Life at Ness
At Ness, people come first. Here, you'll be part of a vibrant team that values curiosity, innovation, and growth. We work with industry-leading clients on projects that truly make an impact while supporting every team member in carving out their unique career path. With resources for learning, certifications, and hands-on experiences, Ness offers you more than just a job—it’s a place where your ideas, ambition, and well-being matter.
The Role
We're changing how we build software. AI coding assistants and agents are becoming part of every step of our development lifecycle, and we want someone who will help make this real across our development squads: an AI-native SDLC, where developers and AI tools work together from design to production.
You are a developer at heart with a strong DevOps background, or a DevOps engineer who came from development. You understand the end-to-end development process, you build the internal software factory our developers rely on (CI/CD, tooling, quality gates, templates), and you bring AI into it in a practical, measurable way.
Salary: from 3.000 EUR/month, depending on skills and experience + benefits. The final offer for the selected candidate will reflect the candidate´s comprehensive assessment, skills, and past work experience.
