About the Role
We're a fast-moving, early-stage startup operating in the
AI-powered talent acquisition
space, and we're hiring
AI Engineers
to tackle two of our most critical technical challenges: scaling our backend infrastructure and optimizing the LLM and AI agent flows that power our core product. You'll join a small, high-agency engineering team where your work has direct and immediate impact on platform performance and user experience.
We're looking to bring on
1–2 exceptionally strong, startup-motivated engineers
who are passionate about building reliable, production-grade AI systems.
What You'll Do
• Take full ownership of backend scalability — design, build, and maintain services and systems that perform reliably at scale.
• Tune, iterate on, and optimize LLM integrations and AI agent orchestration pipelines to improve reliability, efficiency, and output quality.
• Collaborate closely with a fast-moving team, shipping meaningfully and often.
• Contribute to shaping engineering culture and technical direction as an early team member.
Requirements (dealbreakers)
• Based in Stockholm, or legally eligible to work and willing to relocate to Stockholm —
no visa sponsorship available
.
• 5+ years of backend software engineering experience delivering scalable production systems.
• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs and optimizing AI agent workflows in live production environments.
Required skills & experience
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals — you've built systems that scale and you've felt the pain of when they don't.
• Practical experience shipping AI-driven features in production; you understand the nuances of LLM reliability and performance tuning.
• Startup experience — you're comfortable with ambiguity, own your work end-to-end, and move fast without waiting for permission.
Nice to have
• A strong portfolio of side projects that demonstrates technical depth and sustained curiosity.
• Experience building AI-driven features in a consumer or marketplace product context.
• Background in fast-growing early-stage startups (pre-seed through Series A/B).
We value
demonstrated ownership and high agency over formal credentials. A track record of consistently shipping software over time matters more to us than where you studied.
