Agentic Software Engineer (mwd)

We want to strengthen our team and are therefore looking for someone with experience.

Writing code by hand is no longer the job. Understanding what gets built is. If you see AI as an opportunity rather than a threat read on.

Lovely Systems was founded in 2006 in Dornbirn Austria. We build products for our clients: full stack or the parts of it they need. Our engineers work agentically: humans steer agents execute.

We look for builders: people who get their satisfaction from what gets built not from typing the code. AI amplifies existing expertise. The more you understand the better the results you get from agents.

• Orchestrate agents to build software and write skills for them

• Work test-driven

• Run what you build: deploy monitor keep it healthy

• Work across the whole ecosystem e.g. Microservices Kubernetes Backend Frontend; not necessarily all at once

• Keep re-optimising how things are built and automate wherever you can

• You bring solid software engineering experience.

• You understand the inner workings of what is produced.

• You love TDD.

• You feel responsible for what you build in production too.

• You are fluent in English our team language.

• You are open source affine.

• Its ok for you if you cant use Windows.

• Experience orchestrating agents and writing skills for them is a plus.

Experience in these areas is a plus not a must. Frameworks and languages matter less nowadays; what counts is being able to leverage tech.

• A small agile English-speaking team with members based in Austria Hungary Italy and Malta

• Support for your professional development: conferences workshops and online courses
