Software Engineer - AI Code - Momentous If you're passionate about AI engineering and want your work to matter beyond the bottom line, this one's for you. Aplicar Selection process developed by matteria Location and Work Mode REMOTE Who we are Momentous is an AI engineering company that designs, builds, and operates production AI systems for organizations across industries — from global technology companies and healthcare providers to government bodies and experiential agencies. Their work spans custom AI products, agentic systems, computer vision, knowledge platforms, and the infrastructure behind them, all grounded in a consistent methodology: discover the real friction, design the right solution, deliver with precision, and transfer full ownership to the client's team. Momentous doesn't create dependency — they transfer capability. Our impact At Momentous, impact isn't a side project — it's a founding commitment. Twenty percent of our engineering capacity is permanently allocated to sustainability and social impact work, written into our structure before we had a single paying client. That's what produced WasteLens, a computer vision platform helping restaurants and hotel chains across Latin America reduce food waste in line with UN SDG 12. These projects aren't charity — they're some of our sharpest engineering work. Building for communities with tight budgets and diverse users forces a precision that makes everything else we build better.

Whether you're working with a client or a teammate, the relationship matters as much as the output.
