AI Tools Proficiency

Production engineering at Unico Connect assumes AI tools form part of the daily workflow rather than an experimental augmentation. For this role specifically:

• Cursor or Claude Code as the default integrated development environment
• Claude for Kotlin code review and refactoring
• AI-augmented Android Studio plugins
• Whisper or Otter for client meeting transcription

---

We Offer

• Hybrid working model - 1 day work-from-home per week

• Referral bonus when you bring in a successful hire

About the Company

Every Unico role expects the same underlying traits - regardless of department or seniority. If these resonate, apply.

• AI-augmented by default: Fluent with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Figma AI, or whatever is relevant to your craft. We expect AI tools in the loop, not as a novelty.
• Comfortable with startup pace: Fast cycles, real ownership, low ceremony. You will not be a cog.
• Driven by value creation: Output and outcomes matter more than process. You ship work that moves a metric.
• Ownership mindset: You treat the codebase, the deliverable, and the client relationship as your own.
• Builder energy: You joined because you want to ship amazing tech products, not warm a seat.
