  • Mentorship & Collaboration : Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to the growth of Hakkoda's AI practice.

Innovation & Research : Stay informed on emerging AI technologies and bring innovative capabilities into production use.

As of April 2025, Hakkoda has been acquired by IBM and will be integrated in the IBM organization. Your recruitment process will be managed by IBM. IBM will be the hiring entity.
