Senior AI Engineer - EU

Who we are

Typeform is a refreshingly different form builder. We help over 150,000 businesses collect the data they need with forms, surveys, and quizzes that people enjoy. Designed to look striking and feel effortless to fill out, Typeform drives 500 million responses every year-and integrates with essential tools like Slack, Zapier, and Hubspot.

Typeform is fully remote by design. For this role, we can hire candidates based in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Portugal, Spain or The Netherlands

About the team

The AI Engineering team builds the systems and capabilities behind Typeform’s AI products, including Research Flow, our platform for combining quantitative research with deeper qualitative insights.

We use machine learning, large language models, RAG, and agentic systems to help customers collect, understand, and act on information in more conversational and personalised ways.

Through Research Flow, this includes helping customers design studies, run AI-moderated conversations with adaptive follow-up questions, and turn responses into useful insights.

The team owns the journey from experimentation through to production. This includes AI application development, evaluation, infrastructure, deployment, observability, reliability, and performance.

You will work closely with Product Managers, Software Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Engineers, and Analytics teams to turn promising AI ideas into secure, scalable, and dependable customer experiences.

About the role

As a Senior AI Engineer at Typeform, you will be instrumental in building and evolving the AI capabilities behind Research Flow, alongside our broader AI products.

Your work will help customers understand the “why” behind responses and move from research questions to informed decisions faster.

Your scope will span generative AI applications, enterprise RAG systems, agentic workflows, model evaluation, machine learning pipelines, and the infrastructure required to run them reliably at scale.

This is a hands-on engineering role with strong ownership. You will turn ideas and prototypes into production systems used by our customers, with direct influence on their quality and performance. You will also help define the technical standards for developing, evaluating, deploying, and monitoring AI across Typeform.
