We’ve built a product customers love and a business that’s scaling quickly, backed by world-class investors and driven by rapid AI innovation across multiple product lines. At Aircall, you’ll join a company in motion. We’re ambitious, product-driven, and execution-focused, with visible impact, fast decisions, and real growth. **How we work at Aircall**: We’re customer-obsessed, data-driven, and focused on delivering meaningful outcomes. We value ownership, continuous learning, and thoughtful speed. If you thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where trust and impact matter, you’ll feel at home here. ### About the Role We are hiring a **Senior** **Software AI Engineer**to join the Engineering Productivity (EngProd) team at Aircall. Your mission is to **accelerate AI adoption across the engineering organization** by building AI-powered tools and systems that measurably improve how engineers work — reducing friction, automating repetitive tasks, and embedding intelligence directly into everyday workflows. This is **not a research role** and **not a customer-facing product AI role**. You will build **practical, production-grade AI solutions** that engineers use daily, and you will be accountable for their real-world adoption and impact. ### What You’ll Do As a Software AI Engineer, you will: - Take **clear ownership of rapid AI adoption across the engineering organization** - Identify high-friction areas in engineering workflows where AI can meaningfully improve productivity - Design and build **practical, production-grade AI-powered developer tooling** (coding, testing, PR reviews, debugging) - Build contextual, system-aware AI assistants using internal data, codebases, and tooling - Explore, prototype, and productionize AI-driven solutions with strong autonomy on *how* problems are solved - Automate and streamline workflows across GitLab, Jira, CI/CD, Slack, and observability tools - Design and operate internal AI services and orchestration layers (e.g. MCP servers) - Own solutions end-to-end: discovery → design → build → measure → iterate - Work hands-on with engineering teams to remove friction, enable usage, and move tools from delivery to daily practice - Measure success through **adoption, impact, and tangible time saved for engineers** --- ### What You Won’t Do - Build AI features for customer-facing products - Work on speculative AI research without clear outcomes - Act as a general internal support team - Own generic ML infrastructure unrelated to developer productivity --- ### What We’re Looking For #### Required Experience - 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, with recent focus on GenAI systems - Strong experience building **production-grade systems**, not just prototypes - Hands-on experience with: - LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) - Prompting, retrieval, and context injection - AI-powered tooling or internal platforms - Solid backend engineering skills (APIs, services, integrations) - Experience working with developer tools (CI/CD, GitHub/GitLab, Jira, observability) - Strong product mindset and comfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces #### Nice to Have Particularly interesting profiles are engineers who have **built developer tools** and are now evolving toward **AI-native system design**. - Prior experience building developer tools, internal platforms, or DevEx tooling - Experience evolving traditional tooling into **AI-assisted or AI-driven workflows** - Familiarity with MCP, agent-based systems, or model orchestration concepts - Experience integrating AI with large codebases, monorepos, or complex CI/CD environments - Exposure to security, privacy, and trust considerations in internal AI systems --- ### How You’ll Be Successful You’ll be successful if: - AI solutions you build are **widely adopted and used regularly by engineers** - **Engineering productivity measurably improves**, using: - existing metrics we already track (e.g. DevEx, CI, delivery, quality, flow), and/or - new, clearly defined metrics you help introduce to capture AI impact - Manual, repetitive workflows are reduced or eliminated, with clear before/after comparisons - Engineering time is visibly saved and reinvested into higher-value work - Improvements are demonstrated with **data**, not just qualitative feedback - Adoption grows organically because tools are useful, fast, and well-integrated into existing workflows --- ### Team & Environment - You’ll join the Engineering Productivity team - You’ll work closely with engineers across the company - Strong collaboration with Infrastructure and Security teams - Product-oriented culture focused on outcomes, not hype --- ### Location - London - Collaboration with teams in Europe/US expected --- ### Why Join Aircall - High-leverage role with company-wide impact - Direct influence on how hundreds of engineers work every day - Strong leadership support and clear mandate - Opportunity to shape how AI is applied responsibly and pragmatically --- ### Bottom Line This role is about **using AI to make engineers more effective**, not about chasing trends. If you enjoy building real systems that people rely on every day — this role is for you. **Why join us?** 🚀 Key moment to join Aircall in terms of growth and opportunities 💆‍♀️ Our people matter, work-life balance is important at Aircall 📚 Fast-learning environment, entrepreneurial and strong team spirit 🌍 45+ Nationalities: cosmopolite & multi-cultural mindset 💶 Competitive salary package & benefits **DE&I Statement:** At Aircall, we believe diversity, equity and inclusion – irrespective of origins, identity, background and orientations – are core to our journey.
