Senior Software Engineer

About Akkio

Akkio is the AI infrastructure that powers agentic workflows across media companies. By running on-premises within agency cloud environments and sitting directly on top of data, Akkio enables organizations to product ionize AI at enterprise scale, automating campaign workflows while maintaining complete security and governance control.

Our approach already powers some of the biggest names in media. Havas is building agentic AI into Converged.

AI, its global operating system, in partnership with Akkio. Horizon Media strengthened its blu. platform with Akkio. Mediaplus built Plus.

AI, its global AI media planning system, on our infrastructure. LG Ad Solutions uses Akkio to unlock real-time intelligence from ACR data.

We’re a small, fast-growing team, and every person here shapes what media’s biggest players do next.

We build with AI the way we expect our partners to run on it: aggressively, thoughtfully, and in production. Agentic coding is foundational to how our engineering team works. Our engineers orchestrate coding agents to move from idea to shipped product at a pace that would be impossible by hand, and they hold that output to a high bar for quality, testing, and reliability.

If you’ve rebuilt your workflow around agents, maintaining context files for your repos, running agents on real production work, publishing MCP servers, or rethinking how code review works when an agent writes the first draft, you’ll feel  you’re still evaluating whether AI coding tools are ready, this probably isn’t the right role.

We hire senior software engineers into four areas of focus: backend, full stack, data, and infrastructure. Most of what makes an engineer great at Akkio is the same across all four — the specialty is where you’ll go deepest, not a box you’ll stay in. Apply once and tell us which area fits you best; if you’re between two, tell us that too.

Whatever your focus, you’ll build the systems behind customer-facing AI agents running in production at the world’s largest media agencies. This role is built for owners. Requirements at a fast-moving AI startup are rarely fully defined and often shift as we learn from customers. We’re looking for someone who treats that as the fun part: someone who takes a partially-shaped problem, drives it to a well-shaped solution, and ships a great product without waiting for a full spec.

You’ll have direct influence on technical direction, and your work will land in production at agencies serving the world’s biggest brands.

• 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

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of solving hard technical problems

• You’ve 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

• You 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
