We are the company that stands behind the spectacular success of CKEditor, used by millions of people around the world. At CKSource we produce software components that other developers use to build their applications (WYSIWYG editor, file manager, document converters, etc.). Our flagship product is CKEditor 5 – an open-source, modern JavaScript (soon TypeScript) rich text editor with custom data model and virtual DOM – check our GitHub repository.

We are part of Tiugo Technologies, a launchpad for new developer platforms, helping software companies accelerate growth, increase operating efficiency, and scale their business. Tiugo contains a suite of brands that are API-first, market-leading developer platforms focused on content creation and digital collaboration. Tiugo’s current family of brands includes CKEditor, TinyMCE, ButterCMS, and Uploadcare.

Together our products have powered millions of software applications and websites. Enabling content and communication in everything from Microsoft to NASA, you might not know our name, but you’ve probably used our software.

Your role:

As a Senior Software Engineer on our AI team, you will play a key role in building and evolving the backend services that power AI capabilities in CKEditor 5. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI and content creation — where LLMs meet their most natural application: text processing.
You will design, build, and maintain services that integrate with leading LLM providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini, enabling features like contextual text suggestions, automated content generation, and other intelligent editing experiences used by millions of users worldwide.
Working closely with other engineers, you will contribute to developing scalable backend systems, experimenting with new AI-driven capabilities, and delivering production-ready solutions that enhance how people create and interact with digital content.
