About Our Client

The company is an international AI consultancy that builds proprietary IP, AI-first software products, and practical tools. It operates by helping organisations move from experimentation to embedded capability while designing and building its own platforms and frameworks.

About You

Hands-on experience using AI tools and APIs within software products or development workflows.
Proven ability to think in terms of products rather than just features or tickets.
Experience writing technical specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
Solid understanding of modern web stacks, APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure.
Experience with CI/CD, staging environments, and production releases.
Clear communicator able to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
