ScultureAI is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to take charge of developing scalable backend systems and AI-powered solutions. You’ll work with advanced technologies like Python, Django, and Kubernetes, while integrating large language models (LLMs) into production. This is a key role where you’ll have a significant impact on shaping our cutting-edge platform.

The Company

ScultureAI is a technology startup, developing an innovative solution to shaping organisational culture for the benefit of our clients, their staff, their customers, and society at large. Our unique approach uses state-of-the-art AI to coach everyday interactions as staff interact with each other and with external stakeholders.

Although organisations are often good at identifying the culture they want, they have not had the tools to implement and reinforce culture where it is actually shaped – in invisible, every day, and largely digital interactions. ScultureAI and its products change that.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and equity options.
• Flexible working hours and a remote-first environment.
• Opportunity to work on groundbreaking AI technology.
• Learning and development budget to support your career growth.
• A supportive, inclusive team culture where your contributions make a real impact.

• Strong understanding of software architecture and scalable design.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms like AWS.
