You’ll be part of a cross-functional team building cloud-native, AI-powered prototypes and automating them into scalable, production-ready solutions. The role requires 40 hours per week over a minimum of 12 months and includes close collaboration with US-based teammates, so some schedule overlap is expected.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring AI prototypes to life and scale them to production
• Contribute to team development through mentorship, technical guidance, and sharing best practices
• Maintain high standards of code quality, performance, and security while adapting to evolving business needs

• 5+ years of software development experience, with strong backend and cloud architecture skills
• 2+ years of hands-on experience working with AWS services and serverless architecture
• Expertise in Python and familiarity with API integrations and cloud-native application design
• Proficiency with Terraform and Docker for infrastructure automation and containerization
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills in a fully remote setting
• Availability to overlap with US working hours
• Bonus points for experience with React/Next.js, data engineering, or a personal interest in finance/investing

• Competitive hourly rate of $80—$110 USD, depending on experience
• 100% remote work with flexible schedule
• Long-term contract (12 months minimum)
• Opportunity to work on impactful AI initiatives at scale
