Description du poste

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced AI Software Engineer to join our dynamic and collaborative development team in Karlskrona, Barcelona or Leuven!

As an AI Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in developing our core AI services within the cyber security domain, refining and adapting models, and enabling teams across the company to integrate AI into their products and workflows. This role blends hands‑on engineering with applied AI problem‑solving.

You will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects, leveraging the power of Python and Golang to build high-performance applications with cutting‑edge cloud technologies. You might not already be fluent in both Python and Golang, but if you have the right mindset and fit for us, we will support you in managing both languages.

We believe in a hybrid work environment where you mix office presence with remote work or full time in the office.

Who are we?

We are a leading cyber assessment company focused on enabling our customers to achieve maximum value from their evolving technology investments. By leveraging our full stack security insights to reduce attack surface for any architecture, our customers continuously improve their security posture with the least effort. Over 2,000 customers in more than 40 countries around the world trust us to assess their devices, networks, applications, cloud and container environments and report compliance status for government, industry sector, or internal regulations.

As an AI Software Engineer your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand project requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
• Implementation written in Python and supported by Golang.
• Design, build, and maintain production‑grade AI services and APIs used across the organization.
• Support the organization with AI expertise, guidance, and troubleshooting.
• Fine‑tune, evaluate, and optimize machine learning and LLM‑based models for real‑world use cases.
• Collaborate with internal teams to integrate AI capabilities into their products and systems.
• Conduct technical investigations and small‑scale research to explore new AI techniques and tools.
• Contribute to the best internal practices, coding standards, and architectural decisions.
• Ensure reliability, scalability, and performance of AI‑powered systems in production.
• Participate in architectural discussions and propose innovative solutions.
• Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure code quality and performance.
• Identify and troubleshoot software defects and performance issues.

What type of experience do we expect from our ideal candidate?

• Master or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of software development experience
• Experience in scalable and cloud native, high availability systems like Kubernetes is a plus
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.
• Proficiency in using Git or other version control systems.
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals and hands‑on experience with modern AI frameworks is a plus
• Experience working with LLMs, vector databases, embeddings, or model fine‑tuning
• Experience working with Amazon Bedrock or similar vendors is preferred.
• Proficiency in Python or similar languages used in AI development
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities in English
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, dynamic work environment.
• Above all, we want to see someone who is an awesome team player – for us, attitude is everything
• Cyber security is a plus, but not a requirement

But what's in it for you?

In return for your efforts, we will offer you:

• A flat organizational structure and lots of autonomy; you are not just a number. You will join an organization that offers a steep learning curve, where your contributions will have a tangible impact.
• The opportunity to be part of a fast-growing and fun European cybersecurity company.
• Employees also benefit from regular performance conversations with their managers, focused on development, career progression, and self improvement.
• Join our team in one of our offices, and experience a workplace that’s as vibrant as the city, from fun socials, great perks, and a collaborative environment!
• A healthy work‑life balance, so you can enjoy flexibility and a hybrid working environment (3 days in office).
