Role

Who you are

A-Players Only: We’re building a team of top-tier talent. A-players hire A-players. We’d rather invest in one exceptional person with an above-market salary they’re thrilled about than settle for multiple B-players at standard rates
Drive: You’re relentless and motivated to do whatever it takes to succeed. You might have something to prove, a fire in your belly, or a mind that works differently. Work isn’t just a job, it’s a core part of who you are and how you find purpose
Flat Structure: Flat company org. Titles reflect scope. No political promotion games
Minimum 3 years of experience
Having product sense is great
Bachelors' degree in Computer Science, or equivalent experience building software
Experience writing code to integrate models into production environments
Experience translating current, relevant AI research into production systems

What the job involves

You’ll work on a mix of backend and LLM engineering to bring our characters to life: remembering past conversations, understanding context, and reacting to time, trends, and what’s happening in the world
As one of our first engineers, you’ll ship to millions of users from day one and have ownership across the stack

Our take

SLAY is a social gaming company focused on creating engaging experiences that connect people and amplify their creativity and emotions. The company stands out with over 10 million downloads and 2.5 million monthly active users showing its rapid growth and high user engagement since founding in 2022.

The company boasts a commitment to a user and developer-centric ecosystem. Unlike traditional incentive structures, SLAY prioritises joyful user experiences and innovative product development. Since its founding, the company has launched 4 apps, one of which is "Pengu", a space to raise AI-powered virtual pets.

SLAY’s success is evident in its viral popularity, especially among German teens and its significant backing from top venture capitalists. Looking forward, SLAY aims to continue its rapid iteration and growth, leveraging data and creativity to enhance its platform and user experiences further.
