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

Traditional coding practices have historically contributed to delayed software deployment, with approximately 30% of projects running past their planned timelines due to inefficiencies and errors. The software development industry is now undergoing rapid transformation as organizations prioritize faster development cycles, reduced human error, and higher code quality—factors that directly impact product time-to-market and customer satisfaction. At IgniteTech, we are pioneering this transformation by embedding advanced GenAI technologies into the core of software architecture and development. This position goes beyond incremental improvement work; it offers the unique opportunity to spearhead AI-driven initiatives that fundamentally reshape how software is built. You will play a central role in applying AI to revolutionize development processes and outcomes, driving efficiency and competitive advantage at a strategic level. This is a role built for individuals determined to work at the cutting edge of technology and innovation. It is not an operational or task-execution role; instead, it is a strategic position involving substantial research and development, prototyping, and the deployment of AI in creating next-generation software solutions. The ideal candidate is not only technically proficient in AI and software architecture but also possesses a visionary outlook on leveraging technology to drive business innovation. In this capacity, you will guide our team in establishing the architectural frameworks and strategies that weave AI into our software offerings. Your contributions will be central to our mission, directly shaping the productivity and quality of what we deliver. If you are passionate about expanding the frontiers of technology and eager to drive meaningful impact in the software industry, we invite you to join us. What You Will Be Doing

• Architect overarching AI-driven systems that automate sophisticated elements of software development, including architecture generation, dependency management, and advanced predictive coding capabilities.
• Engage deeply with the latest advancements in AI and software engineering through R&D initiatives, conference participation, and active involvement in academic and professional communities. Our objective is to be among the earliest adopters whenever new AI technologies emerge.

What You Won’t Be Doing

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

AI Software Engineer Key Responsibilities

• Apply your engineering expertise to achieve substantial gains in development speed, reductions in human error, and improvements in code quality, thereby accelerating time-to-market for software products and elevating customer satisfaction.

Basic Requirements

• A minimum of 3 years of experience as a full-stack software developer (you must possess both front-end and back-end coding expertise)
• Extensive experience using GenAI code assistants (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev)
• Proven track record of successfully implementing Generative AI products/projects/solutions/tools
• Demonstrated experience leveraging various LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to address business problems
• Clear understanding of when and why to select specific LLM models for different tasks
• Demonstrated understanding and prior application of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
