The Era of Just Developers is Over. Who Are We Looking For in 2026?

The IT market is evolving faster than job descriptions can keep up. We see it daily: traditional labels like "Java developer" or "React engineer" are fading, giving way to a new engineering culture.

🚀 What Has Changed?

Today, an engineer's value is defined not just by syntax or framework knowledge, but by the ability to transform an idea into a working production service with minimal friction.

We are looking for those who:

  • 🤖 Leverage AI as a force multiplier: Not just "heard about Copilot," but integrated LLMs into their daily workflow to automate routine tasks and focus on architecture.

  • 🎯 Think product-first: Understand why a microservice is being written and what business problem it solves.

  • ⚙️ Automate everything: If a task can be avoided doing manually twice, it should be automated.

  • Deliver-first: A results-oriented individual who can bring a feature to the user, understanding the entire CI/CD pipeline.

🛠️ What You'll Be Working With?

We collaborate with major market players (Fintech, High-load, AI Platforms), where challenges extend beyond typical CRUD operations.

Our current focuses include:

  • 🧠 AI-native Development: Creating systems where neural networks are not an add-on, but part of the core.

  • 💳 Complex Fintech: High-load platform solutions and payment systems.

  • 🤝 Multi-agent Systems: Developing and implementing agent protocols for business process automation.

🌟 Open Roles:

We are currently expanding our teams in the following areas:

  1. 💻 Backend / Frontend / Fullstack (Stack: Python/Go/Java/Node/React)

  2. 🤖 AI / ML Engineers (LLM, RAG, Agentic workflows)

  3. ☁️ DevOps / Platform Engineers (K8s, High-load infrastructure)

  4. 🧠 Tech Lead (For those ready to build processes and architecture from scratch)

  5. 💡 Product Engineers (Developers with a strong product background)

  6. AI-native Developers (Specialists expertly proficient in generative development tools)

✨ Why Join Us?

  • Speed over Bureaucracy: We value time and common sense more than endless meetings.

  • 🛠️ Engineering Freedom: We choose tools based on the task, not because "that's how it's always been done."

  • 🤝 Strong Community: Work alongside people who live and breathe technology, constantly exploring new frontiers (from Text-to-SQL to A2A protocols).
