About the job

📍 Derech Begin 98, Tel Aviv (8 min walk from HaShalom train, 1 min from the Red Line)

We are Botika, a fast-growing generative AI startup transforming how online retailers create and use visual content. With 1000s of paying customers and millions in ARR, we’re scaling fast and have raised $18M to date.

We are building the creative backbone of eCommerce, powered by proprietary foundation models — a full-stack platform where teams can plan, create, deploy, and optimize visual content in real time.

We're also AI and engineering perfectionists. Our team has decades of expertise and passion in all things software - from researching foundation models, to large scale backends, and stellar frontends. We research our own proprietary AI models from the ground up and our platform and systems are built on the latest and greatest standards. We build for scale, adopt early, and solve first-of-their-kind challenges every day. We care deeply about product polish, speed, and robustness—and we treat every detail like it's part of the core experience.

As a Senior AI Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping our AI systems. You'll design and build large-scale image processing pipelines, web-scale crawlers, real-time recommendation engines, and intelligent features powered by cutting-edge models and LLMs — all on top of our high-performance infrastructure for AI training and inference.

This role blends deep hands-on engineering with strategic technical thinking.

You probably are:

A software engineering overlord with 8+ years of hands-on Python experience
Someone with a sharp eye for software design and architectural elegance
Experienced in at least two of the following: large-scale backend systems (including domain and database design), AI data pipelines, or large-scale web crawling
A fast, self-driven learner who’s always ahead of the curve on new tools, technologies, and concepts
