Senior AI Engineer $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
Traditional coding practices have long contributed to delays in software deployment, with approximately 30% of projects running beyond schedule due to inefficiencies and errors. The software development industry now faces a pressing need to accelerate development cycles, minimize human error, and improve code quality—factors that directly impact product time-to-market and customer satisfaction.
IgniteTech is at the forefront of this transformation, deploying advanced GenAI technologies to fundamentally reshape software architecture and development workflows. This position diverges from conventional roles focused on incremental gains. Instead, it provides the opportunity to spearhead strategic AI-driven initiatives that revolutionize—not merely enhance—software development processes, significantly improving efficiency and competitive positioning.
This is a strategic role designed for individuals committed to operating at the cutting edge of technology. It extends well beyond operational or task-based work, encompassing extensive research and development, prototyping, and the practical application of AI in building next-generation software solutions. The ideal candidate combines deep proficiency in AI and software architecture with a visionary mindset for leveraging technology to drive business innovation.
In this capacity, you will guide our team in establishing architectural frameworks and strategies that embed AI into our software offerings. Your contributions will be integral to our mission, directly shaping the productivity and quality of our output. If you are passionate about expanding the frontiers of technology and eager to deliver measurable impact in the software industry, we invite you to join us.
What you will be doing
- Architect overarching frameworks for AI-driven systems that automate sophisticated elements of software development, including architecture generation, dependency management, and advanced predictive coding capabilities.
- Engage deeply with emerging developments in AI and software engineering through R&D activities, conference participation, and active involvement in academic and professional networks. We require early awareness and adoption of new AI technologies as they emerge.
What you will NOT be doing
- Routine Code Maintenance: Performing regular updates or debugging of existing code to address minor issues or incremental functionality improvements.
- Standard Software Development: Executing basic coding or development tasks that involve straightforward feature implementation without AI integration.
Key responsibilities
- Apply your engineering expertise to drive substantial gains in development speed, reductions in human error, and improvements in code quality, directly accelerating time-to-market for software products and elevating customer satisfaction.
Candidate requirements
- A minimum of 3 years of experience as a full-stack software developer (both front-end and back-end coding expertise required)
- Extensive hands-on experience using GenAI code assistants (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev)
- Proven track record of successfully implementing Generative AI products/projects/solutions/tools
- Demonstrated experience applying different LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to address business challenges
- Clear understanding of when and why to select specific LLM models for distinct tasks
- Practical knowledge and prior application of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
