What You’ll Do:

  • Own the design, development, and optimization of features and services
  • Solve challenging technical problems with minimal guidance
  • Develop, maintain and evangelize scalable, maintainable, and resilient source code
  • Actively use AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate development — from scaffolding features and writing tests to reviewing code and debugging
  • Leverage AI tools to iterate quickly, reduce boilerplate, and ship production-ready code at higher velocity
  • Evaluate and critically review AI-generated code for correctness, security, and alignment with team standards before merging
  • Debug and troubleshoot issues efficiently, providing well-reasoned solutions

What You Need:

  • 5+ years of professional experience designing, developing, and shipping software products and/or n-tier services
  • Proficiency in any object-oriented language, preferably Python
  • Proficiency in front-end frameworks, preferably React and a language such as Typescript
  • Demonstrated experience using AI coding assistants (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) as a core part of your development workflow — for code generation, test writing, and code review
  • Comfort working in an AI-augmented engineering environment where speed of delivery and quality are both expected to be high
  • Ability to write precise, effective prompts and provide context to AI tools to get useful, production-quality outputs
  • Experience in working with micro-services
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or similar

A Big Plus

  • Experience with Airflow
  • Working experience in Kubernetes and/or Docker
  • Exposure to data modeling in RDBMS

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
