Job Level
About the role
- From developer to co-creator: As AI takes over repetitive coding tasks, your strategic influence on product development grows.
- You will learn to analyze business models and user needs, formulate hypotheses, and translate your findings into roadmaps and product-focused backlogs.
- Architecture & responsibility in the AI era: You build software that not only works but is well-structured and sustainable long-term—based on proven architectural principles and modern patterns.
- You will identify risks associated with AI usage, monitor AI decisions, and keep an eye on costs, API limits, and system performance.
- AI-powered development & deployment: You use modern AI tools to develop stable prototypes or complete MVPs, run automated tests, and deploy securely.
- You monitor AI decisions—from the quality and compliance with your requirements to observability in live operation.

Requirements
- You have a passion for technology and enjoy building products that delight users.

- You can empathize with users and stakeholders and understand how to think about technical solutions from a product perspective.
- You are willing to dive into complex, fast-growing topics such as AI development and agentic workflows.
- You don’t stand still: changes in the tech stack and new tools motivate you rather than unsettle you.
