We believe generative AI will redefine banking: smarter, faster, and more human.\nAs an AI Engineer, you'll build agentic systems and the models behind them, and take them all the way to production. We're always open to a challenge, and we're looking for engineers who are too.\nKey Responsibilities\nBuild agentic systems end-to-end with a deep understanding of every component you build or use - how it works and why.\nBuild models on demand - LLMs, speech models, ASR, and any other model the system needs to work better and run more efficiently - by training from scratch or fine-tuning (using modern methods such as parameter-efficient fine-tuning, preference optimization, and reinforcement learning).\nOwn your models end-to-end - from data and evaluation to production, where you optimize them for latency, cost, and reliability and keep improving them.\nFollow responsible AI practices - fairness, safety, and compliance with banking regulations.\nCollaborate with product, backend, data, and MLOps teams.\nMust-Have\nBachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, AI/ML, NLP, or a related field - or equivalent hands-on experience.\nHands-on experience building ML/GenAI systems - around 1-3 years for Mid; for Junior, strong internships, research, or projects count.\nExperience building agentic systems and a real understanding of how they work under the hood.\nHands-on experience training models from scratch and fine-tuning - at any scale, including research or personal projects.\nExperience putting a model you trained into production and optimizing it.\nSolid foundations in deep learning and transformer architectures, with fluency in modern frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face).\nAn appetite for hard, unfamiliar problems.\nNice-to-Have\n Big bonus: an AI award or a publication at a top venue (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL, Interspeech, CVPR…).\nUnderstanding of GPU architecture - memory hierarchy, kernels (CUDA/Triton), and techniques like FlashAttention.\nExperience with modern serving stacks (vLLM, TGI, SGLang).\nCloud & containerized deployment - GCP preferred; AWS or Azure welcome; Kubernetes a plus.\nVietnamese or low-resource NLP/speech, or fintech / digital-banking experience.\nWhy You'll Love Working at Cake\nReal scale, real impact - your models are used daily by 7M+ people.\nA modern cloud-native stack - GCP, Vertex AI, Kubernetes, Airflow - plus our own large-scale physical GPUs for real training runs.\nGrow fast across LLMs, speech, and agents, with mentorship from senior engineers.\nA collaborative, high-performing team where experimentation and innovation are the norm.\nOur Benefits\nCompetitive compensation - 13th-month salary and up to 3 months of performance-based bonus.\nMacBooks supplied to all technical team members.\nBE Corp budget (varies by level) for transport, food, and car bookings in the Be app.\nSocial insurance contribution based on your individual level.\nAnnual health checks and premium medical care (PTI) after probation.\n15 days of annual leave for all staff.\nCompany trips, team-building, and quarterly or annual happy-hour events.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3207,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Banks & Neobanks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T03:33:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.898,"p_room":1,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cake-by-vpbank-ai-engineer-juniormid","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cake-by-vpbank-ai-engineer-juniormid.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T21:17:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29390,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":49440},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=49440"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcake-by-vpbank-ai-engineer-juniormid"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcake-by-vpbank-ai-engineer-juniormid"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcake-by-vpbank-ai-engineer-juniormid"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cake-by-vpbank-ai-engineer-juniormid\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcake-by-vpbank-ai-engineer-juniormid"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1941743}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cake.vn","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1941743},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
