Remote AI Engineer Jobs in Romania

Q: What does Crossover do?

Crossover is the world's largest recruitment platform that specializes in remote full-time jobs. We enable professionals from around the globe to prove the world-class skills needed to qualify for coveted remote careers, working asynchronously from anywhere in the world. Our 70+ clients are innovative tech companies (mostly American), and have hired over 5,000 of Crossover's best candidates from 130+ countries.

Q: Am I eligible to apply for a job on Crossover?

Crossover has hired from over 130 countries, chances are this includes your one. To apply, all you need is a strong internet connection and the desire to work hard. After you apply, you'll complete a series of assessments to prove you've got the aptitude and skills the job requires. The quality standard is very high, so don't be disheartened if it doesn't work out: check the Current Openings page for another role that matches your skills, and you won't need to repeat any of the assessments you've already passed. Note: as a US-based company, we cannot accept applications from residents or citizens of countries embargoed by the United States government, including: Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Belarus, and sanctioned regions of Ukraine. Additionally, California state regulations prevent its residents from receiving job offers for any position which hires independent contractors not employees. This typically allows Californian residents to apply for 'in-person' and 'hybrid with travel' roles, but excludes them from most 'global-remote' positions.

Q: How is the pay calculated?

Yes, it really is that high. We require our clients to set the pay upfront based on the global value of the work, and the successful applicant will receive that amount no matter where they live. If they are the best person for the job, it shouldn't matter whether they live in Silicon Valley or Sri Lanka. Most positions are calculated based on an hourly rate e.g. a $100k role = $50 per hour x 40 hours per week x 50 weeks (assuming 2 weeks of annual leave as a baseline, though self-employed contractors have the autonomy to plan their own vacation schedule).

Q: Why is the pay above-market?

Crossover believes in equal pay for equal work, period. We require our clients to set the pay upfront based on the global value of the work—not the location of the person who ends up being hired to do it. If they are the best, it shouldn't matter whether they are in Silicon Valley or Sri Lanka. Some people say we're crazy because we could underpay people who live in low-GDP countries, but we say they're short-sighted. The long term value of having the best people in the world playing for your team is a far greater competitive advantage. It's also worth noting that because most positions are 100% remote, our clients reduce overheads like rent and office snacks. And because most positions are independent contracting roles, we recommend the pay be set high enough that the new recruit can take care of everything that an employer would do for an employee (e.g. taxes, healthcare, retirement plan, time off etc), and still be left with more expendable income than they had before.

Q: What are the employee benefits?

The vast majority of roles on Crossover are independent contracting positions. As is standard for any self-employed person, the stated pay is the entire compensation package, and contractors are responsible for handling anything that an employer would do for employees (e.g. taxes, equipment, vacation time and health insurance). One of the main reasons that Crossover jobs typically pay a lot more than local jobs is to overcompensate for this; so the pay is still higher even after these deductions. Watch the video below to hear some of our successful hires dish the details on what makes it hard— and why it's worth it .

Q: Do Crossover contractors receive benefits like annual leave and healthcare?

We factor the cost of benefits like paid vacation and healthcare into the total pay package, which is one of the reasons that Crossover roles typically pay above-market rates. As contractors, our partners are free to make their own decisions around which local healthcare coverage is best for their needs. Our clients’ leave policies for contractors tend to be very flexible and it is often possible to take time off at short notice, provided work is under control.

Q: Do you hire employees or independent contractors?

Most positions are independent contractors. This is the only way to work with the top people all over the world – regardless of which countries they’re eligible to be employed in. We identify the top talent in the world and give them the opportunity to contract their services to the hiring company. It's sometimes possible for US residents to be onboarded as employees at the discretion of the hiring company. These rare instances will be noted in the FAQs on the job description page, but generally it's safest to assume that any Crossover job offer will be extended on a self-employed contract basis.

Description

You’re an engineer who doesn’t tolerate bad code, slow deployments, or outdated development practices. You don’t just write software—you build AI-driven systems that make traditional engineering look sluggish and inefficient. If that sounds like you, keep reading.

Most software teams are still writing code the old way—manual debugging, trial-and-error deployments, and features that barely leverage AI beyond a sprinkle of Copilot suggestions. Trilogy is different. Every part of our development process is infused with AI: feature ideation, bug detection, defect resolution, and performance optimization. This isn’t about dabbling in AI tools; this is about fully integrating AI into the software lifecycle to eliminate waste, ship faster, and build with precision.

In this role, you will take existing B2B products, break them down, rebuild them as cloud-native applications, and optimize them with AI at every level. You’ll be developing and deploying AI-powered features, using cutting-edge retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for automated defect detection, and ensuring every release is smooth—zero outages, zero disruptions, zero excuses. If you're looking for a job where you spend weeks debating architecture decisions instead of shipping, this isn’t it.

If you’re ready to push the boundaries of AI-driven software engineering and accelerate your career, apply now. If you prefer sticking to what you already know, writing test cases by hand, or working in teams that are afraid of automation, this isn’t for you.

Candidate requirements

At least 4 years of professional experience in commercial software development, focusing on production code for server-side web applications
At least 1 year of experience with serverless architectures and cloud-native development (any cloud vendor)
Experience using GenAI code assistants (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor, v0.dev); we are not looking for traditional ML engineers without LLM experience
Experience writing production-level code in at least two general-purpose coding languages, such as Typescript, Javascript, Python, or C#
Experience developing APIs
Experience using SQL databases
