• Direct collaboration and skill development: Work hand-in-hand with engineers from other technology stacks to integrate AI solutions and evolve our current technological landscape, within an agile and multidisciplinary team. Take part in technology choices and the architecture of the AI platform, with real influence on strategic directions.

Our ideal candidates should have:

• Strong technical expertise and deep understanding of software engineering best practices, with a particular emphasis on Python. Highly proficient in designing and developing scalable backend API solutions.
• Track record of hands-on AI and GenAI solution development and delivery, with a strong understanding of industry-standard frameworks and libraries.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluency in English, both written and verbal. French is a plus.
