• Setting up and orchestrating AI agents for:
o Automated code generation and refactoring
o Code validation and review
o Automated testing and test generation
o Documentation and API specification creation
• Building and maintaining MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and integrating them into development workflows
• Orchestrating multiple AI agents to work together on complex development tasks
• Developing core backend services for:
o Customer data management and customer 360° view
o Order management and fulfillment orchestration
o Product catalog and configuration services
o Billing integration and account management
• Contributing to the team's adoption of AI-first development practices while ensuring enterprise-grade quality and security
• Building high-performance APIs and event-driven architectures using Kafka, with AI assistance for optimization and testing
• Mentoring team members on effective AI tool usage and best practices
• Collaborating with architects to design systems that leverage both human expertise and AI capabilities
What makes this role unique
This position is at the intersection of enterprise transformation and AI innovation. You'll have the opportunity to:
• Work with an expert team while being the AI-augmented development champion
• Build the playbook for AI-augmented enterprise software development
• Set an example in showing how senior developers can multiply their impact through AI
• Work on one of Slovakia's most complex IT transformations while pioneering new development methodologies.
If you're a senior developer who has embraced AI as a force multiplier rather than a threat, and you're excited about collaborating with an expert team while championing this new paradigm and delivering enterprise-scale solutions, we want to hear from you.
