Job Technologies

Your role in the team

  • Develop AI-agentic solutions from scratch or integrating existing agents and foundational technologies. This involves close cooperation with our Business Development team and other users.
  • 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 to deliver end-to-end innovations.
  • Own the full development pipeline: from design and development, through QA and deployment, to production monitoring.
  • Lead architectural discussions, code reviews, and retrospectives; mentor fellow engineers.

Our expectations of you

Qualifications

  • Have excelled somewhere, somehow through an impacting technical contribution - one which we can talk about.
  • Know how to evaluate what you build. You can design eval sets, work with LLM-as-judge or ground-truth data, and use tracing and observability tooling to find and fix regressions.
  • Have hands-on record of building production-grade software, preferably with AI components (LLMs, embeddings, PyTorch/TensorFlow, RAG pipelines, autonomous agents).
  • Practice a truly agnostic approach to stack and tools: you pick the right tech for the problem - not vice-versa.
  • Show exceptional autonomy: you are able to self-drive from idea to finished product, yet know when to collaborate and escalate.
  • Have the ability to thoughtfully challenge ideas and drive constructive discussions (colleagues, product owners, CTO).
  • Be a strong, respectful team player: highly autonomous but grounded in humility and partnership.
  • Reside within ±3 hours of Central European Time (to enable effective collaboration), at best in one of our office locations in Barcelona, Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, and Sevilla.
  • Full professional proficiency in English at C2 level

Experience

  • Have experience in developing AI agents and integrating them into workflows.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest tools, models, and trends in AI-assisted software engineering. We expect you to excel in context engineering (including prompting), to understand when to leverage different models, and to have hands-on experience with Claude Code or Cursor.
