About the role
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.

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.
