An AI expert shared a strange job opening on LinkedIn from a startup that already has 50% of its code written by AI. The employer was allegedly looking for an AI specialist for $12,000 to replace 5-10 developers. Did the specialists agree to such an offer?
The developer conducted an experiment by citing a crony offer from Djinni for Ukrainian vibe coders with a salary of $12,000 on LinkedIn. Despite the unrealistic description and, probably, a fake offer, there were many people who wanted to apply. We tell you the details.

«This is not a hoax or a joke, we are really looking for a specialist with knowledge of AI who can replace a team of 5-10 developers!», Principal Software Engineer Stanislav N. quoted on LinkedIn the description of the vacancy found on Djinni.
According to the job description, Clevervol is a corporate startup in the US from Ukrainian media agency Deadline that is disrupting the media and PR industry. «We have tripled ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue, the amount of money a subscription business is expected to earn each year from regular customers) with clients from Ukraine and are on the path to dominance in the US. Now 50% of our code is written in AI, so we have a small team of entrepreneurs without programming skills. Working 12-15 hours a day, we have done a lot to launch the product. Now we are looking for a powerful vibe coder (not viber!). Experience, seniority, education — do not matter! We will consider any candidate!», the description says.
Among the responsibilities that are planned to be assigned to the specialist, there are many tasks.
«We create new features for our product every day using AI. They don’t always work. Your job is to refine them to the required state. We solve deep product problems, such as how to raise more money. Your job is to prioritize features and work with AI as a project and product manager. We figure out how to scale our cloud infrastructure for real-time data processing. You will be our DevOps using AI,» the specialist wrote and published a screenshot of the offer.
Among the requirements for candidates is a whole list of skills.
Being stress-resistant with code from AI agents and patiently fixing our deliverables in the shortest possible time.
Your feature release rate should be 5 or 10 times faster than that of traditional developers.
You must be fully autonomous and able to solve any technical problem using AI. Example — pass the moderation of the application publication by updating the license policy!
You are completely autonomous in solving business problems, not creating them!
It would be a bonus if at least 50% of the code you are writing right now should be written by AI, and the experience of a web coder is confirmed by a certificate.
Priority is also given to the reservation specialist.
In turn, the company offers the specialist an option and bonuses that depend on the results of work. " Each team member receives a share of the company, and your bonus scales with our revenue, so your work affects your income. You will create technologies that will be used by millions of people, including the world’s largest media and PR agencies, who will rely on the fruits of your labor,» the job description says.
The candidate will need to complete a test task lasting up to two hours. Its essence is to implement a feature in an open-source repository using AI. «You choose the repository yourself! We don’t give you the code — only a description of the feature! The test task can be published and referenced anywhere. No need to sign any NDA. No need to transfer any data,» the company promises.
Resumes without a test task will not be considered. «The completion of a test task is paid for only after concluding a contract (two hours at the rate),» Stanislav said.
He added at the end of the post that he would like to see those who would apply for such a position. «What a mess, please someone apply, I want to look at this test for 2 hours, that’s probably 40 hours for a regular developer without the AI shit coding vibe,» the IT guy wrote.
Actually, this vacancy is no longer relevant on the job board, but it caused quite a stir among the community.
Meanwhile, according to the developer, there were a lot of people who wanted to get such a job. «People started sending me personal messages — serious engineers, architects, seniors with a lot of experience — asking for test tasks and a link to the vacancy. That is, they didn’t even finish reading the post. They just saw „$12,000“ and ran back,» he said.
Stanislav is surprised: «When did we manage to unlearn how to search for vacancies on Djinni by keywords? And this is the best proof that the era of artificial intelligence has already begun. We have already learned to think superficially, scan content, but not read it. AI has only reinforced this pattern — now the human attention span has become shorter than that of a goldfish. If you can’t finish reading a post, then you probably don’t even have the desire to be a vibe coder. Even if you drove the entire text into ChatGPT, you would understand the entire context, but we have what we have,» he noted .
«On the one hand, we’re not looking for anyone anymore. And on the other, it’s somehow inhuman.» The IT community is debating whether to hold scheduled interviews with candidates if the vacancy has already been closed
