Job description
closely with product, backend engineers, and operational stakeholders to deliver tools that directly improve how we serve clients and run Kraken. Example initiatives you may contribute to include: - An LLM-powered assistant for internal knowledge and discovery - Summarising code changes to support client delivery and decision-making - Helping teams assess and accelerate client migrations What You'll Do Build and ship LLM-powered internal tools that improve knowledge access, reduce time spent on discovery, and support client delivery outcomes Take ownership of projects end-to-end: problem framing * experimentation * engineering * production deployment * monitoring and iteration Design and operate LLM systems in the real world (quality, latency, cost, reliability), including strong evaluation practices and fast feedback loops Use classic ML / data science skills to complement LLM approaches where appropriate (e.g., ranking, classification, analytics, measurement) Work hands-on in, You will build and ship LLM-powered internal tools that improve knowledge access and support client delivery outcomes. Additionally, you will take ownership of projects from problem framing to production deployment and monitoring.
Requirements
Machine Learning, Python, Data Science, LLM, Production Deployment, Collaboration, Evaluation Practices, Experimentation, Monitoring, Iteration, Backend Engineering, Client Delivery, Data Analysis, Ambiguity Management, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, a Python-first ecosystem to build services, pipelines, and tooling that are maintainable, testable, and production-ready Collaborate closely with backend engineers, product, and internal users (including Client Delivery Leads) to define MVPs, iterate quickly, and drive adoption Contribute to a culture of strong engineering practices, pragmatic experimentation, and continuous learning What We're Looking For Proven experience using LLMs in production (beyond a proof of concept) - you can clearly explain what shipped, what users needed, and how you managed trade-offs Strong end-to-end delivery experience: you've taken ML/LLM work into production and owned it beyond launch Solid data science and analysis skills: you're comfortable working with large datasets, defining metrics, evaluating system performance, and diagnosing failures High proficiency in Python (this is the core language across our data and ML stack) Comfort operating in ambiguity: you can move from a fuzzy problem to a clear plan, validate assumptions quickly, and iterate It Would Be Great If You Had Experience with AWS, and deploying/operating systems using Docker and/or Kubernetes Familiarity with the Python data/ML ecosystem (e.g., Pandas, PyTorch) Experience building internal tooling used by operational teams, and driving adoption through iteration and feedback Exposure to large codebases and cross-team collaboration in product-led engineering environments \n Kraken is a certified Great Place to Work in France, Germany, Spain, Japan and Australia.
