About us

Yellow Tech is a strategy consulting firm specialised in AI transformation: we help companies understand and adopt artificial intelligence. We are an AI-first company, made of humans and AI agents working together, born with the arrival of LLMs and fully bootstrapped: we sustain ourselves and we decide what to build.

The Business Development team finds companies and qualifies them; the Strategist understands the need, closes the project and coordinates it; the Trainers train the people (AI Academy), the Engineers build agents (AI Factory).

Your responsibilities

You are the one who turns client needs into AI solutions that actually work: you design, build and ship AI agents and workflows to production, working closely with the Strategist and the client throughout delivery.

  • Understand the problem before building: You work with the Strategist in discovery, analyse the client’s processes, data and systems and turn business requests into clear requirements, architecture and technical estimates.
  • Build AI agents and take them to production: You design and develop agents and workflows integrated into the client’s systems, working with LLMs, tool use, APIs, orchestration, RAG and automations all the way to deployment.
  • Own the technical quality: You define tests, evals, logging and monitoring, and make sure what you release is reliable, safe and genuinely usable in production.
  • Take the project from idea to result: You work directly with the Strategist, the client and the other Engineers throughout delivery, make the technical decisions and evolve the shared stack, patterns and tools based on what you learn in the field.

Your path

  • In the first weeks: you build a complete project on our onboarding platform and shadow an Engineer from the team on a real delivery. From there you quickly take end-to-end ownership of your first client project: discovery, architecture, development, evals and deployment.
  • After 9 months: you can move to the next level, on results and on clear, quantitative and transparent performance criteria.
  • Every week: you test new models, coding agents and tools and bring to the team whatever can concretely improve the way we build.

What we offer

  • A front-row seat on AI: You work every day with the most advanced tools. The training we bring to clients is part of your own path too: mentorship, peer learning and hands-on sessions to stay up to date on AI.
  • Talent density: You will work alongside the strongest people on the hottest topic of the moment, in a young team with zero ego, collaboration, respect and direct feedback.
  • Growth and impact: Every role has a written growth path, from Junior to Head of, with measurable criteria you know from day one: you grow on results, not on seniority. And you grow fast, because you work in small teams with huge impact and real autonomy from the start.
  • Result-driven pay: The variable component is tied directly to results and has no cap: the more value you generate, the greater the financial recognition of your contribution.

Before you apply

We work mainly in person, from our office in Corvetto, Milan. We are an early-stage company with big ambitions and we believe that being together, day after day, is essential to build energy, alignment and results. That said, we operate with flexibility and common sense: remote work is possible when it is needed.

LLMs arrived three years ago and created a new market. The window is wide and it is open now; to stay ahead of it you have to work better and harder than the others. Anyone looking for a predictable pace will not be happy here.

Native Italian is required. We write requirements as a direction, not as a barrier: if the role appeals to you and you think you can grow fast, apply even with a profile that is not a perfect match. It has happened before, and it worked out.
