- Building scalable and safe AI components that integrate seamlessly into our SaaS platform.
- Collaborating closely with ML, backend, frontend, and product teams to bring intelligent automation to life.

- Solid understanding of system design, data pipelines, and API-driven automation; comfortable working with vector databases and event-driven services.
- Applied product mindset — translating AI prototypes into reliable, user-facing features that deliver measurable value.
- Familiarity with fintech or accounting systems is a plus, but curiosity and adaptability matter more.
