I want to build AI developer tools and LLM-powered products at a small, fast-moving team where I can own technical decisions end-to-end. Most interested in MCP, multi-model orchestration, AI agents, and mobile platforms — ideally at a company shipping to real users, not just demos. Remote-first, strong engineering culture, minimal process overhead.
Jón Jónsson
@drapolyuk
Senior software engineer specializing in AI/LLM tooling and mobile systems, with proven leadership and product impact.
What I'm looking for
Senior software engineer with 10+ years shipping mobile products and AI-enabled features at scale. Creator of mcp-rubber-duck — an open-source MCP server for multi-LLM orchestration (138+ GitHub stars, 19 forks). Recently cut AI translation costs by 99% by replacing a $1,000/mo service with a $10/mo LLM pipeline, built a chatbot handling 30K+ daily conversations for a 20M-user platform, and led a team of 3 to deliver an AI-powered medical app in 3 months with safety guardrails.
My work spans Flutter mobile development, AI/LLM tooling, blockchain, and backend systems. I've shipped apps used by millions, architected Ever Wallet (100K+ downloads) with a Flutter-Rust bridge for Solana/TON, and created open-source Dart packages adopted across teams. Led engineering groups of 3–15 across crypto, healthcare, and enterprise B2B — comfortable operating as a hands-on IC, a tech lead, or a CTO.
Published 14 technical articles on dev.to, Medium, and Hashnode covering MCP architecture, multi-model orchestration, and Flutter best practices. Based in Tbilisi, Georgia with 4–6h overlap with US East and full EU coverage. Looking for remote roles in AI developer tooling, mobile platforms, or product engineering.
