You should be comfortable working across the full lifecycle of a product-from ideation and architecture to deployment and automation-while navigating ambiguity and driving toward execution. Strong systems thinking, ownership mindset, and the ability to ship value fast are essential., · 5+ years of professional software engineering experience; ability to independently design and ship complex systems in production. · Strong programming skills in Python (preferred), Java, or similar languages, with experience in developing microservices, APIs, and backend systems. · Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to balance engineering rigor with delivery speed. · Solid understanding of software architecture, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), and modern DevOps practices. · Experience integrating machine learning models into production systems (e.g., LLMs via APIs, fine-tuning, RAG patterns, embeddings, agents and crew of agents etc.). · Ability to move quickly while maintaining code quality, test coverage, and operational excellence. Preferred: · Familiarity with AI/ML tools such as LangChain, Haystack, Hugging Face, Weaviate, or similar ecosystems. · Hands-on experience with Retrieval Augmented Generation applications, AI agents and systems built around them. · Experience using GenAI frameworks such as LlamaIndex, Crew AI, AutoGen, or similar agentic/LLM orchestration toolkits. · Exposure to working with unstructured data (documents, conversations, images) and transforming it into usable structured formats. · Experience building chatbots, search systems, or generative AI interfaces. · Background in working within platform engineering or internal developer tools teams. · Prior experience working in an embedded (forward-deployed) team model with business stakeholders. · Experience building production grade, reliable AI ## Description We're looking for engineers who think holistically, automate relentlessly, and are fluent in the fast-moving world of AI tooling and infrastructure-but grounded in disciplined, · Design, develop, and maintain production-grade AI applications and services using modern software engineering practices (CI/CD, testing, observability, cloud-native design). · Define and implement foundational platforms and tools (e.g., conversational bots, AI-powered search, unstructured data processing, GenBI) that are reusable and scalable across the enterprise. · Participate in cross functional team initiatives-embedded projects with business stakeholders-to rapidly build and deploy AI solutions that solve high-priority business problems. · Evaluate and integrate existing AI tools, frameworks, and APIs (e.g., LLMs, vector DBs, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents) into robust applications. · Champion automation in workflows-from data management ingestion and preprocessing to evaluation, to model integration and deployment. · Collaborate with data scientists, product managers, and other engineers to ensure end-to-end delivery and reliability of AI products. · Stay current with emerging AI technologies but prioritize practical application and delivery over experimental research. · Contribute to the internal knowledge base, tooling libraries, and documentation to scale AI engineering best practices across the organization. ## Related Videos - [Should we build Generative AI into our existing software?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1129-should-we-build-generative-ai-into-our-existing-software) - [Command the Bots: Mastering robots.txt for Generative AI and Search Marketing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1165-command-the-bots-mastering-robots-txt-for-generative-ai-and-search-marketing) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Design as an algorithm, not as a feature](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/471-design-as-an-algorithm-not-as-a-feature) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
