AI Software Engineer, IgniteTech (Remote) - $100,000/year USD

Traditional coding practices have historically slowed software deployment, with approximately 30% of projects running past deadline due to inefficiencies and errors. The software development sector is now undergoing rapid transformation as organizations prioritize faster development cycles, minimized human error, and superior code quality—factors that directly impact product time-to-market and customer satisfaction. IgniteTech is spearheading this shift by embedding advanced GenAI technologies into software architecture and development workflows. This position diverges from conventional roles centered on incremental optimization. Instead, you will spearhead strategic AI-driven initiatives that fundamentally reshape how software is conceived, built, and delivered, driving measurable gains in efficiency and competitive positioning. This is a strategic, research-intensive role—not a task-execution or operational function. It demands extensive prototyping, R&D engagement, and the application of AI to build next-generation software solutions. We seek candidates who combine deep expertise in AI and software architecture with a visionary mindset toward technology-enabled business innovation. You will guide our team in defining the architectural frameworks and strategies that embed AI throughout our software portfolio. Your contributions will be central to our mission, directly shaping the productivity and quality of what we deliver. If you are motivated to expand the frontiers of technology and committed to creating measurable impact in the software industry, we invite you to apply. What You Will Be Doing

• Architect comprehensive AI-driven systems that automate sophisticated elements of software development, including architecture generation, dependency orchestration, and advanced predictive coding capabilities.
• Immerse yourself in the forefront of AI and software engineering through active R&D participation, conference attendance, and collaboration with academic and professional networks. We require early awareness and adoption as new AI technologies emerge.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Routine Code Maintenance: Performing regular updates or debugging of existing codebases to address minor issues or incremental functionality improvements.
• Standard Software Development: Executing basic coding or development tasks that implement straightforward features or functionalities without integration of AI.

AI Software Engineer Key Responsibilities

• Apply your engineering expertise to achieve substantial gains in development velocity, error reduction, and code quality, accelerating software product time-to-market and elevating customer satisfaction.

Basic Requirements

• At least 3 years of experience as a full-stack software developer (you must have both front-end and back-end coding expertise)
• Experience using GenAI code assistants heavily (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev)
• Previous experience successfully implementing Generative AI products/projects/solutions/tools
• Previous experience leveraging different LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to solve business problems
• An understanding of when and why to choose specific LLM models for different tasks
• Demonstrated understanding and prior application of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
