AI Engineer (all genders)

We’re early in our AI journey. Beyond a well-customized ChatGPT integration, our AI features are not yet productionized. You will take MVPs → reliable, secure, cost-aware services on Azure, owning the path from design and evals to deployment and monitoring.
 
As our first dedicated full-time AI Engineer, your mission is to own the end-to-end lifecycle of our generative AI features, taking them from MVPs to robust, production-grade services. Reporting to the IT Lead, you will be the hands-on expert responsible for building and scaling our AI capabilities. You will implement features like document summarization and Q&A chat, build MLOps on Azure, and establish the best practices that will become the foundation for our future AI team.
 
This is a senior Individual Contributor role: hands-on delivery first, with influence on architecture and future hiring.

• 5+ years in MLOps/Data (SaaS/cloud) with shipped production systems.
• You have 2+ years of specific experience with Generative AI (LLMs, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, etc.).
• Proven RAG delivery with production-grade evals (automatic + targeted human review), observability (traces, prompt/response logging with PII-safe redaction), and safeguards (prompt-injection/jailbreak mitigations).
• Python + Docker; MLflow; Azure (Azure OpenAI or compatible), vector index (Azure AI Search/pgvector/Elastic), and async orchestration.
• High ownership; challenges assumptions with data.
• You are a strong communicator, fluent in English, and thrive in a remote-first, cross-functional environment.
• Experience with Databricks, Ray, or Kedro is a strong plus.

 
Please note: You must be eligible to work in Portugal (i.e., be an EU citizen or hold a valid Portuguese work permit).
 
We know that you may not currently meet all the requirements. But if you come to us with the right amount of commitment and enthusiasm, we can take off together and make a big difference.
