The Swiss bar is high. Alexandr Shakun's advice: treat it as a target, not a wall. He started with a master's in aerospace engineering, spent most of his career building software fully remotely for companies in the US and Singapore, and now leads the team building the custody platform at digital asset bank Sygnum (@sygnumofficial). In our latest RecruIT interview, he shares: 🔹 The three things he looks for in junior engineers, and why a referral can make the difference 🔹 What non-EU developers should know about Swiss work permit quotas before applying 🔹 What it means to build where mistakes are irreversible and there is often no hotfix 🔹 Where he draws the line between AI as an accelerator and AI as a crutch His warning on AI: "You let AI think for you instead of thinking about what you're building."
