RAG, embeddings, AI agents, or no-code automation are pluses.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Testing: </strong>Reproduce bugs and validate fixes. Playwright is a plus.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Other: </strong>Git/GitHub, strong English communication, comfort with ambiguity. Stripe experience is a plus.</p> </li> <li>Advanced English level (<strong>C1</strong>)</li> </ul> </div><p><br></p><p></p> <p> </p><h1><strong>The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here</strong></h1> <p>Energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it. Strong fundamentals, sharp debugging instincts, real interest in AI and internal tooling. Moves fast, documents the work, and takes ownership of small but important tasks end-to-end.</p> <h1><strong>Why Join Influur</strong></h1> <p>We live to prove the impossible is possible. We move fast, we take bets, and we celebrate the wins together. And we treat each other with kindness, not as a value on a wall, but as how we actually operate.</p> <h1><strong>What We Offer</strong></h1> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Real product surface area. </strong>Nucleus, internal tools, AI workflows, and Data Ops from day one.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>AI-native environment. </strong>Work alongside engineers who use AI tools by default, and grow fast because of it.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Real ownership. </strong>Even as a junior, you'll own meaningful pieces end-to-end.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Full remote, full trust. </strong>We care about what you ship, not where you sit.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>A front-row seat at the start. </strong>Pulse is live, growing, and trusted by Sony Music and WMG. You won't be maintaining, you'll be building.</p> </li> </ul> <p></p>
