Send us your CV

We’re looking for the person who will build the company’s technology foundation. We’re not looking for someone who just works through tickets. We’re looking for a technical profile with sound judgement, who wants to define how things are built from day one and grow with an ambitious company, alongside two founders with more than 10 years of experience at both top-tier consulting firms and successful international startups.

What you’ll do

As Founding AI Engineer, you’ll work directly with the founders and own the technology that lets qbico scale, both inside the company and at our clients.

  • You’ll design and build AI agents that help our implementation team work faster and more efficiently: process analysis, tool configuration, data migration, documentation and support.
  • You’ll automate qbico’s internal processes, from day-to-day operations to project delivery.
  • You’ll lead the technical side of client implementations: API integrations between ERPs, finance tools and the solutions we recommend.
  • You’ll build custom AI solutions for finance departments when off-the-shelf tools aren’t enough.
  • You’ll define the company’s architecture, technical standards and best practices, with particular attention to the security and privacy of financial data.

What we’re looking for

  • 4-6 years of experience in software, data or automation engineering roles.
  • Strong Python skills and solid experience integrating systems through APIs.
  • Experience building products or tools with LLMs (Claude, OpenAI…): agents, RAG, function calling / MCP, evaluation and deployment to production.
  • Experience with SQL, data modelling and integration with ERPs or other business systems.
  • A plus: experience in finance (accounting, treasury, invoicing, reporting) and knowledge of automation tools such as n8n, Make or Power Automate.
  • Ability to turn a business problem into a technical solution and explain it to non-technical people, including clients.
  • Professional-level Spanish and English.
  • Autonomy, pragmatism and a drive to build something from its earliest stages.

Why join us

Because this isn’t a conventional engineering role.

You’ll be the first technical person on the team and work side by side with the founders, with no layers of managers between you and the people who make the decisions. Your decisions will shape how the company is built.

You’ll work with the latest AI technologies on real problems at real companies, and see the impact of what you build on our team and our clients within weeks.

And as one of our first hires, you’ll have the opportunity to grow with the company and lead the technical area as we scale the business.

What we offer

  • Permanent, full-time contract.
  • Competitive fixed salary based on experience, plus variable pay.
  • Hybrid work (office + remote).
  • Direct mentoring from the founders.
  • Freedom to choose tools and define the tech stack.
  • Projects with real companies at the intersection of AI and finance.

If this sounds like you…

You like building things people actually use, you prefer a pragmatic solution that works to a perfect one that never arrives, and you’re more motivated by building something from scratch than by maintaining what others built.

If you also want to bring AI to the finance function of companies, we’d love to meet you.
