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

Overview

Traditional coding practices have historically slowed software deployment, with an estimated 30% of projects missing their timelines due to inefficiencies and errors. The software development industry is now evolving rapidly, driven by the need to accelerate development cycles, minimize human error, and improve code quality—factors that directly impact product time-to-market and customer satisfaction.

IgniteTech is at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging advanced GenAI technologies to fundamentally reshape software architecture and development. This position differs from traditional roles focused on incremental improvements by offering the opportunity to spearhead critical AI-driven initiatives. You will lead efforts to integrate AI in ways that revolutionize—not merely enhance—software development processes, delivering significant gains in efficiency and competitive advantage at a strategic level.

This role is built for individuals determined to operate at the cutting edge of technology and innovation. It is a strategic position requiring extensive research and development, prototyping, and the application of AI to build next-generation software solutions—not a task-oriented or purely operational function. We seek candidates who are not only skilled in AI and software architecture but who also bring a visionary mindset to applying technology for business transformation.

You will guide our team in defining the architectural frameworks and strategies that embed AI into our software solutions. Your contributions will be central to our mission, directly shaping the productivity and quality of our deliverables. We welcome you to join us if you are committed to expanding the limits of technology and motivated to drive meaningful change in the software industry.

What You Will Be Doing

• Architect AI-driven systems that automate sophisticated elements of software development, including architecture generation, dependency management, and advanced predictive coding.
• Engage deeply with emerging developments in AI and software engineering through R&D activities, conference participation, and collaboration with academic and professional networks. We require early awareness and adoption when new AI technologies are released.
  
  

• 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 simple features or functionalities without AI integration.
  
  

• Apply your engineering expertise to achieve substantial increases in development speed, reductions in human error, and improvements in code quality, driving faster time-to-market for software products and higher customer satisfaction.
  
  

• 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)
