Senior Software Engineer
About The Position
Akkio is an AI infrastructure company that powers agentic workflows for media companies. By operating on-premises within agency cloud environments and directly accessing data, Akkio enables organizations to deploy AI at an enterprise scale. This automates campaign workflows while ensuring complete security and governance. Akkio's approach is already utilized by major media players such as Havas, Horizon Media, Mediaplus, and LG Ad Solutions. The company is a small, fast-growing team where each member significantly influences the future direction of the media industry's use of AI.
Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of solving hard technical problems
- Deeply integrated AI coding into your daily workflow; agents are your default way of building, not an occasional assist and you can speak concretely about how you direct them, where they fail, and how you verify their output
- Thrive on ownership: you've repeatedly taken loosely defined or shifting requirements and delivered great products anyway, filling gaps with judgment rather than waiting for direction
- Experience building and debugging large-scale production systems
- Strong background with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, and/or Azure) and modern DevOps practices
- Strong bias to execution coupled with high engineering standards and attention to detail
- Must be authorized to work in the US
Nice To Haves
- Public artifacts of your agentic workflow: CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md context files in your repos, published MCP servers, agent co-authored commit history, or writing about how you build with agents
- Hands-on experience building with large language models: evals, tool use, agent orchestration, or LLM-powered product features
- Depth in a second specialty (backend, full stack web, data, or infrastructure)
- Understanding of security best practices for handling sensitive data
- Previous early-stage startup experience
Responsibilities
- Own complex technical projects end-to-end, from ambiguous problem statement through architecture, build, deployment, and iteration in production
- Multiply your output with agentic coding and help raise the bar for how the whole team builds with agents
- Design systems that scale with our partner base while improving reliability, performance, and cost efficiency
- Implement security and compliance measures that protect sensitive partner data
- Set engineering standards for code quality and testing in an agent-assisted codebase, and mentor teammates on both
- Work directly with engineers, data scientists, and customer teams, and communicate clearly with stakeholders as requirements evolve
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) plan
- Generous PTO policy
- Substantial equity grants
