No-vibe Engineering Generalist

We are the Armenian Artificial Intelligence Company (AAIC): a collective of scientists, engineers, designers, and writers. We work globally, creating unique software for diverse clients—from devices that assist professional chefs to city simulations and narrative games.

We have specialized experts to tackle complex computational challenges, but most of our engineering produces prototypes and demos that never make it into production. Developing in this paradigm requires a rare, specific mindset—the one we're looking for today.

We're looking for an engineering generalist experienced in backend, frontend, and Unity engineering. You must have made a significant contribution to one or more projects in at least two of these three roles. The projects don't need to be massive—dozens of users or players is enough.

This position is hybrid: one week each month, we gather in our office in Yerevan, Armenia for an intensive creative burst. The rest is remote.

We don't have product owners, scrum masters, daily stand-ups, or grooming sessions via Zoom. Instead, we have project briefs and debriefs, critical path-based planning, and PERT.

The language of this team is Russian; our projects are in English. Being eloquent in the former and proficient in the latter is a hard requirement.

The pay is $3,000–4,000 USD after taxes (depending on tax residence).

To apply, write an email to  with the following:

• Your CV (we care about the work you've done, not big names).
• A link to your GitHub account.
• A joke in each of the languages.
• A brief description of at least two completed projects where you worked in different roles. Focus on what interested you most about each one.

All applications via EasyApply will be ignored.
 As an AI company, we're very good at spotting LLM writing. A human will read your application and always respond by hand, so please extend the same courtesy.

What's next?

1. A call where someone will introduce our company and you'll have an opportunity to ask questions.
2. A rather unusual test problem where we'll present you with a challenge in a fantasy project, have you ask questions, and ideate a solution.
3. A second call with the presentation of your solution, after which we'll make a final decision.

Because of payment issues, we can't work with people physically located in China, Russia, Belarus, Iran, or other sanctioned countries.
