This is a builder role: you will write, ship, and operate code in real customer environments. You bridge product intent, engineering execution, and real-world deployment, owning solutions end to end. From discovery through production, you make sure the agentic system delivers measurable customer and business impact.\nResponsibilities:\nDesign and deploy production AI systems\nDesign, build, and deploy production-ready AI systems in real customer environments.\nImplement agentic AI solutions: RAG and retrieval, orchestration, tool and function calling, multi-step workflows.\nTranslate ambiguous customer problems into shippable technical architectures with clear trade-offs.\nMove solutions from proof of concept to production with measurable adoption.\nEngineer for enterprise-grade quality: secure, scalable, observable, resilient.\nProve the system works, and keep proving it\nBuild the evaluation harness: baseline quality metrics, regression gates, safety checks, offline evals before anything ships.\nEstablish deployment patterns, evaluation loops, and monitoring frameworks that survive after you leave.\nImplement reliability patterns: retries, fallbacks, idempotency, and safe failure modes for agentic workflows.\nInstrument for traces, dashboards, and alerts covering reliability, latency, and cost per outcome.\nTune for performance and economics without trading away quality.\nBuild with AI coding agents, and be the editor of what they produce\nCommand specialized AI coding agents (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Devin, custom LLM scripts) as you would junior developers, then refine their output into robust, maintainable production code.\nAct as technical editor for AI-generated code: catch the specific failure modes that LLMs introduce before they reach production.\nThese are two different jobs and you will do both. Evaluating the system you deliver to the customer is about accuracy, grounding, and safety. Reviewing code an agent wrote for you is about the mistakes that only LLM-generated code makes. Being good at one does not make you good at the other.\nOwn the security posture of what you ship\nOWASP fluency, secrets management, rigorous input validation, auth and authz correct by default.\nLLM-specific defenses: prompt injection, access controls, PII boundaries between the customer's data and the model.\nSecurity and privacy fundamentals applied in the implementation, not documented as an intention.\nOwn end-to-end customer delivery\nLead delivery from discovery and architecture through rollout, iteration, and operational readiness.\nMake pragmatic architectural decisions under delivery pressure and inside someone else's stack.\nBuild and maintain the integration plumbing: APIs, identity, data sources, legacy systems, observable data flow across the stack.\nMeasure success by delivered impact and adoption, not by effort or billable time.\nCommunicate at customer and executive altitude\nExplain architecture, risks, and constraints to executives and non-technical stakeholders in decision-ready language.\nFrame decisions across scope, reliability, speed, and cost, and push back constructively when the ask and the constraint do not fit.\nTransition delivery into durable ownership\nHand over a system that operates without you: clear ownership, documentation, monitoring, support and iteration plans.\nMentor engineers in production-grade AI delivery practices and reusable reference architectures.\nCapture reusable patterns as accelerators and playbooks so the next deployment starts \nRequirements:\nSeniority: 7+ years in software engineering, architecture, or technical delivery, at Senior Developer or Technical Team Lead level, with a strong record of shipping production systems.\nCustomer-embedded delivery: demonstrated discovery-to-deployment work in enterprise environments, in the customer's own setting.\n Backend and integration engineering: hands-on with APIs (REST/GraphQL), services, and data integrations. Strong backend orchestration in Python and Node.js. Strong debugging skills.\n LLM application engineering: experience building with LLM APIs (Anthropic/Claude preferred), tool calling, RAG, orchestration, and creating eval and quality gates.\nAI-first engineering mindset: proven experience integrating AI deeply into your daily workflow, and treating AI coding agents as junior developers whose work you review.\nAI-native code-review fluency: you know the common failure modes of LLM-generated code and can review, refactor, and harden it to enterprise standards.\n Production discipline: zero-downtime mindset, CI/CD, environments, containerization (Docker, Serverless), robust logging, database migrations, rollback procedures, incident response.\nCloud: hands-on experience with at least one of AWS, Azure, or GCP.\nSecurity depth: OWASP fluency, secure handling of secrets and sensitive data, rigorous input validation, confident auth and authz implementation, PII handling.\nCommunication: able to lead technical conversations with non-technical stakeholders and translate trade-offs for decision-makers.\nTravel: open to travel up to 70%\nBenefits:\nGeneral benefits - depends on the form of employment\nHybrid work model combining office & remote work \nAttractively located office with collaboration spaces\nOnsite parking space for employees \nReferral program with financial bonus \nLife Insurance \nBudget for development (including language courses and others), clear career path with the possibility to gain experience in international environment \nAccess to internal Learning Platform with multiple trainings oriented for professional growth \nLifestyle benefits:\nAccess to MyBenefit platform (Multisport included) \nTeam Building activities \nCharity initiatives \nWorking environment promoting diversity and inclusion \nHealth benefits:\nPrivate medical care -
