Senior Software Engineer | Kimchi Studio

Why Kimchi?

Great models are raw ingredients. Kimchi is what happens when you ferment them with good
engineering. We started inside CAST AI helping companies run LLMs on their own Kubernetes
clusters; today we run our own coding harness on any LLM you pick.

Kimchi Studio

Studio is where your team's agents work together: a desktop app that brings autonomous coding
agents, model orchestration, and your entire toolchain into one collaborative UI. Multiple agents on
separate branches side by side with native git worktree support. Every agent action visible, diffable,
and undoable. Local first on your machine, remote sessions when you need them.
You'll own features end to end: design, implementation, testing, production rollout. Most projects
ship in 1-4 weeks. You'll work directly with product and other engineering teams on problems that
don't have textbook solutions.

You might be a fit if…

• You've personally driven a complex product feature from idea to shipped, and you can tell that
  story with receipts.
• You're a full-stack engineer: TypeScript where the product lives (Electron/React UI, Node
  services) and Go where the backend lives. Strong in one, ready to go deep in the other, and
  honest about which is which.
• You have deep debugging and performance instincts: when the app janks or a query slows down,
  you find the cause through query profiles and flame graphs.
• You care about UX, speed, and polish. In a desktop app every millisecond is visible, and you push
  back when something feels wrong.
  Bonus: shipping Electron apps at scale (updates, code signing, multi-platform builds), Kubernetes
  internals, or building your own AI workflows and harnesses at home.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary (€6,500 - €9,000 gross, depending on the level of experience).
• Enjoy a flexible, remote-first global environment.
• Collaborate with a global team of cloud experts and innovators, passionate about pushing the boundaries of Kubernetes technology
• Equity options.
• Get quick feedback with a fast-paced workflow. Most feature projects are completed in 1 to 4 weeks.

• Learning budget for professional and personal development - including access to international conferences and courses that elevate your skills.
• Annual hackathon to spark new ideas and strengthen team bonds.
• Team-building budget and company events to connect with your colleagues.
• Equipment budget to ensure you have everything you need.
• Extra days off to help maintain a healthy work-life balance.
