AI Software Engineer
Ghent,
Belgium
At konversaitional, we transform business processes into natural conversations. Our AI agents execute tasks — they don’t just answer questions. They act as virtual employees and connect to ERP/CRM systems, all without the client needing IT involvement.
Our company is rapidly expanding and offers you a challenging work environment is the fast-moving AI landscape. As an employee of our tech startup, you will collaborate with each department to create and deploy disruptive products.
As our AI Software Engineer, you build the platform that makes all of this possible. Think of yourself as the architect and builder of a theatre: the AI Project Engineers put on the show, but you design the stage, the lighting system, and the trapdoors that make the magic happen. Without your work, there is no show.
You own two things: the agent platform itself (the engine under the hood) and the front-end interfaces clients and end-users actually interact with.
What you’ll build
The agent platform
Design and develop the core infrastructure that runs our AI agent teams
Build orchestration logic: how agents are triggered, how they hand off to each other, how they recover from errors
Ensure the platform is model-agnostic — swapping or upgrading the underlying AI model should never mean rebuilding from scratch
Build and maintain the integration layer that connects agents to client systems (ERP, CRM, ticketing, case management)
Think in reliability, scalability and security from day one — our clients run mission-critical processes on this
Front-end and chat interfaces
Build the conversational interfaces through which end-users interact with agents (web chat, embedded widgets, Teams)
Translate complex agent behaviour into experiences that feel simple and human
Work closely with the AI Project Engineers to understand what clients need and make it real
Ensure interfaces are fast, accessible and easy to configure per client deployment
Platform quality and evolution
Write clean, maintainable code — you’re building something that will grow fast
Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
Monitor platform performance and proactively address bottlenecks
Stay close to the rapidly evolving AI tooling landscape — and bring the best of it into the platform
Your profile
Must-haves
3–6 years of experience building production-grade software
Solid full-stack skills: comfortable with both backend logic and building polished front-end experiences
You’ve worked with APIs and know what good integration architecture looks like
You understand AI/LLM concepts well enough to build systems around them — you don’t need to train models, but you need to orchestrate them effectively
You write code others can read, maintain and build on
You’re pragmatic: you know when to build the elegant solution and when to ship something that works
Nice-to-haves
Experience with conversational UI or chat-based interfaces
Familiarity with agent frameworks or LLM orchestration tools
Experience building multi-tenant SaaS platforms
Knowledge of MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar integration standards
You’ve worked in an early-stage startup before and know what that pace feels like
Tech stack
