Tech Lead

We're looking for a tech lead. This role reports to Martijn Moret, CTO of Mavic.ai. You will work closely with Martijn to implement requirements into our live app.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain ML pipelines for image, video, and text generation
  • Fine-tune open-source models (SD, Llama, Mistral) for brand-specific outputs
  • Design prompt engineering frameworks that preserve brand consistency
  • Optimize inference latency and cost for real-time user experiences
  • Collaborate with product to ship AI features end-to-end
  • Document code and decisions for future reference

What you need

  • 4 years of relevant full-time experience in which you’ve shipped production-grade applications with TypeScript, React Web, and MongoDB
  • Prior work with LLM models or AI-APIs (OpenAI, LangChain, HuggingFace, etc.)
  • You understand microservices, event-driven architectures, or GraphQL
  • You have experiences with data structures and persistence models, can normalize when needed, and know when async beats sync (and when it doesn’t).
  • You’re skilled in AI-assisted coding and know how to use it as an accelerator, not a move the hard work to the debug phase tool.
  • You’re battle-tested at debugging: logs, stack traces, “why the hell isn’t this working?”—you get to the root cause, not the band-aid fix.
  • You think in systems —you understand how backend choices ripple into frontend experiences (and vice versa).
  • You must be proficient in English communication (speaking and writing).

Bonus Points

  • Experience working with a distributed, remote-first team across time zones.
  • End to end DevOps know-how with MERN and GCP
  • An eye for UI/UX design details – you don't just make things work, you care about how they look
  • Proficient with technical documentation that can be implemented (AI-written docs that never hit production don't count)
  • You've worked in an AI tech startup

Culture

We ship, we don't ship excuses. Every release goes to real businesses trying to grow so mediocre work is simply not good enough. We're unapologetically ambitious, we're recruiting people who want to be at the top of a field that's still being invented, and who see that as a reason to join, not a risk.
