• Experience building AI-powered, user‑facing products (e.g., assistants, recommendations, or intelligent features) from concept to production, including running A/B tests
• Ability to translate ambiguous business and product requirements into clear technical solutions and priorities
• Strong cross-team communication skills and ability to collaborate with Product, Data, AI, and business stakeholders
• English proficiency at B1 level or higher for effective collaboration with an international team

Our ways of working:

• Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions
• Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication
• Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community
• Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together

• Relocation support to one of our hubs — Cyprus, Serbia, Spain or Georgia — with assistance for the employee and their family
