Senior AI Software Engineer (f/m/d)

Experience level: mid senior level.

We’re building a product that helps investors make better decisions by combining real-time market data, news and GenAI into a product used daily by investors.

We’re looking for a Senior AI Software Engineer with strong Python and AWS experience who enjoys taking ownership and shipping products end-to-end. You’ll work primarily with Python, FastAPI, GenAI and AWS , building scalable backend services, AI-powered features and data pipelines. You'll make real architectural decisions, like knowing when an LLM beats a well-tuned ML model or a simple heuristic, and own features from idea through production. We move fast, keep things pragmatic and give engineers a lot of ownership.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship AI-powered, full-stack products from idea to production.

• Develop scalable backend services with Python & FastAPI.

• Design, deploy and operate production systems on AWS.

• Drive architecture and technical decisions and contribute to code reviews.

• Build practical GenAI solutions and evaluate where LLMs actually add value.

• Use AI coding tools such as Claude or Codex to improve development workflows.

• Own reliability, observability and performance of what you build.

• Senior-level Software Engineering experience with a strong track record of shipping production software.

• Practical experience with GenAI and AI-assisted development.

• Experience in a startup, scale-up or similarly fast-moving environment.

• Strong end-to-end ownership: you take problems from architecture → code → deployment → production.

• Pragmatic engineering mindset: build simple solutions, ship fast, iterate.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to make independent technical decisions.

• Strong Python skills — Python is central to this role.

• Hands-on AWS experience or similar cloud provider — this is essential.

• Experience with FastAPI, cloud architecture and production systems.

• Terraform / Other Infrastructure as Code

• TypeScript / Angular / React

• Microservices & data pipelines

• Experience with finance, markets, trading or investment products
