  • Experiment with and apply emerging tools and platforms such as LangChain and Mistral, bringing new ideas to the team.
  • Move from experimentation to real-world applications, developing proof of concepts and advancing projects to full production.

What They’re Looking For:

  • Experience: 4 – 10 years in software engineering, with some exposure to or interest in GenAI or machine learning (while not mandatory, this is a strong plus).
  • Pragmatic engineering focus: A hands-on and solution-oriented approach, with the ability to move quickly from concept to practical, scalable applications.
  • Security focus: Strong understanding of Security by Design principles and experience implementing data protection in software solutions.
  • Client-facing skills: Ability to simplify complex concepts, lead technical discussions, and provide actionable advice to clients.
  • Mentorship: A passion for mentoring others, sharing expertise, and fostering a collaborative, knowledge-driven environment.

Why Join This Studio?
