Senior AI Engineer
Actively Hiring
Full-time Posted 2 days ago
Role overview
We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer who combines strong software engineering fundamentals with hands-on experience shipping LLM-powered products to production. You will design and build AI features for the Kayzen Console and beyond, working across backend services, product-facing functionality, and the LLM layer.
This is a hands-on engineering role. We are not looking for a research-focused ML profile or someone who has only experimented with LLMs. This role is ideal for engineers who have already built, shipped, monitored and improved production LLM systems and is comfortable contributing in a full-stack product environment .
Responsibilities
- check_circle Architect, develop, and deploy production-grade LLM capabilities within the Kayzen Console
- check_circle Build backend services, APIs, and integrations that connect AI capabilities with our product.
- check_circle Contribute to product-facing and full-stack functionality where needed.
- check_circle Implement production patterns for LLMs, RAG, embeddings, agents, and tool calling.
- check_circle Build reusable components and abstractions where they improve engineering velocity and consistency.
- check_circle Set up and improve evaluation, observability, monitoring, and feedback loops for AI features.
- check_circle Monitor and optimize quality, latency, reliability, and inference cost.
- check_circle Troubleshoot production issues and iterate based on telemetry and user feedback.
- check_circle Work closely with Product, ML and Engineering to translate product problems into pragmatic AI solutions.
- check_circle Prototype quickly, validate ideas, and turn successful experiments into maintainable production systems.
Basic qualifications
- Hands-on experience building and shipping LLM-powered features to production.
- Experience with LLM APIs and orchestration patterns; specific frameworks are less important than strong fundamentals.
- Good understanding of production LLM concerns such as evaluation, observability, failure modes, cost and latency.
- Experience iterating on AI features based on telemetry, evaluation results or user feedback.
- Full-stack product development using Angular, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, NodeJS etc. is a strong plus.
- Strong experience designing APIs, services and production-grade systems.
- Ability to write clean, maintainable code and take ownership from implementation through production.
- Experience contributing across a product stack and willingness to work on both backend systems and user-facing product functionality.
- Comfort working with AWS cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and production environments.
- Bias for shipping, iteration and pragmatic problem solving.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change.
- Able to collaborate closely with Product, ML and Engineering stakeholders.
- Can discuss trade-offs, challenge requirements constructively and translate AI complexity into practical product solutions.
- Thinks in terms of maintainability and reuse rather than one-off demos.
- Heavy model training or research.
- Designing custom ML algorithms.
- Academic optimization work.
- Building proofs of concept that never reach production.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with multi-agent systems, tool calling or MCP.
- Experience setting up guardrails, moderation and safety checks.
- Experience with prompt/context management, routing, caching or fallback strategies.
- Experience with Docker and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure).
- Experience with modern frontend development and customer-facing web applications.
- Direct access to top management and an extremely "visible" role
- Exceptional career growth and learning opportunity
- A unique opportunity to be part of an experienced team of industry experts and entrepreneurs who bring massive change to the Adtech market
- A fun, driven, and multinational team located across Germany, India, UK, Argentina, Ukraine, Turkey, Spain and many more countries
- A flexible work-from-home arrangement
- A 500-dollar home-office setup budget
- A 1000-dollar annual learning and development budget
- Visa and relocation support (if required)
