Job Overview

Soldered Electronics is looking for an AI Application Engineer to build and maintain the internal applications our teams depend on, developed to specification for departments across the company. The systems, processes, and expectations for this role are already set up and ready to go, so you can ramp up quickly and start shipping.

This is a hands-on engineering role built around AI-accelerated development. You use AI intensively to speed up your work, but as a tool, not a replacement for your own judgment: you are responsible for the outputs you get, you build critical infrastructure yourself, and you test rigorously to guarantee stability and correctness before anything ships. You report to the Project Manager, and you're expected to understand company processes and goals well enough that deadlines and quality are never a source of concern.

A significant part of this role is building the applications the content team relies on to produce and manage Soldered's product content, so you'll work closely with them to understand their workflow and turn it into reliable tools. Beyond that, you're proactive across the company's IT systems more broadly, occasionally helping maintain servers and providing IT support to colleagues. Over your first year, you'll also build real depth on Soldered's products and customers, particularly around how that content gets made.

Key Responsibilities

• Developing internal applications to specification for various departments across the company

• Using AI tools intensively to accelerate development, while retaining full control over and responsibility for the output

• Building and testing critical infrastructure yourself to ensure stability and correctness

• Understanding company processes and goals well enough to deliver against specification independently

• Proactively monitoring, maintaining and improving the company's IT systems

• Building and maintaining the tools the content team relies on to produce and manage Soldered product content

• Building deep product and customer knowledge along the way, particularly around how that content gets made

KPIs

The following KPIs define success for this role. We don't expect them on day one, but these are the targets you will be measured against:

• Within 1 month: Full understanding of the current structure of the company's IT systems and applications

• Within 3 months: Developing new systems independently to specification

You Are

• Proactive, with a genuine interest in learning new technologies and no fear of trying new things

• Highly familiar with current AI solutions, you've actually used and tested them, not just read about them

• Someone who understands software architecture and its core concepts, such as databases and APIs

• Comfortable programming in at least 2 programming languages

• Some experience with (web) applications development

• Business fluent in English, spoken and written (mandatory)

• [Preferred] Experienced building applications using tools like Claude Code or Codex

• Aligned with how we work: no egos, full ownership, direct communication, and a bias toward simple solutions

We Are

• A fast-growing electronics company with in-house development and manufacturing

• Shipping 200+ products to customers and distributors in 85+ countries

• A team with high standards, minimal bureaucracy, and zero micromanagement

• A place where strong performers get real responsibility and rewards fast

What We Offer

Besides the benefits that every modern company offers, we also offer:

• A reporting line to the Project Manager, with clear expectations and fast feedback

• Real ownership over the internal tools and systems the whole company depends on

• The chance to work at the edge of AI-assisted software development, not just talk about it

• A lean environment where you learn fast through real projects, in a culture focused on growth, feedback, and continuous improvement

• Work with small teams of young, motivated, and helpful people

The salary range and any bonus structure are listed on the left side of this ad.
