AI is changing more than products - it is reshaping how software is built and the role of the software engineer.

How does engineering at a global technology company differ from working at a fast-growing AI startup? What happens to development speed, engineering processes, and the skills expected of engineers when AI becomes part of everyday work?

Join our next Speaker Talk at Almaty Hub, part of AI Month, to explore how software engineering is evolving in the AI era - through the experience of moving from Uber to Higgsfield.

Speaker - Ali Bazilov, Software Engineer at Higgsfield.

We’ll discuss:
- how engineering at Big Tech differs from working at an AI startup;
- how AI is changing a software engineer’s day-to-day work;
- how development speed and approaches to building products are evolving;
- which engineering skills matter most in AI teams;
- what engineers should consider when building a career in AI.

The session will be useful for software engineers, developers, technical professionals, and anyone looking to grow in the AI industry.
