AI First Developer

About Smartcat Smartcat is building the future of work, where human expertise meets digital teammates to drive 10x to 1000x productivity gains for the world’s leading enterprises. We’re on the frontier of an entirely new category: Agentic AI. We enable enterprises to build high-performing hybrid workforces made up of both humans and AI agents. These AI agents aren’t generic copilots. They’re fully trained digital teammates that learn from your best people, your content, and your business strategy—ready to get to work from day one. Our platform combines generative AI, human-in-the-loop workflows, and a living Enterprise Skill Graph that continuously learns and improves. Whether you're launching a product globally, onboarding new hires, translating learning content, or aligning legal teams across regions, Smartcat turns knowledge into action and action into scale. Over 1,000 companies, including 20% of the Fortune 500, rely on Smartcat to bring their business to the world—instantly, accurately, and in every language. As a Series C company with consistently high year-over-year growth, we’re scaling fast and investing in people who want to shape the future of work with us.

If you love challenges, own your outcomes, and are obsessed with delivery, you’ll thrive here. MISSION As an AI-First Engineer, your mission is to deliver production-quality features at a speed and scale that traditional teams cannot match.

Partner with Product and Tech Leads to aggressively accelerate time-to-market. By Day 90: Deliver features faster and with higher quality than baseline teams. Actively mentor others on using AI as a multiplier across development. Become a key driver of the AI-First engineering standard inside the company. WHAT YOU’VE ACCOMPLISHED: Proven track record of delivering production-grade products using AI-driven approach. Mastery in using AI tools (Copilot/Cursor/WindSurf (etc, you choose), GPT APIs, LLMs) across the entire development lifecycle — design, code generation, testing, documentation, and release. Strong technical foundation in AWS, .NET, Python, and MongoDB . Obsessed with delivery: you ship, you improve, you own the outcome. Comfortable moving fast, taking ownership, and constantly pushing for better, faster, smarter execution.
