Full-stack Engineer with ML/AI experience

The Opportunity

We are seeking a talented Full-Stack Software Engineer with a passion for ML/AI to join our innovative team. In this role, you will contribute to developing our AI-driven solutions, including tools for code generation, chat assistance, code completion, docstring creation, unit test generation, and code repair.

You will leverage your strong programming skills in Python and either Java/Kotlin or TS to create embedded AI agents that enhance code generation through advanced syntactic and semantic analysis of repositories and generated code. While prior ML/AI experience is required—at least through personal or pet projects—this opportunity will allow you to deepen your expertise in this cutting-edge domain and contribute to impactful, transformative AI solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to join an early-stage company led by the founder of a unicorn startup, Andrey Filev, and help scale it into a thriving, innovative business. You’ll be a part of the team that ships AI products, shaping the future of software development and unlocking the creative potential of brilliant minds.

• Conduct thorough testing of developed solutions, identify and address any bugs or performance issues, and optimize code for efficiency and scalability.
• Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in full-stack development, DevOps practices, and AI technologies to drive innovation and maintain competitiveness.
• Influence how software development will be done in the whole industry. 

Essential Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in developing complex software solutions using Python and either Java/Kotlin or TS 
• Proven expertise in ML/AI, demonstrated through professional experience or substantial personal projects.
• Experience developing complex production applications used by thousands or millions of users.
• Strong computer science background (e.g. algorithms, data structures), strong understanding of modern architecture and design principles (eg, SOLID) with practical application of both.
• Deep understanding and experience of enterprise software development processes, ability to formalize typical SDLC tasks with all nuances.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a knack for troubleshooting and debugging complex issues.
• Proven ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment, with excellent communication skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality solutions on time.
• Eagerness to learn and adapt to new technologies and methodologies, with a passion for continuous improvement and innovation.
• Ability to work in dynamic, fast-changing environments or experience in start-ups. 
• Prior experience in creating developer tools loved by their users would be highly advantageous, especially for VS and JetBrains add-ins.
