AIMLPythonRustAbout the job
We are hiring AI-first engineers for our core team in Zug. No legacy code. No daily meetings. No reports to non-technical managers.
Core team: what you'll work on and how
- You will work on the core of our AI technology and AI-enabled applications, with real-time code in a safe subset of Rust, and non-real-time & tools in Python.
- You will rely heavily on AI tools & agentic workflows to exceed what is possible.
- You will use closed- and open-source LLMs from multiple vendors both for development and inside our products.
- Everyone fullstack. Even your manager.
- You will not work on any task for more than a week. If it can't be done in a week - it will be abandoned or not even started. It will not get boring.
- You will work with little/no supervision. There is no one to cover for you. No hand holding.
- This is an on-site position.
Requirements
- Extensive experience in AI-powered development, especially with CLI tools & agents. Using tab-autocomplete in Cursor or VS Code is <1% of what is needed.
- Deep understanding of AI/ML concepts and underlying technology (especially LLMs and their internal operation, context management, RAG).
- Proficiency in Python, Git, and any strongly-typed non-garbage-collected language, Linux as the main development/deployment platform.
- Fluent English - this is the language of all internal communication and documentation.
- You can always justify your engineering choices, but accept that sometimes there are multiple correct ways to complete a task.
- You understand all code you commit and take responsibility for it. This sounds like a joke, but it is no longer a joke.
Successful candidates will receive a link to the full application form, including a test task.
