Job description

Ciklum is looking for a Expert Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Engineer to join our team full-time in Poland.

We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role:

As a Expert Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Engineer, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.

In this role, you will operate as an Expert AI Engineer, fully integrated into our partner's technical ecosystem. You will architect, build, and scale the internal AI platform and infrastructure designed for both software developers and non-technical teams across the business.

Rather than focusing on a single framework or programming language, this role is evaluated on your hands-on experience building and shipping production AI tooling, including custom skills, MCP connectors, and autonomous agent workflows. You will combine this delivery focus with sharp security judgment around credential handling, least privilege access, and prompt injection defense to drive safe, company-wide AI adoption.

Responsibilities:

  • AI Tooling & Platform Delivery: Build, ship, and host internal AI platforms, custom skills, MCP connectors, and agentic workflows accessible to both developers and non-developers across the company
  • Host Infrastructure: Architect and manage scalable cloud hosting environments to support internal AI tools, model integrations, and regular automated execution pipelines
  • AI Security & Risk Mitigation: Apply rigorous security judgment across all AI systems, implementing robust credential management, strict least privilege authorization, and defenses against prompt injection and data leaks
  • Agentic Execution & Automation: Design resilient multi-agent execution loops, integration layers, and orchestration pipelines that automate complex business and engineering tasks
  • AI FinOps & Governance: Implement token cost controls (semantic caching, model routing) and define internal AI governance standards, security policies, and quality benchmarks
  • Organizational Transformation: Coach cross-functional teams on AI adoption, optimize engineering workflows for an AI-first era, and establish metrics to measure the quantitative impact of AI on development velocity and delivery quality

Requirements:

  • Experience: 10+ years of professional software development experience with a strong background in backend architectures and system design
  • Proficiency in any modern backend-focused programming language (e.g., Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Go, Java)—proven hands-on delivery in the AI enablement space matters far more than mastery of a specific language
  • Hands-on AI Tooling Delivery: Proven track record of building, shipping, and maintaining production AI tooling, including MCP connectors, custom skills, and agentic workflows
  • Security Judgment: Deep practical understanding of AI security risks, including secure credential handling, least privilege access controls, and prompt injection mitigation
  • AI Hosting & Infrastructure: Practical experience setting up and managing cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) to host internal AI tools, model endpoints, and automation workflows
  • Enablement & Leadership: Demonstrated ability to guide engineering teams through AI adoption, optimize team processes, and align AI initiatives with business outcomes
  • Communication: Exceptional leadership and communication skills with C2/Native-level English fluency

Desirable:

  • Experience optimizing LLM usage costs through semantic caching, rate-limiting, and cost-aware model routing
  • Familiarity with modern AI standards, MCP, and frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex)
  • Experience with Docker, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tools (Datadog, ELK stack)

What’s in it for you?

  • Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment
  • Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise
  • Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications
  • Endless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies
  • Flexibility: Enjoy flexibility – full remote working possibilities
  • Care: We've got you covered with company-paid premium medical package through Luxmed
  • Benefits: Access the MyBenefit cafeteria platform, allowing you to choose perks that best suit your lifestyle and needs

About us:

At Ciklum, we are always exploring innovations, empowering each other to achieve more, and engineering solutions that matter. With us, you’ll work with cutting-edge technologies, contribute to impactful projects, and be part of a One Team culture that values collaboration and progress.

With delivery centers in Wrocław and Gdańsk, our 300+ professionals in Poland drive forward-thinking solutions for global clients. Join a community where collaboration sparks innovation—and your impact reaches millions.
