Jobbeschreibung

At Vicoland are 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 and nimble clients alike.

We’ve already partnered with names like Netflix, Siemens, and WPP. 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 not only codes but also leads, innovates, and leverages AI to build the future of our platform.

Tasks

• Use AI to aggressively ship high‑quality code. We expect you to be on top of the latest tools, models, and trends in AI‑assisted software engineering. Using AI is now not on the side but your main development tool. You should be amazing at prompting to know when to leverage different models and have first‑hand experience with Claude, Code or Cursor. At the same time, you should know when not to use LLMs and instead debug or design an algorithm by hand. We’re not looking for vibe coders.
• Architect and build AI‑first software solutions for complex user stories: scalable, robust, and 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 and mentor fellow engineers.
• Champion AI‑powered features: integrate LLMs, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, embeddings and deep learning frameworks to unlock business value.

Requirements

• Strong hands‑on record of building production‑grade software, preferably with AI components (LLMs, embeddings, PyTorch / TensorFlow, RAG pipelines, autonomous agents).
• A truly agnostic approach to stack and tools: you pick the right tech for the problem, not vice‑versa.
• Exceptional autonomy: able to self‑drive yet know when to collaborate and escape.
• Ability to thoughtfully challenge ideas and drive constructive discussions (colleagues, product owners, CTO).
• A strong respectful team player: highly autonomous but grounded in humility and partnership.
• You 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

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

If you’re a high‑impact engineer who thrives on autonomy, drives real results, and is passionate about applying AI to change how teams work, let’s talk. Even if you don’t check every bullet above but you bring exceptional drive, creativity, and a growth mindset, please apply—we believe the right mindset counts more than checkboxes.
