You will work on real client programs across industries, integrating LLM APIs, ensuring production readiness, and contributing to internal AI tooling standards and best practices.

The annual gross salary starts at €45,000, with a clear development path and opportunities to

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years of commercial software engineering experience in production environments (or equivalent demonstrated through academic projects, internships, or shipped personal projects).
• Proficiency in at least one primary backend language: Python, Java, or TypeScript.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience using AI tools actively in day-to-day engineering work — with practical examples of how AI was used to solve real problems, iterate on outputs, and improve delivery; including direct experience calling LLM APIs in production code with an understanding of token management, latency, and cost tradeoffs.
• Basic understanding of web technologies including JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Familiarity with cloud fundamentals (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Understanding of Agile delivery fundamentals.
• Experience with databases — SQL or NoSQL.
• Ability to validate, evaluate, and improve AI-generated outputs; understanding of AI limitations and responsible use.
• Familiarity with agentic system concepts — awareness of orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent), RAG pipelines, and how full-stack applications connect to agent-based architecture; production experience preferred, conceptual understanding required.

Responsibilities

• Use AI coding assistants daily as a standard part of delivery, actively, frequently, and with demonstrable impact on productivity and output quality.
• Integrate LLM APIs into applications in production: calling AI provider APIs in live code, managing token limits and latency, and building initial abstraction layers.
• Apply AI across the full software delivery lifecycle: AI-generated tests, AI-assisted debugging, AI-accelerated code review, and prompt engineering for development tasks.
• Own the quality of AI-generated outputs in your delivery scope, exercise engineering judgment about reliability, limitations, and failure modes; know when AI output is production-ready and when it is not.
• Define and track KPIs to evaluate the effectiveness and ROI of AI-assisted workflows; present AI productivity and quality metrics to project stakeholders.
• Own delivery end-to-end — from design through to production support — in Agile sprint cycles alongside client engineering teams.
• Contribute to shared knowledge bases, reusable components, and internal AI tooling standards that benefit the wider team.
• Build and integrate the application layers, APIs, and interfaces that connect full-stack systems to agentic backends — understanding data flows, context handoffs, and integration points between your code and AI pipelines.
