Your role:

We are seeking a highly skilled AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy end-to-end AI-powered products that drive measurable business impact across operations, offices, and products. This role goes beyond model development—owning the full lifecycle from problem framing and data exploration to production systems, APIs, and user-facing applications.

The AI Engineer transforms complex, high-volume data into scalable, intuitive solutions by combining advanced AI/ML techniques with modern software engineering and full-stack development. This role works closely with AI product owners, AI data scientists, business SMEs, and IT partners to deliver robust, production-grade AI solutions that are embedded in real workflows and decision-making processes.

This role requires a product-oriented, hands-on builder with strong analytical depth, engineering excellence, and a passion for solving real-world problems end-to-end.

Key Responsibilities:

Product & Problem Framing

• Translate business needs into end-to-end AI product solutions with clear success metrics, user workflows, and decision impact

• Define MVP scope, prioritize features based on ROI and feasibility, and drive iterative delivery from concept to scaled adoption

• Design human-in-the-loop, human-on-the-loop, and autonomous AI experiences aligned to business processes

Data & Feature Engineering

• Perform exploratory data analysis across structured and unstructured datasets to uncover actionable insights

• Engineer scalable feature pipelines, embeddings, and transformations for ML and GenAI use cases

• Establish data contracts, quality checks, and reusable data assets to support production systems

Model Development & Applied AI

• Develop and deploy machine learning and AI models across domains including computer vision, time-series, anomaly detection, and optimization

• Leverage LLMs/VLMs, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, and agent-based frameworks for modern AI applications

• Balance accuracy, latency, interpretability, and cost to meet real-world constraints

• Extend solutions from predictive to prescriptive decision-making

MLOps & Productionization

• Design and implement end-to-end pipelines for training, validation, deployment, and monitoring

• Apply CI/CD, containerization (Docker), and orchestration to ensure scalable and reliable deployments

• Implement model monitoring, drift detection, and automated retraining strategies

• Optimize systems for performance, cost, and real-time/edge constraints

Full-Stack Development & Integration

• Build production-grade APIs, microservices, and backend systems to serve AI models

• Develop lightweight front-end applications, dashboards, or user interfaces to enable business adoption

• Integrate AI solutions into enterprise systems (e.g., MES, ERP, supply chain platforms)

• Ensure seamless user experience from data to decision

Collaboration & Product Delivery

• Partner with AI Product Owners, SMEs, and IT teams to deliver integrated, high-value solutions

• Translate technical capabilities into business value and user outcomes

• Lead technical direction for vendors and external partners to ensure quality and delivery alignment

• Contribute to reusable blueprints, accelerators, and best practices across AI initiatives

Responsible AI & Governance

• Ensure explainability, fairness, privacy, and compliance across the AI lifecycle

• Maintain documentation including model cards, data lineage, and system architecture

• Implement guardrails and evaluation frameworks for GenAI and agent-based systems.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Management in Information Technology, Software Engineering and other related in discipline Computer Science

• 5+ years of experience delivering end-to-end AI/ML solutions in production environments

• Fluency in English

• Strong programming skills in Python and experience with ML frameworks (scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow)

• Experience building production systems (APIs, microservices, backend services) using frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or similar

• Experience with frontend or visualization frameworks (e.g., React, Streamlit, Power BI, or similar) to deliver user-facing solutions

• Hands-on expertise in data processing, feature engineering, and large-scale data handling

• Strong experience in model development, evaluation, and deployment

• Familiarity with LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, and AI agents frameworks (preferred)

• Experience with MLOps practices: CI/CD, Docker, model versioning, monitoring

• Knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and data platforms (Snowflake, Spark)

• Experience integrating AI into enterprise workflows and operational systems

• Strong business acumen with ability to connect AI solutions to ROI and outcomes

• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills

The starting salary is at min 3 500 EUR/month gross for candidates who meet our minimum criteria.
