• Strong Work Ethic: You take initiative, follow through, and know when going the extra mile adds value
• Problem Solver: You find ways to unblock progress, even in challenging situations
• Technical Leadership: Ability to scope, architect, and deliver complex engineering projects
• Agile & Scrum Experience: Comfortable working in iterative development cycles
• Constant learner: always on the lookout for learning and trying new technologies

• Languages and frameworks:
  • NodeJS
  • React/NextJS
  • Python
  • Ruby on rails
• DB
  • MongoDB or similar NoSQL database

• Advantage:
  • Collaborating with Data Science teams

  • Global Team Collaboration: Experience working with international teams and specifically Israeli teams (Hebrew fluency is a plus but not required)

What’s in it for you

• Working on cutting edge AI technologies including generative AI
• Awesome working environment with people who genuinely enjoy their craft and one another
• An opportunity to be a key player in a dynamic, international R&D environment
• A role that provides both technical challenges and collaboration opportunities
