The posting

We're helping an early-stage startup build an AI-powered platform, and we're looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer (NLP) to help shape the core AI/ML architecture behind it. This is a hands-on, high-impact role: you'll design, build, and deploy ML systems end-to-end, working directly with the founding team to deliver 10x value to our clients. If you love solving open-ended problems with AI and want to shape both the product and the engineering culture from day one, this is for you.

Porto (hybrid — 2x/week in office) + Up to €90k/year

What You'll Be Working On

You'll own ML/AI systems at the heart of the platform — from model development and training through to deployment and monitoring. Day to day, that means building intelligent systems for document processing, web data parsing, classification, search, and entity matching, applying modern LLM techniques to messy, real-world problems.

You'll run experiments with new models, data strategies, and agentic AI approaches, while balancing innovation against production realities like reliability, performance, and safety. Beyond the code, you'll help set the standards — defining best practices and tooling for AI development across the company, and collaborating closely with engineers and founders to keep AI capabilities aligned with what the product actually needs.

What They're Looking For

  • At least 4 years as a Machine Learning / AI Engineer in product-focused environments
  • Strong, production-level Python
  • Hands-on experience building AI/ML systems: LLMs, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, multi-agent systems, conversational AI
  • A solid grasp of modern ML/AI architectures and tooling
  • A track record of taking models from experimentation all the way to production
  • Comfort working across data, ML, and backend systems when the job calls for it
  • Strong analytical thinking and ease with ambiguous, open-ended problems
  • Excellent communication and collaboration in a fast-paced environment

Why This Opportunity?

This is a rare chance to own AI at the foundation of a product, not inherit it. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders, make architectural decisions that stick, and see your work reach clients quickly. With a competitive salary up to €90k, a hybrid setup in Porto, and real influence over both product and engineering culture, it's built for someone who wants their work to matter from day one.

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.
