Full-Time Position

Due to the nature of our startup, we require you to have a legit residence permit and allowed to be freely working in EU, we are NOT able to sponsor any work visa.

The role:

We’re looking for an AI Software Engineer to join us in a key technical role. You’ll design, build, and deploy intelligent AI agents that power our next-generation educational products. You will work closely with AI engineers, product, and software teams to turn cutting-edge research into reliable, production-ready systems.

This role goes beyond experimentation: your work will directly define how autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems operate safely, efficiently, and at scale in real learning environments.

Responsibilities:

  • Build agent capabilities such as:
  • Design, implement, and maintain AI agents using Python and SOTA LLM technologies
  • Tool usage (APIs, internal services, databases)
  • Task decomposition, planning, and reasoning
  • Memory systems (short-term, long-term, vector-based)
  • Integrate large language models into production workflows
  • Collaborate with product, research, and engineering teams to translate client needs into AI-driven solutions
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested Python code
  • Contribute to system architecture, performance optimisation, and reliability
  • Experiment with new ideas and actively help shape the AI technology road-map

Skills & Requirements:

  • Strong proficiency in Python
  • Experience building LLM-powered applications or AI agents
  • Hands-on experience with at least one agent or LLM framework
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals (architecture, testing, version control)
  • Problem-solver mindset with the ability to work autonomously in a start-up environment
  • Eager to learn and adapt to fast-evolving AI technologies
  • Engineering education background in Computer Science, Mathematics, or relevant domains.
  • Passionate about shaping the future of education

Plus:

  • Experience with open-source LLMs
  • Knowledge of RAG pipelines and hybrid search systems
  • Experience with multi-agent systems or orchestration workflows
  • Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD, or DevOps practices
  • Interest in privacy-preserving, on-prem, or regulated AI deployments
  • Prior experience in EdTech or learning platforms
