Who we are looking for

An early-career engineer, strong junior or junior-to-middle. This is not a classic junior position.

This role is for someone who wants to:

- be a builder, not just an executor
- work on several real products at the same time
- take responsibility for technical decisions
- learn fast and adapt to new tools
- use AI as a practical instrument, not just as theory

Your background
Commercial experience is optional. Strong pet projects, prototypes, MVPs, and experiments are fully acceptable if it is clear you built things yourself.

Our projects and workload

There will be multiple projects, and they will be different.

Most of the time you will work on 3 to 4 projects in parallel, occasionally 1 to 2.

All projects include an AI component, but in different roles:

- in some projects AI is the core of the product
- in others it is an important layer on top of a more classic system

Work formats vary:

- in some projects you will be the only technical person, covering architecture, development, deployment, and support
- in other projects you will join a team with more senior engineers and focus mainly on AI integration and AI-related components

There is often no close supervision. You are expected to be autonomous from day one and comfortable taking ownership.

AI and technology

What matters most is understanding how AI systems are actually built and shipped today.

Minimum expectations

- hands-on experience or strong practical understanding of LLM (and other modalities) APIs
- experience with vector databases
- experience with orchestration and building AI pipelines

A deep ML background is not required, but deeper understanding is a strong plus.
Integrating existing models and building working systems is the baseline.

We do not lock you into a fixed stack. What matters is that you:

- understand modern frontend and backend approaches
- know what is considered relevant today
- can choose tools pragmatically and learn fast

Mindset

We are looking for someone who:

- prototypes fast and is not afraid to experiment
- is comfortable operating between research and applied engineering
- proposes AI use cases instead of only implementing predefined tasks
- has their own view on how AI technology is evolving

Interest in agent-based systems, multimodal AI, and robotics AI is a strong plus.

Main project directions

Initial focus will be around several directions, including:

Robotics software

Building software for robots, including applications running on robot tablets for autonomous, intelligent interaction in specific use cases.
Here you will work with a more senior engineer.

Foodtech

Automation of a food delivery business. Custom ERP, AI automations on top of it, client-facing applications, and internal IT infrastructure.
Here you will work independently.

This is not a closed list. There will be more projects, and they will differ significantly.

Work format

- Fully remote, at least for the first year
- No preferred time zones
- Full-time is preferred. Part-time is possible only in rare cases
- Direct work with the founder. No management layers
- International context and projects across different markets
- Confident English is required for day-to-day communication

Location note
The candidate must be located outside of Russia or be ready to legalize and relocate within 1 to 3 months. We can help with legalization.

Compensation and collaboration format

Collaboration format is flexible:
- fixed contract with monthly salary and bonus component
- ongoing hourly-based contract with monthly settlements
- possible to start with one format and switch to the other

There is potential participation in successful projects through options or equity.

Strong advantages

- Relevant education in Computer Science, AI, ML, or related fields
- Personal projects built from scratch
- AI-powered pet projects
- GitHub, demos, prototypes
- Desire to build products quickly, not only write clean code

In short

This role is for someone who wants to build real AI-powered products, work across multiple projects at once, grow fast, and operate with a high level of ownership instead of following a traditional junior career path.
