• Apply modern AI-assisted development tools and workflows to accelerate implementation while maintaining strong engineering standards.
• Manage your workload independently, communicate progress clearly, and collaborate effectively with a remote team.
• Contribute technical insights, suggest improvements, and help shape product development decisions.
• Support the continued evolution of the platform by delivering features aligned with its roadmap and user needs.

Requirements

• At least five years of hands-on full-stack development experience, preferably with Django as your primary framework.
• Strong Python programming skills and a proven track record of building and shipping production-ready products.
• Experience developing AI-powered applications using technologies such as LangChain, LangSmith, OpenAI APIs, OpenRouter, or Anthropic APIs.
• Familiarity with Docker and confident use of Git for version control and collaborative development.
• A balanced approach to software development that combines sound engineering fundamentals with modern AI-assisted workflows.
• Practical experience or familiarity with AI development tools such as Cursor, Codex, and Claude Code, with the ability to explain how you use them in your daily work.
• Strong written and spoken English, as English is the primary working language.
• The ability to work independently, manage priorities, communicate clearly, and contribute ideas proactively.
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, CI/CD, or DevOps pipelines is a plus.
• Frontend development skills and a strong eye for UI design and user experience are advantageous.
• German language skills are a plus, particularly for candidates who also communicate fluently in English.
• Application requirement: You must submit both your CV and a two-minute introductory video. The video should explain who you are, why you are interested in the role, and how you use AI tools in your day-to-day work. It can be recorded using Loom, a phone, or another tool; professional production quality is not expected.
