About the role
- Xsolla is seeking a Junior Developer (AI Engineering) for an internship role located in Vladivostok.
- This position involves taking over, scaling, and optimizing an existing vertical video generation pipeline for platforms like YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.
Responsibilities
- Take over the existing vertical video generation pipeline (script → voiceover → visuals → subtitles → editing → auto-posting → tracking links) for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels, understand it from the docs and code, and bring it to stable operation.
- Grow the pipeline: improve content quality and virality, scale up generation volume, reduce cost and turnaround time per video.
- Keep track of new generation models and services (video, image, voice, LLM), test them quickly and replace outdated parts of the pipeline with better or cheaper ones.
- Launch and develop the virtual AI creator direction: a consistent character, voice, style and content plan.
- Design and improve agents: write and debug prompts and sub-agent roles, validation between phases, context and cost control.
- Build a dashboard for running generation and tracking content analytics (views, clicks, conversions, cost per video).
- Automate publishing: platform integrations, posting from mobile devices, scaling channels.
- Write clean, testable, documented code, including unit and integration tests.
Requirements
- Solid Python, basic bash.
- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, etc.) and agentic pipelines: a real project, pet project or hackathon entry you can show and talk through.
- Experience using Claude Code, Cursor or similar tools as a working environment, not just as autocomplete.
- Understanding of prompt engineering basics: defining an agent's role, limiting context, getting stable structured output.
- Understanding of Git, team development and Docker basics.
- Ability to work with REST APIs and webhooks, basic understanding of databases (SQL).
- English at the level of reading technical documentation (Intermediate+).
Preferred qualifications
- Understanding of vertical content: games, creators, streams, TikToks, Shorts, how video discovery works, what shadowbans are, how mobile posting farms are set up.
- Experience with video and image generation via API (fal.ai, Kling, Runway, Seedance, Nano Banana, etc.), TTS and speech recognition (Whisper and similar).
- ffmpeg: assembly, normalisation, subtitles, overlays.
- Experience building reliable calls to paid APIs: retries, idempotency, cost tracking.
- n8n or other workflow tools.
- Telegram bots, YouTube / TikTok / Instagram / Discord APIs.
- Android / mobile device automation.
- Supabase or PostgreSQL.
