Your profile
Your Experience & Mindset
You have 5+ years experience in Software Engineering and AI
You've worked in early-stage startups or scale-ups where you had to wear multiple hats (coding, testing, UI, integrations)
Hands-on experience building with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar): APIs, prompt engineering, structured outputs, agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or similar)
You actively use AI coding tools like Cursor, Codex, or Claude in your daily workflow — and you can talk about how and why
Experience with RESTful APIs, cloud services, and testing/QA for AI systems
You're comfortable with ambiguity and high ownership: you'll manage multiple projects simultaneously and organize your own delivery
Preferred experience
You came from software engineering and have deliberately moved into AI
Strong Python skills: you can actually code, not just prompt
The process
We like to move fast, and with the right candidate, the entire process can be completed in less than two weeks.
