Job Description:

At Encord, we're building the AI infrastructure of the future. One of the biggest challenges AI companies face today is data quality. The success of any AI application relies heavily on the quality of its training data, yet for most teams, this crucial step is both the most costly and time-consuming. We’re here to change that. We are a talented and ambitious team of 100+, working at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning. Backed by $30M in Series B funding from top investors like CRV and Y Combinator, we’re one of the fastest-growing companies in our space. We have big plans ahead and are looking to expand our Engineering team to help us in building a better product for our customers.

Job Responsibility:

  • Help build a better product for customers
  • Explore and build services for enterprise AI use cases across many different industry verticals (healthcare, surveillance, retail, agriculture, etc.)
  • Work on solving unsolved problems within computer vision and deep learning fields

Requirements:

  • Entrepreneurial mindset
  • Desire to be part of building an early-stage business
  • Experience building and scaling a company (or starting and exiting a business) is a plus
  • Demonstrated grit and ability to overachieve in something incredibly challenging
What we offer:
  • Competitive salary, commission and equity in a hyper growth business
  • Strong in-person culture
  • Room to grow into anything you choose
  • 25 days annual leave a year + public holidays

Expiration Date

Requirements
Requirements
  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of shipping scalable production systems
  • Deep hands-on experience with LLMs in real products — including prompt design, context management, evaluation, and understanding real-world limitations (hallucinations, latency, cost, reliability)
  • Experience building agentic systems is highly valued. Alternatively, deep hands-on work with advanced LLM workflows (tool use, multi-step reasoning, memory, orchestration) and a clear understanding of their trade-offs — along with the drive and technical maturity to quickly evolve toward agentic architectures
  • You think like a builder — ideally a former founding engineer or founder — with a strong instinct for shipping what truly moves the product and the company forward
  • You’re drawn to agent-native architecture and believe this is where software is heading. You’re excited to rethink codebases, APIs, and documentation so AI agents can reliably operate and scale
  • You rely on AI tools daily (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) and treat them as a core part of your engineering workflow — constantly experimenting, refining prompts, and pushing them to meaningfully increase your speed and output
  • Comfortable working in distributed systems and event-driven architectures (e.g., queues, async processing, service-to-service communication)
  • Able to lead complex technical initiatives end-to-end, raising the bar for architecture, quality, and engineering culture
  • Candidates must have the legal right to work in the EU

  • Building AI-powered product features
  • Enhancing and sustaining our internal tech stack, while identifying and incorporating new state-of-the-art technologies
  • Discovering and experimenting across different domains, creating MVPs and POCs, engaging in discussions about findings with fellow engineers and the product team, and planning the execution
  • Make our codebase AI-ready: define clear module boundaries, improve API contracts, add semantic context, and build the structured documentation that makes AI agents more effective across every repo
  • Design and implement agent workflows that go beyond chat: multi-step reasoning, tool use, autonomous task execution, and human-gated checkpoints
  • Run experiments, validate with real users, and iterate based on evidence. We measure learning velocity, not just output
  • Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to shape what we build, not just how we build it. We expect a product mindset, not just technical execution
  • Act as a knowledge multiplier, sharing what you learn across and beyond your team to raise the bar for everyone
