Job description

Who we are

Pathos Communications is a PR consultancy whose real IP is software. We build Pressella — an AI outreach and conversation platform (SMS, WhatsApp, email, voice) that engages prospects at scale and books meetings for our PR Consultants — and Pathos Mind, our internal portal for lead management, automated research, and AI article generation. Production systems, hundreds of thousands of contacts, real revenue.

The role

• Turn loose product ideas into precise PRDs and specs — with AI doing the implementation, the spec is the engineering.
• Direct AI agents to build Pressella and our internal tools — decompose the work, write the prompts, review and test what comes back, ship it.
• Build the systems that build software — agent workflows, evals, guardrails, CI.
• Own quality — read code you didn't write, catch the subtle bug, debug production, leave things safer than you found them.

Stack & how we work

Python/FastAPI and TypeScript/Next.js on GCP (Cloud Run, Firestore, BigQuery, Terraform), Anthropic and OpenAI APIs, Twilio and HubSpot integrations. Trunk-based development with AI-reviewed PRs: small TDD commits, branches live hours not days, main always releasable, incomplete features ship dark. You don't need every tool on day one — you need to get productive fast, with AI assistance.

You

• Solid fundamentals in Python or TypeScript — you can read unfamiliar code and explain why it works.
• Real experience driving development with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) — not just autocomplete.
• A clear writer: specs, commit messages, incident notes — writing is half this job.
• Comfortable with cloud (GCP preferred) and Git; TDD experience or the appetite to learn it.
• In Dubai or willing to relocate (visa sponsored).

We weigh shipped work and professional skepticism toward AI output over years of experience.
