Description
Ready to revolutionize the software development landscape? At IgniteTech, we're not just keeping pace with the AI revolution – we're leading it. In an industry where 30% of projects face delays due to traditional development bottlenecks, we're crafting a new paradigm that merges cutting-edge GenAI with software engineering excellence.
We're seeking a visionary Lead AI Engineer who will spearhead our mission to transform software development from a manual craft into an AI-augmented science. This isn't your typical engineering role – it's an opportunity to architect the future of software development, where AI becomes an integral part of every development decision.
As our Lead AI Engineer, you'll be the bridge between theoretical AI capabilities and practical software development challenges. You'll work at the intersection of innovation and implementation, turning bleeding-edge AI technologies into powerful tools that revolutionize how we build software.
If you're energized by the prospect of shaping the next generation of software development tools and methodologies, and you see AI not just as a tool but as a transformative force in software engineering, we want to talk to you.
What you will be doing
- Pioneer groundbreaking AI-driven architectural systems that redefine software development automation, focusing on revolutionary approaches to architecture generation, intelligent dependency management, and next-generation predictive coding solutions.
- Stay at the absolute forefront of AI and software engineering evolution through immersive R&D initiatives, thought leadership in professional forums, and active participation in the global tech community. Your role is to ensure we're not just early adopters, but innovation leaders in emerging AI technologies.
What you will NOT be doing
- This is not a position for maintaining legacy code or handling routine debugging tasks - we have dedicated teams for that.
- You won't be spending time on conventional software development tasks or implementing basic features - your focus will be exclusively on AI-driven innovation and architectural leadership.
Key responsibilities
- Leverage your advanced engineering expertise to orchestrate a revolutionary improvement in development velocity, dramatically reduce human error rates, and establish new benchmarks for code quality - all while accelerating product delivery timelines and elevating customer satisfaction to unprecedented levels.
Candidate requirements
- Proven track record of 3+ years driving impactful engineering initiatives that have left a lasting mark on software development processes
- Hands-on expertise with modern AI coding assistants including Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, and v0.dev
- Demonstrated success in bringing Generative AI solutions from concept to production
- Deep practical knowledge of various LLM platforms (GPT, Claude, Mistral) and their strategic application in solving complex business challenges
