Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # software engineers - **Company:** Akkio Inc. - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $160,000.0 - $240,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Airflow, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, BigQuery, Cloud Computing, Software Quality, Continuous Integration, Data Visualization, Database Design, Software Debugging, DevOps, Distributed Systems, Python (Programming Language), Node.Js, Cloud Services, Software Engineering, SQL Databases, TypeScript, Web Application Frameworks, Workflow Management Systems, Google Cloud, Large Language Models, Snowflake, Multi-Agent Systems, Backend, Vue.js, Containerization, AI Platforms, Kubernetes, Deployment Automation, Machine Learning Operations, Restful APIs, Docker, Databricks - **Published:** August 1, 2026 - **Apply:** https://careers.kula.ai/akkio/52130 ## About the Role * 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of solving hard technical problems * You've deeply integrated AI coding into your daily workflow; agents are your default way of building, not an occasional assist and you can speak concretely about how you direct them, where they fail, and how you verify their output * You thrive on ownership: you've repeatedly taken loosely defined or shifting requirements and delivered great products anyway, filling gaps with judgment rather than waiting for direction * Experience building and debugging large-scale production systems * Strong background with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, and/or Azure) and modern DevOps practices * Strong bias to execution coupled with high engineering standards and attention to detail Your specialty Backend. Build the server-side systems that power our AI platform: APIs behind customer-facing agents, model deployment and inference infrastructure, and large-scale processing of media and audience data. You bring strong production Python, deep understanding of REST APIs and database design, and experience with distributed architectures. Full stack web. Build the interfaces where agency teams interact with AI agents, explore data, and ship campaign work. You bring strong experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (we use Vue.js, Node.js, and TypeScript), complex state management, data visualization, and the design sensibility to implement sophisticated interfaces accurately. Data. Build the pipelines and data foundations our platform runs on: high-volume ingestion from partner systems, transformation and modeling for AI workloads, and the analytics architecture behind audience and campaign intelligence. You bring expert SQL, deep experience with cloud data platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks), and fluency with orchestration tools like dbt or Airflow. ## Description If you've rebuilt your workflow around agents, maintaining context files for your repos, running agents on real production work, publishing MCP servers, or rethinking how code review works when an agent writes the first draft, you'll feel at home. If you're still evaluating whether AI coding tools are ready, this probably isn't the right role. The opportunity We hire senior software engineers into four areas of focus: backend, full stack, data, and infrastructure. Most of what makes an engineer great at Akkio is the same across all four - the specialty is where you'll go deepest, not a box you'll stay in. Apply once and tell us which area fits you best; if you're between two, tell us that too. Whatever your focus, you'll build the systems behind customer-facing AI agents running in production at the world's largest media agencies. This role is built for owners. Requirements at a fast-moving AI startup are rarely fully defined and often shift as we learn from customers. We're looking for someone who treats that as the fun part: someone who takes a partially-shaped problem, drives it to a well-shaped solution, and ships a great product without waiting for a full spec. You'll have direct influence on technical direction, and your work will land in production at agencies serving the world's biggest brands. What you'll do * Own complex technical projects end-to-end, from ambiguous problem statement through architecture, build, deployment, and iteration in production * Multiply your output with agentic coding and help raise the bar for how the whole team builds with agents * Design systems that scale with our partner base while improving reliability, performance, and cost efficiency * Implement security and compliance measures that protect sensitive partner data * Set engineering standards for code quality and testing in an agent-assisted codebase, and mentor teammates on both * Work directly with engineers, data scientists, and customer teams, and communicate clearly with stakeholders as requirements evolve, Infrastructure. Build the systems that let our platform run inside our partners' own cloud environments at enterprise scale: deployment automation, observability, reliability, security, and cost efficiency across AWS, GCP, and Azure. You bring deep experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD, and infrastructure as code. Bonus points * Public artifacts of your agentic workflow: CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md context files in your repos, published MCP servers, agent co-authored commit history, or writing about how you build with agents * Hands-on experience building with large language models: evals, tool use, agent orchestration, or LLM-powered product features * Depth in a second specialty from the list above * Understanding of security best practices for handling sensitive data * Previous early-stage startup experience Why you'll love working here Build at the frontier. You'll work on a team that's genuinely all-in on agentic development, with the tools, budget, and encouragement to push what's possible with AI coding. What most companies call an experiment, we call Tuesday. You'll get better at this craft faster here than almost anywhere. Ride real acceleration. Akkio is a well-funded startup in a rapidly accelerating phase with major enterprise partners in production, expanding global deployments, and a market that's moving toward us. Joining now means real ownership of outcomes and real upside: substantial equity, outsized scope, and a direct line from your work to company results. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Lessons learned from building a thriving Vue.js SaaS application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1666-lessons-learned-from-building-a-thriving-vue-js-saas-application) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Azure AI Foundry for Developers: Open Tools, Scalable Agents, Real Impact](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1541-azure-ai-foundry-for-developers-open-tools-scalable-agents-real-impact) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [The AI-Native Engineering Org: What’s Real, What’s Hype, What’s Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100004-the-ai-native-engineering-org-what-s-real-what-s-hype-what-s-next) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [The Overflow: AI and Agentic Coding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/721-the-overflow-ai-and-agentic-coding)
