AI is moving fast. Most teams know it’s powerful — but very few know how to actually use it effectively.
We’re looking for someone who can build real systems with AI — not just use tools.
This role is for developers who enjoy solving problems, building backend logic, and using AI as a multiplier, not a dependency.
Location: Fully Remote
Your Mission: Day to Day Responsibilities
You’ll work on building AI-powered systems that solve real business problems — combining code, APIs, and AI tools to create reliable, scalable solutions.
Build and deploy AI-powered workflows and backend systems
Design solutions that combine APIs, scripts, and AI agents
Work with internal teams to understand problems and turn them into technical solutions
Prototype quickly — but also improve and harden systems over time
Optimize solutions (e.g., reduce token usage, improve performance)
Debug and adapt systems when things don’t work as expected
Document your work and explain your thinking clearly
Your Toolbox: Skills to be Successful
Solid programming fundamentals (Python preferred)
Comfortable working with APIs and building integrations
Ability to build solutions without relying entirely on AI tools
Strong problem-solving skills — you can break down and reason through problems
Clear communication — you can explain what you built and why
Curiosity and ownership — you like figuring things out, not just following instructions
Strong signals (highly valued)
Experience building backend systems, scripts, or APIs
Projects where you combined code + AI (not just prompting tools)
Understanding of how systems work under the hood (not just using them)
Experience debugging or improving existing systems
Nice to have (but not the focus)
Experience with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, etc.)
Exposure to automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n)
Data pipelines, scraping, or workflow automation
Your Perks: What's in it for you
Work on real systems used by operating businesses
Learn how to combine software engineering + AI in production
High ownership — your work ships fast and matters
Mentorship from experienced developers
Fully remote
