#474We are Deyan7. We build leading AI solutions.
Join our tech-savvy team and create solutions for generative AI and ChatGPT. Since the launch of GPT4 in March, we have implemented projects in areas such as fire protection, tax law, education, and medical devices using the latest language models. We develop AI co-pilots for engineers, AI coaches for schoolchildren, and suggestion systems for technical writers. We draw on decades of experience in software development for German global leaders. We see the potential of the technology, are curious about the next developments, and proud of what we are building.
As a Full Stack AI Engineer, you ideally should have fun to:
- experiment with genAI, LLMs and different retrieval technologies - build suiting Frontends - build Backends that bridge the gap between Frontend and the ML parts.
You will be working closely with other devs and our customers, with the possibility to actively influence the direction of the project and to introduce new technology or approaches.
Your project increment will always be working software that is really used and needed.
Here´s the catch: our customers are mostly German, hence the data is primarily German and therefore the output of our LLM inferences is German. So, be ready to use German at a C1 level at least!
Additionally, our working setup is currently not capable of handling any other time offsets than +- 3 hours from our local time (CET/CEST).

I very much understand your sentiment. Unfortunately we haven't found any other functional way to achieve the same goal. I am not sure about other firms, but we personally look for how the candidate thinks about the problem more than anything. Did they handle exceptions well. Are they focusing on efficiency, readability, speed, or? We found out that from a simple assignment that shouldn't take more than 30 min, we le…
Do you really get people who "handle exceptions" and "focus on efficiency, readability, speed" in a 30 min take home exercise?
Imagine a file with endless list of URLs. For each URL check if it contains an image. If it does, identify the top 6 colors and store it memory so it can be printed/stored later.
In something like python this can be as short as 20 lines of code: - open the file - read line by line - validate if the URL is valid - call the URL - check if it's image - if image, read pixel by pixel and check the color - store it in dictionary/hashmap
Here is what I look for: - does it compile/work? - what language did you choose? (like python is fast to write this in few lines but hard to introduce concurrency) - have you introduced some kind of caching for the URLs? (so you don't waste resources) - are you checking if the URL is valid or you just run them all and wait for errors/timeouts? - are you checking the file type from HTTP header or body of the file? - how do you handle errors? - are you attempting concurrency? If yes, how?
I actually done this exercise myself in dozen or so languages to see what choices I make based on the language. Obviously one can spend significantly more time on it if they really desire, but the design choices are visible from the beginning.

If the assignment really only takes 30 minutes, why can't it be a live call if the candidate wants? whether you like it or not, take home assignments just select for the people who can spend the most time on take home assignments. Which means people like me who have a current job and a family and can't afford to spend several hours on a coding test to make sure they're above and beyond the competition either won't ap…
Unfortunately, majority of candidates are interested in the take home challenge over doing live coding session. And we optimize for the widest reach.
In regards of the results, I can't speak for others, but I write code for 26 years. What I look for is how the candidate thinks of the problem. Here is one of my favorite exercises [0]. I would obviously love to do this live but people get super nervous and stop thinking. I then have tendency to help them too much and learn much about them.

What's the desired tech stack for a Backend dev role?
But ultimately we are using SQL, queue, concurrency, single tenancy and monolith (few to none micro services).
