Quick summary
We are looking for a Senior AI Software Engineer to join our R&D group and help design and implement our next-generation AI-driven data and intelligence platform. This role is ideal for a senior engineer who thrives at the intersection of software engineering, data pipelines, and applied AI — someone who can bridge solid backend foundations with practical experience in modern AI systems.
What you'll do
- Design and build scalable data pipelines to gather, prepare, and serve data for AI workflows — including evaluation, fine-tuning, and retrieval pipelines.
- Integrate and operationalize LLMs and multimodal models , focusing on applying and adapting existing open-source or commercial models rather than building from scratch.
- Conduct error analysis, model evaluation, and cost/performance optimization to ensure production readiness and efficiency.
- Develop and maintain backend services (primarily in Java and Python ) that power AI-driven features and automate data processing.
- Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and information retrieval pipelines to enhance system intelligence.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience , including system design and production-grade development.
- B.Sc. in Computer Science or Software Engineering (M.Sc. a plus).
- Strong proficiency in Java and Python .
- Experience in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Hands-on experience with Kafka , SQL , and NoSQL databases.
Nice to have
- Fluency with AI-assisted development (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, JetBrains AI) and experience defining org-wide usage guidelines.
- Experience with multi-model routing, tool-use/agents, and safety classifiers/guardrails.
- Knowledge of model optimization techniques (quantization, distillation) and GPU/accelerator stacks.
