Python Software Engineer

Giotto.ai is building intelligence systems for Europe, focused on advanced reasoning AI, efficient machine learning architectures, and robust AI infrastructure.

We are assembling a team of exceptional engineers and builders who want to work on technically challenging systems, combining software engineering, system design, infrastructure, and applied AI deployment.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer capable of designing, building, and operating robust software systems that support large-scale AI workloads and production-grade applications.
