  • Configure and manage cloud-native infrastructure (AWS or GCP) including containers, serverless, and infrastructure-as-code
  • Build and tune data layers across relational and NoSQL databases, caching, and message queues
  • Write clean, well-tested, production-ready code with a focus on maintainability and operational excellence

AI-Augmented Development

  • Leverage AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Opus, etc.) to dramatically accelerate development workflows
  • Use AI tools for code generation, refactoring, test writing, documentation, and code review
  • Integrate large language model (LLM) APIs and AI/ML services into applications (e.g., OpenAI, GCP Vertex, AWS Bedrock)
  • Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, prompt engineering strategies, and AI-powered features
  • Evaluate, select, and champion AI tools and practices that improve team productivity
  • Develop custom agents, workflows, and automations using AI platforms and frameworks (Vertex Studio, Semantic Kernel, CrewAI, etc.)
  • Establish guardrails, security practices, and governance for responsible AI usage in engineering

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

  • Influence engineering culture by evangelizing AI-augmented development practices
  • Train and upskill team members on effective use of AI tools in their daily workflows
  • Contribute to internal knowledge bases, tech talks, and communities of practice

  • Cloud & DevOps: Strong hands-on experience deploying and operating on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
  • Data: Proficiency building and optimizing data layers with SQL and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis), data modeling, and query tuning
  • API Implementation: Proven track record building RESTful APIs, GraphQL services, gRPC endpoints, or event-driven integrations (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
  • AI Tools Proficiency: Advanced daily usage of AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) Experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, GCP Vertex Service) into production applications Familiarity with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, embeddings, and vector databases Track record of measurably improving team velocity through AI tool adoption
  • Testing: Strong testing practices including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing with modern frameworks

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.
