Giotto.ai is building intelligence systems for Europe, focused on advanced reasoning AI, efficient machine learning architectures, and robust AI infrastructure.
We are assembling a team of exceptional engineers and builders who want to work on technically challenging systems, combining software engineering, system design, infrastructure, and applied AI deployment.
Role Overview:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer capable of designing, building, and operating robust software systems that support large-scale AI workloads and production-grade applications.
This role is suited for an engineer with strong system design skills, solid backend experience, and the ability to work across databases, distributed services, event-driven architectures, deployment pipelines, and application infrastructure.
The role is primarily software engineering focused, with Python as a core language, but experience with frontend development is also valuable, especially for building internal tools, user-facing interfaces, dashboards, and AI-powered applications.
Depending on experience, the role may involve leading a project team or feature squad, although strong senior individual contributors are equally valued.
