ABOUT THE ROLE

Safe Software is looking for a Staff AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems across the organization.

This is a hands-on engineering role responsible for the full AI lifecycle, from data preparation and model development through evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. You will work across generative AI, applied machine learning, retrieval, and agentic systems while establishing reusable architectures and engineering standards for complex production implementations.

ABOUT THE TEAM

AI Enablement helps Safe Software adopt AI effectively and responsibly. The team builds shared capabilities, platforms, and engineering standards while enabling departments to deliver AI solutions aligned with common security and governance practices.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

- Design, build, evaluate, deploy, and operate end-to-end AI/ML systems in production, spanning data preparation, model development, training or fine-tuning, integration, application logic, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

- Architect and build agentic and multi-agent systems, including orchestration, task routing, shared state, tool use, agent handoffs, human oversight, and failure recovery.

- Design and build enterprise knowledge and retrieval systems across structured and unstructured data, using data pipelines, embeddings, hybrid search, reranking, metadata, and access-controlled retrieval.

- Integrate AI solutions with enterprise applications, APIs, databases, data platforms, and governed tools.

- Establish automated testing, evaluation, and observability practices covering task success, model and retrieval quality, hallucination risk, tool execution, safety, latency, cost, drift, and regression.

- Design secure and responsible AI systems with least-privilege access, auditability, sensitive-data protection, and safeguards against prompt injection, data leakage, and unauthorized actions.

- Create reusable architectures, libraries, and engineering standards, and provide cross-functional technical leadership through design reviews, mentoring, and stakeholder collaboration.

- Evaluate emerging Large Language Models, frameworks, and platforms and make evidence-based adoption recommendations.

QUALIFICATIONS, SKILLS, AND COMPETENCIES

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 8+ years across software engineering and AI/ML, including 3+ years building and operating AI/ML systems in production at scale.

- Strong software engineering skills, particularly in Python or comparable backend technologies.

- Experience developing, adapting, fine-tuning, evaluating, deploying, and monitoring AI or machine learning models.

- Applied AI experience in enterprise use cases such as chatbots, workflow automation, RAG, intelligent document processing, recommendation systems, or decision support.

- Strong understanding of generative AI, LLMs, retrieval systems, agent-based architectures, and applied machine learning.

- Experience with production data pipelines, APIs, model-serving infrastructure, testing, security, reliability, and observability.

- Ability to explain complex technical decisions and tradeoffs to engineering teams and business stakeholders.

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience with agent and workflow orchestration tools such LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, CrewAI, or equivalent.

- Experience with vector databases, semantic or hybrid search, embeddings, and reranking.

- Experience with platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, Amazon Bedrock, Microsoft Foundry/Azure AI, or equivalent.

- Familiarity with MCP, A2A, self-hosted or open-weight models, and hybrid AI architectures.

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.
