About the role
At Kiwi, we're building financial products used by thousands of customers across lending, payments, risk, customer support, and internal operations.

Lead the design and evolution of product architecture across backend, frontend, and AI-powered services.
Contribute directly to the codebase as a hands-on engineer.
Build and scale APIs, microservices, and event-driven systems.
Design solutions that balance performance, reliability, maintainability, and speed of delivery.
Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data, and Operations teams.
Help define engineering standards and best practices.
Drive the adoption of AI capabilities across products and internal tools.
Support the design and implementation of agent-based systems, automation workflows, and intelligent user experiences.
Mentor engineers and help raise the technical bar across the team.

Hands-on experience building products that leverage LLMs, agents, automation, or AI-powered workflows.
Experience integrating AI capabilities into production applications.
Familiarity with agent orchestration frameworks, tool calling, RAG architectures, or conversational systems.
Understanding of evaluation, observability, and monitoring for AI-powered systems.
Soft Skills
Strong ownership mindset.
Ability to balance technical excellence with business needs.
Comfortable working in fast-moving environments.

What we offer
Direct impact on architecture and product decisions at a company-wide level.
The opportunity to build and scale products used by thousands of customers across lending, payments, risk, customer support, and internal operations.
Real-world challenges around scalability, reliability, performance, and distributed systems.
A highly autonomous environment with significant ownership and decision-making responsibility.
