Not accepting applications on crossover.com at this time.

Description

Delayed timelines and budget overruns plague the software industry, with roughly one-third of projects missing their original deadlines because of obsolete methodologies. Traditional coding approaches no longer suffice to satisfy the escalating need for faster, more dependable, and superior-quality software products.

IgniteTech distinguishes itself through the deployment of revolutionary Generative AI technologies that transform the core principles of software engineering. This position transcends typical AI use cases centered on incremental gains; it involves spearheading large-scale, strategic initiatives that harness AI to dramatically enhance efficiency and foster innovation enterprise-wide. Upon joining, you will design and implement AI-powered systems that compress development cycles, minimize defects, and produce solutions with exceptional scalability, establishing new benchmarks for the software sector.

This position is ideal for candidates who have:

  • Developed code modules that incorporate advanced LLMs into applications (e.g., customer service chatbots, API connections)
  • Augmented legacy systems with predictive analytics or tailored recommendations through automated AI implementations
  • Leveraged AI to swiftly resolve recurring bug corrections and feature enhancements (e.g., real-time language translation or dynamic content personalization)

This position targets seasoned professionals who have already delivered meaningful Generative AI solutions in production environments. If you lack hands-on experience executing comparable projects, this opportunity is not suitable for you.

What you will be doing

  • Developing AI Products and Features: Fine-tune large language models to build entirely new AI-enabled products and discrete modules that integrate smoothly into current solutions or serve as the basis for novel offerings, similar to our team's recent work with www.eloquens.ai
  • Automating Internal Workflows: Deploy sophisticated AI methodologies to automate internal operations and processes

Key responsibilities

  • Drive accelerated product launches and elevated customer satisfaction through ongoing AI-powered enhancements

Candidate requirements

  • AI-First Approach (if your default behavior is to write code manually before using AI tools for verification or refinement, rather than leading with AI, then this role is not appropriate for you)
  • A minimum of 1 year of full-stack development experience (both front-end and back-end coding capabilities are mandatory)
  • Substantial hands-on experience with GenAI code assistants (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev)
  • Demonstrated track record of successfully deploying Generative AI solutions that yielded significant measurable business impact
  • Proven experience applying various LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to address business challenges
  • Knowledge of when and why to select particular LLM models for distinct use cases
