The Role

We’re looking for a developer who’s comfortable starting from a blank page and motivated by building practical AI systems end-to-end. You’ll work on solutions that combine real-time processing, voice technologies, and the transformation of unstructured inputs into reliable structured data.

This position requires strong system integration skills, solid data engineering foundations, and experience designing evaluation pipelines. If you enjoy tackling challenges across multi-modality (voice and text) and complex data, while creating robust, user-facing AI features, you’ll thrive in this role.

Key Responsibilities

• Proficiency in Java and Spring boot

• Background in AI-powered solutions across voice, text, or unstructured data

• Solid foundations in data engineering and data processing architectures

• Familiarity with real-time or streaming systems (e.g., audio, WebSockets, event-driven flows)

• Experience designing or maintaining evaluation pipelines for AI systems

• Comfort working from ambiguous requirements and shaping solutions from scratch

• Understanding of security, privacy, and handling sensitive data

• Ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and domain teams

• Bonus: prior experience with speech technologies (ASR, TTS, telephony)

What We Value

At The Agile Monkeys, we care as much about how we work as what we build.

We’re looking for someone who:

• 🧠 Takes ownership – you see a problem, you fix it.
  

• ⚡ Is proactive – anticipates challenges and improves processes before they break.
  

• 🌍 Adapts quickly – thrives in change and uncertainty, embraces pivoting when needed.
  

• 🚀 Aims high – expects exceptional results from yourself and others.
  

• 💡 Loves to learn – continuously explores new tools, methods, and ideas.
