As an AI Engineer, you would be responsible for:
- Designing, building and operating production AI and machine learning solutions, including data pipelines, models and inference services.
- Developing LLM-powered features using approaches such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agent workflows, tool calling and structured outputs, with a focus on reliability, measurable quality and cost efficiency.
- Delivering end-to-end machine learning workflows on Databricks, from data preparation and feature development through training and evaluation to batch and real-time deployment.
- Maintaining quality in production through versioning, evaluation, monitoring and drift detection, and supporting the investigation and recovery of solutions when issues arise.
- Collaborating with Product, Engineering, Commercial and Operations teams to translate business needs into scoped technical requirements, measurable success criteria and realistic delivery plans, including relevant data and privacy constraints.
- Contributing to governance-ready data and AI practices covering quality, lineage, access, security, GDPR and responsible AI, including relevant EU AI Act requirements.

- 3–5 years of hands-on experience in Machine Learning Engineering, Applied AI, Data Science or a related field, including experience taking at least one AI or machine learning solution from prototype into production.
- Strong Python skills and practical experience with machine learning frameworks such as scikit-learn, PyTorch or equivalent technologies, along with solid SQL and warehouse or lakehouse experience.
- Hands-on experience with Databricks, including several of the following: Spark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, MLflow or Workflows.
- Experience evaluating and deploying models beyond the experimentation stage, with an understanding of monitoring, reliability and production quality.
- Familiarity with LLM application patterns such as RAG, prompt workflows and evaluation, as well as cloud platforms, ideally AWS, and CI/CD practices for machine learning, or the foundations and motivation to develop further in these areas.
- The ability to independently deliver well-defined AI/ML tasks, collaborate with product and business stakeholders and explain technical trade-offs, model behavior and limitations to non-technical audiences.
