SlideSpeak: 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.
