## About the Role

* Have experience in developing AI agents and integrating them into business workflows.
 * We expect you to be on top of the latest tools, models and trends in AI-assisted software engineering. We expect you to be amazing at prompting, to know when to leverage different models, and to have first-hand experience with Claude Code or Cursor.
 * Strong hands-on record of building production-grade software, preferably with AI components (LLMs, embeddings, PyTorch/TensorFlow, RAG pipelines, autonomous agents).
 * A truly agnostic approach to stack and tools: you pick the right tech for the problem-not vice-versa.
 * Exceptional autonomy: able to self-drive, yet know when to collaborate and escalate.
 * Ability to thoughtfully challenge ideas and drive constructive discussions (colleagues, product owners, CTO).
 * A strong, respectful team player: highly autonomous but grounded in humility and partnership.
 * You reside within ±3 hours of Central European Time (to enable effective collaboration).

Bonus

 * Prior experience integrating AI into SaaS business workflows.
 * Familiarity with modern AI-tooling ecosystem (agents, memory systems, vector databases).
 * Experience leading a tech team or architecting across the stack-from frontend to infrastructure.

## Description

* Develop AI-agentic solutions from scratch or integrating existing agents and foundational technologies. This involves close cooperation with our Product Management as well as our Business Development teams.
 * Use AI to aggressively ship high-quality code. Architect and build AI-first software solutions for complex user-stories: scalable, robust, maintainable.
 * Work closely with stakeholders-including product management and UX design-to deliver end-to-end innovations.
 * Own the full development pipeline: from technical design and development, through deployment, to production monitoring.
 * Lead architectural discussions, code-reviews, retrospectives; mentor fellow engineers.
 * Champion AI-powered features: integrate LLMs, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, embeddings and deep learning frameworks to unlock business value.
