Job Technologies

Your role in the team

  • Are you excited about building smart, data-driven products using the latest AI technologies — and about owning the technical and customer-facing responsibility that comes with it?
  • At SQUER, we help our customers unlock the potential of AI through real-world software solutions — not by building custom models from scratch, but by applying LLMs, cloud-native AI services, and smart engineering.
  • Join our Product Delivery Unit and lead how applied AI enhances modern digital products.
  • AI-Powered Product Architecture: Design and own the architecture of AI-enhanced software products using modern cloud services and frameworks (e.g., Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, LangChain).
  • Applied LLM & Expertise: Apply Large Language Models (LLMs), cognitive services, and related technologies to solve complex, high-impact customer problems independently.
  • Customer Consulting: Lead workshops and technical discussions with product managers, designers, and customer stakeholders, representing SQUER with confidence and identifying where AI adds measurable value.
  • Scalable Systems Design: Architect scalable data pipelines and APIs that power intelligent features in production-grade environments, taking full technical ownership.
  • Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Guide and develop engineers within your team, shape our applied AI engineering practices, and ensure project and team success.
  • Thought Leadership: Represent SQUER's applied AI expertise externally — through client relationships, internal knowledge-sharing, or community engagement.
