-powered capabilities — that align with established architectural patterns and business
  requirements.
  - Task decomposition: Break down assigned features into manageable technical tasks and provide reliable
  estimates for delivery timelines.
  - Code ownership: Write, maintain, and optimize clean, modular code, ensuring performance, scalability,
  and (for AI features) cost and context efficiency are considered during implementation.
  - Quality assurance: Participate actively in code reviews, provide constructive feedback to peers, and
  adhere to defined coding standards and quality protocols. Evaluate AI features for correctness, safety,
  and regressions.
  - Cross-functional collaboration: Coordinate with colleagues to clarify requirements and ensure
  seamless integration of new features.
  - Knowledge sharing: Contribute to internal documentation to promote team-wide understanding of the
  codebase and AI system behavior.
  - Process contribution: Identify opportunities for technical-debt reduction and suggest improvements to
  the development workflow or toolset to increase efficiency.

Your profile

Must have
 
  - Strong experience in at least one backend language and ecosystem (e.g. Python, TypeScript, Go, Java,
  or C#/.NET).
  - Deep understanding of software design fundamentals — OOP, SOLID, and separation of concerns.
  - Expertise in developing RESTful web services and web applications.
  - Solid knowledge of SQL and database/data modeling.
  - Comprehensive knowledge of version control systems, particularly Git.
  - Experience writing automated tests (unit and integration).
  - Communication skills, with the ability to synchronize effectively within a team.
  - Proven experience working with scalable, high-performance systems.

 
  AI / ML engineering
 
  - Hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications — prompt design, tool/function calling,
  structured outputs, or RAG.
  - Understanding of how to make AI features reliable and evaluable — handling non-determinism, context
  limits, latency, and cost.
  - Familiarity with agent patterns and orchestrating multi-step AI workflows.
 
 
  Nice to have
 
  - Knowledge and experience with cloud technologies (Azure, AWS, or GCP); infrastructure-as-code (Bicep,
  Terraform) a plus.
  - Experience with vector databases, embeddings, or retrieval pipelines.
  - Experience with model evaluation / observability tooling (e.g. tracing, prompt management, eval
  frameworks).
  - Understanding of cyber security essentials (auth, secrets management, least-privilege access).
  - Experience developing and maintaining microservices.
  - Frontend experience (e.g. React/TypeScript) for building AI-driven user interfaces.
