AI Engineer Contractor

Location: Bucharest, Romania

Contract: 5 months

Start: ASAP

Working model: Fully flexible

You’ll help scale a live AI platform that automates complex operational workflows using LangGraph, LLMs, and agentic systems. The platform is already in production. Your focus will be building reliable autonomous workflows that replace manual processes end-to-end.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who has already built production AI systems, not experimented with them.

What you’ll work on

  • Building and scaling LangGraph-based agentic workflows
  • Designing multi-step AI systems that integrate with enterprise tooling and APIs
  • Shipping production-grade Python services
  • Supporting Spring Boot API integrations where needed
  • Solving operational automation problems across renewals, maintenance, and triage workflows

Why this role is worth considering

  • Real production AI work, not internal experiments
  • High ownership and influence over technical direction
  • Small senior team with fast decision-making
  • Strong engineering environment focused on shipping
  • Fully flexible working setup

Required

  • Commercial experience building production LLM or agentic systems
  • Strong Python engineering background
  • Hands-on LangGraph experience
  • Experience integrating APIs and enterprise systems
  • Ability to design resilient end-to-end AI workflows

Nice to have

  • Java / Spring Boot
  • AWS / DevOps
  • Pydantic
  • SQL optimisation
