Navigator, the AI agents inside Journeys and Hire, and work we have not announced yet. Our development team builds with AI every day, and we are adding an engineer whose whole focus is the AI in our products.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role. You write the code, design the systems, measure the results and ship the features yourself. Your opinions on where our AI goes next carry weight because you are doing the work.\nWhat you will do\nBuild and ship AI features across our products, from first design through production, together with the rest of the development team\nGo deep on the models and the tooling around them. Compare new releases against what we ship today, measure quality and cost on real workloads, and switch when the numbers say so\nMake our AI features measurably better over time, and know how often they are right before we call them done\nKeep up with the field so the rest of us do not have to. When something new matters, you bring a working proposal, not a link\nBe the first call for customer success and sales when a customer asks what our AI can do, and turn what you hear into product decisions\nShare what you learn with the rest of the engineering team, so our AI knowledge grows with the team\nWho you are\nA programmer at heart. You have built and shipped software people use, and you still write and review code yourself\nYou have built on top of LLMs and know where they break in production\nYou measure before you believe. An AI feature that looks good in a demo is not done until you know how often it is right\nYou think in systems: you can discuss architecture, see the consequences of a design and know when the simple solution is enough\nYou use AI daily and have opinions, backed by experience, on where it is strong and where it falls over\nYou see AI as a way to do more, not as a threat and not as magic\nYou review what AI writes as carefully as what people write\nSomeone people enjoy working with, who can explain AI to developers and non-developers alike\nFluent English\nWe don't require a set number of years of experience. We care more about how you think and what you've built.\nNice to have\nExperience with Python/Django or React/TypeScript, which is our stack\nExperience with evaluation frameworks for LLM features\nIcelandic\nWhy join 50skills?\nAI features in production, with real usage to improve them against, not a prototype\nA technical, product-focused team that already builds with AI every day\nHigh autonomy in a field that changes every month, and a direct line to the CTO\nA low-ego, ambitious, friendly team across Iceland, Sweden and the UK\nCompetitive compensation, a flexible and family-friendly environment, and a work-from-home policy\nYou pick your own equipment, with support for mobile, home internet and more\nLunch at the on-site canteen in Hlíðasmári\nAbout 50skills\n50skills is on a mission to transform People Operations: empowering HR teams to embrace AI and automation, and turning HR into one of the most exciting places in a company to work with technology. Our customers use our platforms and services to create customisable, AI-powered workflows, automate manual tasks, and streamline processes like onboarding, internal mobility, and compliance, all without code. Alongside our products, we offer hands-on services for customers who want us building with them.\nWe believe the HR teams that embrace AI and automation will move faster, spend their time on people rather than paperwork, and deliver better employee experiences, and we intend to lead that shift. We are an Icelandic company with team members across Iceland, Sweden, and the UK, and we are committed to building a diverse workplace. We strongly encourage people of all genders and backgrounds to apply.\nAI in our hiring\nWe use AI tools to help us review and evaluate applications, for example to summarize and assess CVs, cover letters, application answers, and video interviews. AI assists our team, it does not make hiring decisions on its own: a person always reviews your application and makes the final call. You can opt out of AI-assisted evaluation and it will not count against you.\nHow to apply\nApply by October 19, 2026. We review applications as they come in, so earlier is better.
