About you

You’ve been a software engineer for 5+ years, but you’ve been a tinkerer and a builder your whole life. We’re a team of builders—when we aren’t building Vic.ai, we’re tinkering with a personal project, contributing to open source, modding a drone, building a computer from components, etc.

We’re looking for an experienced developer who enjoys working with server-side technologies. You possess a good mixture of DevOps and application development skills and would like to build innovative solutions with experienced teammates in a flexible environment.

You should have plenty of experience in building performant, easy to use, well-monitored, and well tested APIs, designing efficient data flows, communicating clearly, sharing knowledge, and questioning existing solutions.

You’re ready for the next step in your career, ready to take on fast-moving challenges. You’re enthusiastic about AI and the possibilities it opens for software development and transforming traditional work. You aim at reaching greatness and delivering exceptional outcomes in your work.

As a team player, you are not afraid of reaching out to your colleagues to discuss development challenges, especially when you are stuck trying to solve a specific issue.

You are fluent in English.

• Ship products and services as part of a small, collaborative team
