Staff AI Engineer (JS/TS)
Prague, Czechia
Make is the leading visual platform for anyone to design, build, and automate anything—from tasks and workflows to apps and systems—without the need for coding skills. We are headquartered in the flourishing tech hub of Prague, Czech Republic, and our teams are spread across the USA, UK, Germany, France, Canada, India and Chile, among other locations.
Why do we love building Make (and why you might, too)?
We are developers who understand the power of software to solve complex problems. But what if someone isn’t a developer or doesn’t have access to one? Without the right tools, they might end up spending hours on repetitive, manual tasks - copying and pasting data, managing workflows by hand, and wasting valuable time that could be better spent on high-impact work.
Make transforms this reality, enabling anyone to build intelligent automations easily. By integrating advanced AI tools and models, including powerful LLMs, we empower people all over the world to create workflows that adapt to their needs without writing a single line of code. Make provides a visual platform where creating solutions feels as intuitive as playing a game, turning everyday users into makers and giving them the ability to harness the potential of AI in their workflows.
The role
As an AI staff software engineer, you will be responsible for generating ideas, designing, and developing product features and customer solutions built on LLMs and other AI technologies, including the underlying infrastructure. Your work will range from leading projects to conducting independent research, depending on the initiative.
You will work closely with leadership, product managers, and software engineers across Make to deliver high-quality AI products and features for our customers. Additionally, you will contribute to strategic decision-making and help ensure we stay at the forefront of AI innovation.

- Review and give feedback on the work of others.
- Grow and help others grow professionally.
- Have fun at work :)
