Description
Software development today faces mounting pressure to accelerate delivery cycles, minimize defects, and improve overall code quality. These objectives matter because they directly influence product launch timelines and customer satisfaction levels. Historically, software deployment has been delayed by conventional coding methods, with approximately 30% of projects running past deadlines due to process inefficiencies and coding errors.
IgniteTech is spearheading this shift by embedding cutting-edge GenAI capabilities into software architecture and development workflows. Rather than focusing on incremental gains, this position provides a compelling chance to drive major AI-powered initiatives. You will operate at the leading edge of AI integration—not simply improving existing workflows, but fundamentally transforming how software is designed and delivered, delivering substantial gains in efficiency and market competitiveness at a strategic scale.
This role suits professionals motivated to work at the frontier of technological innovation. It is not an operational or task-execution role; instead, it is strategic in nature, involving significant research and development activity, prototyping efforts, and the application of AI to build next-generation software products. The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in both AI and software architecture, coupled with a visionary mindset toward applying technology for business transformation.
In this capacity, you will guide our team in defining the architectural blueprints and strategies that embed AI throughout our software offerings. Your contributions will be central to our mission, directly shaping the productivity and quality of what we deliver. We encourage you to apply if you are committed to advancing the limits of technology and ready to create measurable impact within the software sector.
What you will be doing
- Architect comprehensive frameworks for AI-powered systems that automate sophisticated elements of software development, including architecture generation, dependency orchestration, and advanced predictive coding capabilities.
- Immerse yourself in emerging AI and software engineering developments through research and development projects, conference participation, and active involvement in academic and industry networks. As new AI technologies emerge, we must be positioned among the earliest adopters.
What you will NOT be doing
- Routine Code Maintenance: Ongoing updates or debugging of legacy software code to address minor defects or incremental functionality improvements.
- Standard Software Development: Conventional coding or software development work that involves delivering straightforward features or capabilities without AI-driven innovation.
Key responsibilities
- Apply your engineering knowledge to achieve substantial gains in development velocity, minimize human error, and enhance code quality, thereby accelerating time-to-market for software products and increasing customer satisfaction.
Candidate requirements
- At least 3 years of experience as a full-stack software developer (you must have both front-end and back-end coding expertise)
- Experience using GenAI code assistants heavily (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev)
- Previous experience successfully implementing Generative AI products/projects/solutions/tools
- Previous experience leveraging different LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to solve business problems
- An understanding of when and why to choose specific LLM models for different tasks
- Demonstrated understanding and prior application of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
