Job description

This is a senior, high-impact role where you will own the design and delivery of both AI orchestration systems and the underlying platform infrastructure.

You will be responsible for building the layer that connects AI models, workflows, and decision-making processes, while also ensuring the platform is secure, scalable, and compliant for enterprise use.

Working closely with product, data, and engineering teams, you will play a key role in bringing AI-driven features into production and ensuring they operate reliably and efficiently.

This role suits someone who enjoys building from scratch, taking ownership, and working across both AI systems and platform engineering in a fast-moving environment.

Requirements

  • Strong experience with Python
  • Experience building production systems using LLMs or generative AI
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering, RAG, or agent-based architectures
  • Experience working with APIs, distributed systems, or event-driven architectures
  • Understanding of authentication and security protocols
  • Experience building secure, scalable platforms
  • Knowledge of observability, monitoring, and system reliability
  • Proven experience owning systems end-to-end

If you are looking for a new challenge and want to work on cutting-edge AI systems, please submit your CV for initial screening and further details.
