AI Engineer✦ anywhere

About the Role

We're a small, fast-moving team building an AI-driven talent platform that connects candidates directly with startups — no job boards, no resume black holes.

Your work will have direct, visible impact on platform performance and user experience from day one.

We're looking to hire one or two exceptionally strong, startup-motivated engineers who thrive in environments where ownership, speed, and craft matter.

Work closely with a lean engineering team where your decisions carry real weight.

Eligible to work in Sweden (visa sponsorship is not available ).

A strong portfolio of side projects that demonstrates technical depth and sustained curiosity.

-
Experience building AI-driven features end-to-end in production.
