You will work across machine learning, large language models (LLMs), search technologies, data pipelines, and cloud-native platforms to deliver scalable AI solutions for internal and external users.

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, cloud computing, and software engineering, collaborating with cross-functional teams to build next-generation intelligent systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop AI and machine learning solutions that leverage modern LLMs, retrieval systems, and agent-based architectures.
  • Design, build, and optimize agentic AI workflows that coordinate LLMs, tools, enterprise data sources, APIs, and multi-step reasoning to automate complex engineering and knowledge-discovery tasks.
  • Build and optimize data processing, indexing, and retrieval pipelines to enable intelligent search and knowledge discovery.
  • Develop evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, and monitoring solutions to measure system quality, accuracy, and user impact.
  • Experiment with model selection, prompt engineering, retrieval strategies, ranking approaches, and fine-tuning techniques.
  • Analyze system performance, identify gaps, and drive continuous improvements using data-driven methodologies.
  • Collaborate with software engineers, product teams, and domain experts to translate business requirements into scalable AI solutions.
  • Develop and maintain cloud-native services and APIs supporting AI applications.
  • Contribute to architecture, design reviews, and engineering best practices across the AI platform.
  • Stay current with advancements in generative AI, machine learning, and information retrieval technologies.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
