Amaxe2 in 3 sentences
Born from experience and driven by social impact, Amaxe2 is a SaaS startup that helps design in minutes what the water treatment industry still takes months to do—leveraging Generative AI while accounting for the impact of climate change and modern and emerging contaminants.
AI is at the heart of our products and operations. Every employee amplifies their talent through AI, which is not only permitted—but expected.
Our values – T.R.A.C.E.
We are a “human-sized” company with values that drives decisions.
- Transparency and teamwork: no elephants in the room, information shared in real time.
- Respect: customers, partners and colleagues are treated as we would like to be treated.
- Ambition: solve a massive global problem and build a category defining company.
- Curiosity, Compassion and Commitment: we question, we support, we go the extra mile.
- Enthusiasm: Positive energy, serious work—without taking ourselves too seriously.
Your first 12-month assignment
- Ship core features for our generative design engine: services that operate on a process-graph (units, links, parameters), retrieval adapters for RAG, and optimisation gateways that interface with multivariate models.
- Write production-grade code end-to-end (backend → APIs) with clean interfaces and robust tests; contribute to shared libraries and developer templates.
- Adopt AI-amplified development: pair-program with copilots (Claude, OpenAI, Copilot, etc); maintain prompt snippets and code-gen patterns; include provenance notes when AI contributes to code or docs.
- Quality & releases: add unit/contract/integration tests; use feature flags and (where applicable) canary rollouts; collaborate with QA and DevOps on release readiness.
- Performance & observability: instrument services, watch dashboards/logs, and run targeted load/regression tests ahead of Beta/GA cut lines.
- Collaboration & documentation: keep the backlog healthy with the Product Owner; align with the Architect and DevOps; write concise tech specs, runbooks, and onboarding notes.
Key responsibilities
- Implement user stories with clean, maintainable code; participate in code reviews and architectural spikes led by the Team Lead.
- Work across languages as needed (Python, Java, Rust—choose what fits the job, not a “language cult”).
- Leverage AI tools (Claude Code, Open AI Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI or other) for code generation, diagram generation and documentation generation. Foster AI pair-programming: prompt libraries, shared GPTs and other relevant tools and processes.
- Follow gitOps friendly philosophy (without going to the extreme).
Why join us?
- Clear societal impact: faster, cheaper access to drinking water.
- Your talent, amplified by AI.
- Stock options fox/r all, competitive salary, 4 weeks’ vacation.
