Internal Tools Developer

Job opened

We are looking for someone who built strong engineering fundamentals before the widespread adoption of AI coding agents—someone who can confidently read, write, and debug code independently, while using AI coding agents as a productivity enhancer rather than a dependency.
-5–10 years of software development experience.
-Generalist mindset, comfortable switching between different technical domains and not tied to a single technology stack.
-Hands-on experience using AI coding agents as part of the daily development workflow, with a solid understanding of their strengths, limitations, and best practices for using them effectively.
-Strong open-source culture, including active use, contribution, and self-hosting of open-source software. This is a core cultural fit requirement at Vates, not simply a nice-to-have.
-Strong written English skills (required). Communication with our teams in the United States and Italy, as well as part of our internal documentation, is conducted in English.
-Self-driven, with the ability to communicate effectively and collaborate with non-technical stakeholders.
