Kimchi is what happens when you ferment them with good engineering. We started inside CAST AI helping companies run LLMs on their own Kubernetes clusters; today we run our own coding harness on any LLM you pick.\nKimchi Studio\nStudio is where your team's agents work together: a desktop app that brings autonomous coding agents, model orchestration, and your entire toolchain into one collaborative UI. Multiple agents on separate branches side by side with native git worktree support. Every agent action visible, diffable,\nand undoable. Local first on your machine, remote sessions when you need them.\nYou'll own features end to end: design, implementation, testing, production rollout. Most projects ship in 1-4 weeks. You'll work directly with product and other engineering teams on problems that don't have textbook solutions.\nYou might be a fit if…\nYou've personally driven a complex product feature from idea to shipped, and you can tell that story with receipts.\nYou're a full-stack engineer: TypeScript where the product lives (Electron/React UI, Node services) and Go where the backend lives. Strong in one, ready to go deep in the other, and honest about which is which.\nYou have deep debugging and performance instincts: when the app janks or a query slows down, you find the cause through query profiles and flame graphs.\nYou care about UX, speed, and polish. In a desktop app every millisecond is visible, and you push back when something feels wrong.Bonus: shipping Electron apps at scale (updates, code signing, multi-platform builds), Kubernetes internals, or building your own AI workflows and harnesses at home.\n\nWhat’s in it for you?\nCompetitive salary (€6,500 - €9,000 gross, depending on the level of experience).\nEnjoy a flexible, remote-first global environment.\nCollaborate with a global team of cloud experts and innovators, passionate about pushing the boundaries of Kubernetes technology\nEquity options.\nGet quick feedback with a fast-paced workflow. Most feature projects are completed in 1 to 4 weeks.\nSpend 10% of your work time on personal projects or self-improvement. \nLearning budget for professional and personal development - including access to international conferences and courses that elevate your skills.\nAnnual hackathon to spark new ideas and strengthen team bonds.\nTeam-building budget and company events to connect with your colleagues.\nEquipment budget to ensure you have everything you need.\nExtra days off to help maintain a healthy work-life balance.\nHiring process\nScreening call with Recruiter\nHiring Manager interview\nTechnical interview (system design)\nLive coding\nCulture Check interview with an executive\nAs part of our standard hiring process, we would like to inform you that a background check may be conducted at the final stage of recruitment through our third-party provider, Checkr.\nPlease note that Cast AI does not provide any form of visa sponsorship/work permit.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2974,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Company events","Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Virtualization & Containers","Cloud Cost & Multi-Cloud Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T19:36:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":77,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.852,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":20,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cast-ai-senior-software-engineer-kimchi-studio","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cast-ai-senior-software-engineer-kimchi-studio.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T09:33:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10778,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcast-ai-senior-software-engineer-kimchi-studio"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcast-ai-senior-software-engineer-kimchi-studio"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcast-ai-senior-software-engineer-kimchi-studio"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cast-ai-senior-software-engineer-kimchi-studio\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcast-ai-senior-software-engineer-kimchi-studio"}]}
