Job description

At Foxelli, we’re building more than e-commerce brands - we’re building a tribe of thoughtful humans: AI enthusiasts, curious builders, and ambitious minds who care about doing meaningful work together. Ten years in, our D2C brands reach millions and generate over $20M annually. Our focus stays simple: create products customers love and a team that actually enjoys building them.

If you love to learn, experiment, think boldly, make decisions, and build things that matter - you’ll feel at home with us.

WHY JOIN FOXELLI?

We are a fast-moving e-commerce company that builds our own proprietary AI infrastructure. We develop internal AI-driven systems to automate complex creative and analytical workflows, which we later scale into B2B SaaS products.

We are not looking for a traditional developer.

We are looking for an AI-Native Builder who can turn an idea into a functional prototype in days using the latest AI-assisted development tools.

THE ROLE

As a Founding AI Engineer, you will work directly with the founder to design, build, and iterate on various AI systems. The projects will vary - from computer vision and image manipulation to automated video generation and agentic data analysis. You will be responsible for the full pipeline: from R&D of the best AI models to deploying scalable web applications.

Who You Are:

• Modern Developer: You have abandoned "manual-only" coding. You are a power user of tools like GPT Codex, Claude code, and Replit, allowing you to build at a 10x pace.
• AI Generalist: You are comfortable working across different AI domains - LLMs (Text/Reasoning), Diffusion (Image/Video), and Vision models.
• Agile & Adaptive: You thrive in an environment where projects evolve. You are a fast learner who can master a new AI framework or API over a weekend.
• Hacker Mindset: You focus on ROI. You build lean MVPs, test them in our real-world e-commerce operations, and only then polish them for scale.
• Architecture-Aware: You know how to orchestrate multiple AI models into a single "Agentic" workflow that handles complex tasks autonomously.

Technical Interests:

• Stack: Next.js / Python (FastAPI).
• AI Frameworks: ComfyUI / Diffusers, IP-Adapters, ControlNet, and Agentic frameworks (LangChain/CrewAI).
• Infrastructure: Experience with Serverless GPU providers (Replicate, Fal, RunPod).
• Integrations: Skilled at connecting diverse APIs to create seamless automated systems.

Why Join Us:

• Direct Impact: Build tools that are immediately put to use in real-world business scenarios.
• Extreme Speed: No corporate red tape. If the tech works, we ship it.
• Evolution: This is a founding role with the opportunity to lead multiple product lines as we transition from internal tools to SaaS.

THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS

• Ribbon AI Interview - Ribbon is a short, guided video step that helps us understand your thinking style in a calm, private space
• Interview - A conversation with your manager to feel the work chemistry, get to know each other, and explore what we could build together

FIXED SERVICE FEE

€2000- €3000 after taxes (depending on your skills, competencies, and experience).

Perks & Benefits

• Full flexibility with your schedule in a fully remote setting, while Apploye ensures transparency and fairness.
• Complimentary gym memberships and company-sponsored outdoor adventures for your strength and to keep your physical well-being in check.
• A personal development budget is at your disposal for your personal and professional growth to ensure you keep growing continuously.
• Generous paid time off, including parental leave and vacation days, to recharge and rejuvenate and ensure you’re well-rested.
• A budget for your home office setup so you’re comfortable working how you like and where you like.
• Strong company culture and a network of unique individuals that celebrate you.

ELIGIBILITY & LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

This role is 100% remote.

• Our tribe works primarily in the Eastern European Time Zone (EET - UTC+2/UTC+3). We also use Revolut for payments, so we are open to hiring candidates in countries where Revolut payments are supported.
• For full-time roles, we ask that you’re available for at least 5 hours during typical EET working hours - it keeps collaboration smooth and communication easy. (This doesn’t apply to part-time roles.)

Currently, we are hiring in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Georgia, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Malta, Slovenia, Serbia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Hungary, Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and South Africa.
