AI-First Senior Software Developer
let's talkTask
What is “AI-First” exactly? The “AI-First” approach means you play a key role in designing and building products and workflows where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a supplementary tool, but the central element of the system. This involves knowing how to design AI-heavy products end-to-end: data strategy, model integration, evaluation loops, and writing crystal-clear specifications that let AI do most of the mechanical coding, while human resources focus on correctness, User Experience (UX), and alignment with business goals.
Main Tasks – What will you be dealing with?
AI-based System Design: Designing systems built around LLM APIs, vector stores, and observability for AI behavior, utilizing the latest technologies. Optimizing Development Workflows: Designing and implementing specifications, tests, and review processes that maximize the efficiency of AI tools (e.g., Copilot). Data Strategy and Evaluation: Managing the full lifecycle of AI-heavy products, including developing data strategy, model integration, and setting up continuous evaluation loops. Technology Coaching and Safety: Mentoring development teams on the safe and ethical use of AI tools, with a focus on preventing license/secret leakage and maintaining code quality.
Why should you join us?
Innovation at the Forefront: You get the chance to participate in the leading edge of AI-centric product development, building the technologies of the future. Architecture and Leadership: You can directly utilize your experience in architecture and leadership, providing coaching to the team on the safe and effective use of AI tools. Design over Coding: You’ll spend most of your time on business logic, UX, and architectural fine-tuning, as AI takes over the burden of coding mechanics. Programming Language Flexibility: While Java is important, we also prioritize knowledge of Python and TypeScript. Programming language knowledge is not the primary focus; clear, architectural thinking is.
With us, individual needs are not an obstacle! In the spirit of inclusivity, we also warmly welcome applications from professionals with disabilities or reduced working capacity. Our office is fully accessible, and flexible working arrangements are a fundamental part of how we operate, ensuring that all technical and organizational conditions are in place for successful collaboration.
