Job Overview

Join to apply for the AI & Platform Innovation Engineer role at Vicoland.

At Vicoland, we’re rewriting the rules of the professional services market. We give freelancers and small teams the tools to come together as virtual companies (“Vicos”) and compete on the global stage. Our digital platform provides the legal, organizational and transactional infrastructure that empowers teams to deliver high‑calibre projects for Fortune 500 companies (e.g., ABB, BASF, Netflix, Siemens) as well as medium‑sized clients.

Our work has been appraised by leading players such as SAP, Forrester and Manpower. Now we’re gearing up for the next leap. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just code—but leads, innovates, and leverages AI to build the future of our platform.

Responsibilities

• Develop AI‑centric solutions from scratch or integrate existing agents and foundational technologies. This involves close cooperation with our Product Management and Business Development teams.
• Use AI to aggressively ship high‑quality code. Architect and build AI‑first software solutions for complex user‑stories: scalable, robust, maintainable.
• Work closely with stakeholders—including product management and UX design—to deliver end‑to‑end innovations.
• Own the full development pipeline: from technical design and development, through deployment, to production monitoring.
• Lead architectural discussions, code‑reviews, retrospectives; mentor fellow engineers.
• Champion AI‑powered features: integrate LLMs, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, embeddings and deep learning frameworks to unlock business value.

Qualifications

• Be on top of the latest tools, models and trends in AI‑assisted software engineering, with strong prompting skills and experience with Claude Code or Cursor.
• Strong hands‑on record of building production‑grade software, preferably with AI components (LLMs, embeddings, PyTorch/TensorFlow, RAG pipelines, autonomous agents).
• Take an agnostic approach to stack and tools, picking the right tech for the problem.
• Demonstrate exceptional autonomy and the ability to self‑drive while knowing when to collaborate and elevate.
• Crucially, be able to thoughtfully challenge ideas and drive constructive discussions with colleagues, product owners and CTO.
• Show humility and respect as a team player, while maintaining high autonomy.
• Reside within ±3 hours of Central European Time to enable effective collaboration.

Bonus

• Prior experience integrating AI into SaaS business workflows.
• Familiarity with modern AI‑tooling ecosystem (agents, memory systems, vector databases).
• Experience leading a tech team or architecting across the stack—from frontend to infrastructure.

Benefits

• Work in an international, closely‑knit team of high‑performers and entrepreneurial spirits.
• Remote‑friendly + flexible work hours.
• Competitive compensation + participation in our ESOP program (IPO upside).
• Growth mindset: Hard skills matter, but mindset matters more. If you meet most of the requirements and you’re hungry to learn, apply anyway.
