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
The software development industry is undergoing rapid transformation, propelled by the need to accelerate development cycles, minimize human error, and improve code quality. These improvements are essential because they directly impact product time-to-market and customer satisfaction. Historically, software deployment timelines have been hindered by conventional coding methods, with approximately 30% of projects running over schedule due to inefficiencies and errors.
IgniteTech is spearheading this evolution by integrating cutting-edge GenAI technologies to reshape software architecture and development practices. Rather than focusing on gradual enhancements, this position provides the exciting prospect of leading critical AI-powered initiatives. You will be positioned at the vanguard of applying AI not merely to improve, but to fundamentally transform software development processes and results, delivering substantial gains in efficiency and competitive advantage at a strategic scale.
This role targets individuals motivated to operate at the forefront of technology and innovation. It is not simply an operational or task-execution position; rather, it is a strategic role encompassing extensive research and development, prototyping, and AI application in building next-generation software solutions. The ideal candidate possesses not only proficiency in AI and software architecture but also a visionary mindset for leveraging technology to drive business innovation.
In this capacity, you will guide our team in defining the architectural frameworks and strategies that embed AI into our software offerings. This position is central to our mission, with your contributions directly shaping the productivity and quality of our outputs. We welcome you to join us if you are committed to advancing the frontiers of technology and determined to deliver measurable impact within the software industry.
What you will be doing
- Architect comprehensive frameworks for AI-powered systems that automate sophisticated elements of software development, including architecture generation, dependency management, and advanced predictive coding capabilities.
- Immerse yourself in the most recent advancements in AI and software engineering through R&D participation, conference attendance, and active engagement with academic and professional networks. When emerging AI technologies are released, we must be among the earliest adopters.
What you will NOT be doing
- Routine Code Maintenance: Performing regular updates or debugging of existing software to address minor issues or enhance functionality.
- Standard Software Development: Executing basic coding or software development tasks that involve delivering straightforward features or functionalities without AI integration.
Key responsibilities
- Apply your engineering expertise to drive substantial gains in development velocity, reductions in human error, and enhancements in code quality, resulting in accelerated time-to-market for software products and improved customer satisfaction.
Candidate requirements
- A minimum of 3 years of experience as a full-stack software developer (you must possess both front-end and back-end coding expertise)
- Extensive experience utilizing GenAI code assistants (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev)
- Prior experience successfully delivering Generative AI products/projects/solutions/tools
- Proven experience using different LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to address business challenges
- An understanding of when and why specific LLM models should be selected for different tasks
- Demonstrated knowledge and previous application of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
