First off, thank you for considering AIAIAI. Yes, we’re looking for a Software engineer. And yes, there are plenty of other opportunities out there. If you’re exploring your options, you might be thinking about growth, creativity, a sense of purpose, or just a healthier work-life balance. We get it—everyone wants their own version of a “perfect fit.”
What will you do?
We’re an early-stage startup with significant traction, on track to become cashflow positive this year—so there’s no frantic chasing of funding to stay afloat. Our team is small (currently 8 of us) by design, and we plan to grow to around 15 by the end of the year to ensure profitability. From there, we’ll scale linearly—about 3-5 new hires a month—depending on our sales results.
You’ll be working with an experienced development team that’s already built and scaled successful SAAS products. AIAIAI itself was born out of two sister companies, Lifely and Nucleoo, giving you access to a broader network of colleagues and experts in Amsterdam, Granada, and Madrid. We hope you look back in 20 years and say, “That’s where I did some of the most impactful and fulfilling work of my life.”
Addressing the AI-Buzz elephant in the room.
AI—yes, it’s a buzzword filled with smoke and mirrors. That’s not us (or at least, we’re trying not to be). Because no matter how slowly actual adoption might be happening, we’re all being affected by AI in one way or another—teachers feeling the pressure to adapt, office employees expected to deliver more in less time. There’s a huge segment of people, especially once you drive a bit outside big cities, who aren’t “prompting” or tapping into AI to boost productivity. Their jobs—and the relevance of their employers—is at risk. That’s what we address at AIAIAI: helping everyday people use AI in a way that feels natural to them. We meet them where they are, instead of asking them to change. We’ve designed our product so that both employees and companies don’t end up saying “AI AI AI” three years from now because they were blindsided. It’s a product being used daily by users who’d typically fall into the late majority or even “laggards” on the adoption curve. And that’s the mission you’d help drive: making a fast-changing world a bit more manageable for people who just need it to work.

What we ask
- 3+ years in full-stack dev with solid JavaScript/TypeScript, front-end framework (Svelte, React, Vue, or Angular), and either Golang or Python (preferably both).
- Cloud & Containerization
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and IaC tools like Terraform (we primarily use Azure, but any cloud background helps).
- Database Proficiency
- Comfortable with both SQL and NoSQL.
- Git & CI/CD
- Experience setting up and maintaining pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.).
- Analytical Mindset & Communication
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

What we offer
- Impact & Growth: Help shape how we onboard and retain clients at a crucial stage in AIAIAI’s growth. Your success will directly influence our speed of scaling—and your own career trajectory.
- Location & Flexibility: Our office sits on the canals of Amsterdam, a hub of creativity and culture. As a rule of thumb, we believe it’s beneficial to be in the office between 2 and 3 days per week, but we’re not going to be a stickler about it.
- A Stable Early-Stage Environment: We’re on track to become cashflow positive, so you’re joining a startup with real traction (and less existential risk).
- Room to Innovate: We encourage you to bring your best ideas to the table within your contractual hours—minimal hustle-culture overdrive.
- Collaboration & Community: While we’re a tight-knit group of 8, we’re also connected to the larger networks of Lifely and Nucleoo of 120+ employees, offering broader collaboration opportunities.
- Competitive Compensation: We offer a salary and benefits package that aligns with your experience. Since we don’t have a direct benchmark for your role, we’ll work with you to ensure a fair and competitive offer based on your expectations.
