  • Ensure code quality, testing, monitoring, and performance optimization of AI systems in production
  • Contribute to MLOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, model lifecycle management, and observability
  • Document technical decisions and implementation details

Required Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, AI, or a related field
  • 7+ years of experience in backend software engineering with the latest 1-2 years developing and implementing AI-powered solutions
  • Proven hands-on experience building and deploying LLM applications, especially RAG-based systems
  • Strong programming skills with the following order of preference regarding languages: Python > .NET > TypeScript > Java
  • Experience integrating LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI)
  • Solid understanding of vector databases (e.g., Pinecone or Weaviate) and semantic search architectures
  • Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) in production environments
  • Understanding of APIs, microservices, and scalable backend architecture
  • Experience deploying applications to production environments
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-evolving AI landscape

Nice to Have

  • Experience contributing to AI system architecture design and technical standards
  • Experience participating in AI roadmap discussions and technical planning
  • Experience designing or implementing multi-agent AI systems
  • Experience with alternative vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Milvus)
  • Experience with Hugging Face ecosystem or fine-tuning open-source models
  • Hands-on experience with advanced MLOps frameworks and model governance
  • PhD (completed or in progress) in a relevant field
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading smaller technical initiatives

WE OFFER:

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.
