AI Software Engineer

Headquarters: London, UK
URL: https://slidespeak.co


We're looking for a motivated Full Stack Software Engineer who wants to make a significant impact. As part of our small but growing team of 10, your work will directly influence the core product, enhancing our offering at a global scale. We're building out a one-of-a-kind AI-first presentation editor, so we hope you like working with 2D graphics.
Key Responsibilities:

Develop and optimize front-end UI with NextJS, React, and TypeScript
Build and maintain backend services using Next, Python, FastAPI, and other frameworks
Develop LLM and ML services to generate content for presentations (images, infographics, icons, content, ...)
Collaborate on database management and query optimization
Contribute to all phases of the development lifecycle, from design to deployment

About you
You are looking to grow rapidly in a insanely fast environment. You're eager to learn and contribute meaningfully to a product that's changing how millions of people create presentations.
You move fast and can adapt quickly. We've entered a phase of growth where there is more work to do than there are people to do it - this means everyone on the team will be busy, but there are also countless opportunities to grow.
You have a high quality bar for your work, even when moving quickly. As we scale our teams and customer base, the expectations of our software rises with it. We love engineers with a product sense that think of users and keep design and UX in mind.
You're looking for teammates, not coworkers - folks you can learn from and grow with at SlideSpeak, and beyond.
