Requirements

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience (backend/Python), with at least 1 year building LLM-based applications in production.
  • Strong Python: FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy/Alembic, async programming, pytest.
  • Hands-on with LLM tooling: agent frameworks (e.g. Google ADK), LiteLLM or similar gateways, tool/function calling, MCP, and RAG with vector databases.
  • Comfortable with Docker, AWS (S3 and related), CI/CD and observability tooling.
  • Critical competencies: pragmatic problem-solving, written clarity, ownership, and sound judgment on data privacy and security.
  • Language: fluent English (written and spoken).

Nice to have

  • Experience with Salesforce, Atlassian APIs or HR/payroll/global-employment domain data.
  • Experience running or evaluating closed-weight and/or open-weight models or with PII anonymization and AI governance frameworks (GDPR, ISO 42001, EU AI Act).
  • Experience with Python/Node.js/TypeScript, as some MCP tooling is built that way.
  • A track record of building evaluation harnesses or benchmarks for LLM systems.

Not Your Typical Team...

Salary: Starting from €45,000 per annum gross, subject to location, skills and experience

  • Global, remote, and thriving: We're a global team of talented individuals spread across 26 countries. Our WorkFlex program lets you work from anywhere, anytime. Whether it's a beachside office or a cosy home office, the choice is yours.
  • Your well-being is our priority: We know mental health matters, which is why we offer a dedicated Well-Being Day-a full day off just to recharge and relax.

The role

We don't just need an AI Engineer - we need a builder. We're looking for someone who gets their energy from turning messy, real-world workflows (document processing, customer support interactions, contracts, sales and account operations) into reliable AI-powered services, while keeping a sharp, analytical focus on how their work delivers real business impact.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to stay in their lane. You'll be at the center of it all - owning AI services from prototype to production: agents, LLM pipelines and the MCP tooling around them - ensuring everything you touch is reliable, measurable and secure] and aligned with our wider goals.

You won't be a solo operator. You'll collaborate with the engineering and the product development teams, bringing everything together to ensure consistency, impact, and momentum across the board.

What you'll do

  • Design, build and ship production AI services in Python (FastAPI, async), including multi agent systems and LLM-powered pipelines for document processing, chatbots and CRM automation.
  • Develop and maintain MCP servers and integrations that give agents safe, well-scoped access to company systems.
  • Build retrieval and ingestion pipelines: document parsing, chunking, embeddings and vector search, over AWS storage.
  • Evaluate and improve quality. This means benchmarks, regression tests, replay of real cases and prompt/playbook iteration, with cost and latency in view.
  • Operate what you build: containerized deployments, observability, authentication and PII safe handling of employee and customer data.
  • Contribute to AI governance by keeping lifecycle records, documenting risks and decisions, and supporting different ISO evidence.
