ML/AI Engineer

About the Position

We are seeking a skilled ML/AI Engineer to join our team in Kyiv, Ukraine, specializing in building, deploying, and serving ML models in production. The core of this role is building, deploying, and serving ML models in production. A key part of this role is speech engineering - prior ASR/speech experience is not a must, but a willingness to learn and grow into this domain is essential. Experience with LLM-based solutions and agentic flows is an advantage, not a requirement.

Responsibilities

• Build, deploy, and serve ML models in production - the core of the role - optimizing inference performance, latency, and efficient GPU utilization.
• Support and extend our speech solutions, including 3rd-party ASR integrations and self-hosted ML models.
• Evaluate and optimize key ASR/ML metrics such as WER, latency, F1 score, EER, and DER.
• *Secondary: *Integrate LLMs and agentic flows into production solutions where they add value, including fine-tuning existing models.

Requirements

• Solid background in machine/deep learning, with 4+ years of experience.
• Strong Python skills and experience working in Linux environments.
• Familiarity with deep learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and training workflows.
• Experience with MLOps pipelines and serving/deploying models in production.
• Experience optimizing models for inference, including GPU acceleration.
• Experience with Docker, gRPC, and serverless / micro-services architectures on cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Experience with real-time / streaming systems and low-latency processing (e.g. streaming pipelines, live sessions).

Nice to Have

• Experience building and productizing agentic flows and AI-driven solutions (1+ year).
• Familiarity with LLM / agent orchestration frameworks such as CrewAI, AWS Bedrock, Temporal, AgentCore, or LiteLLM.
• Prior ASR / speech experience - not required; willingness to learn this domain is what matters most.

We Offer

• Join a team of 250 professionals building AI-driven solutions for leading organizations.
• Work with advanced LLMs, GenAI capabilities, and speech AI.
• Contribute to a next-generation verbal-intelligence platform that powers legal-tech automation, real-time insights, intelligent media, and learning workflows.
• Be part of a fast-paced, startup environment with opportunities for growth and learning.
