About the Position

Senior Applied AI Engineer

Poland

Hybrid - offices and coworks in major Polish cities

Position Overview

We’re looking for an Applied AI Engineer to turn a client’s AI ambition into working systems - and to build it hands-on, right alongside them. You’ll help shape the approach early, build proofs of concept that prove out what’s possible in a matter of weeks, and ship production-grade AI not long after. It’s real engineering done in close partnership with the client: understanding the need, then writing the code that brings it to life. An applied role across the whole arc of an engagement - from scoping the right solution to delivering it in production.

---

Responsibilities

• Partner with Delivery Managers to scope and win AI engagements - run technical discovery, design solution architectures, build and demo POCs that help win the work
• Act as the primary technical advisor during early post-sales phases, shaping how clients build on top of LLMs and agentic systems
• Work hands-on inside client engagements - in their systems and close to their team - shipping production code and, where the engagement calls for it, owning critical AI deployments end to end
• Design and build LLM-powered applications: RAG pipelines, multi-agent systems, MCP integrations, evaluation frameworks, and production inference stacks
• Run technical workshops and architecture reviews; transfer knowledge in ways that build lasting capability in client teams
• Contribute to reusable internal assets: solution blueprints, reference implementations, prompt libraries, evaluation toolkits
• Stay at the leading edge of the applied AI space - new models, tooling, and patterns - and bring that knowledge into client work

---

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years working on AI/ML or LLM-powered systems in production
• Hands-on production experience with LLMs: prompting, context engineering, agent architectures, tool use, RAG, evaluation
• Strong Python skills and experience shipping software that real users depend on
• Demonstrated ability to work directly with clients - you can run a technical scoping call, facilitate a workshop, and earn trust quickly with engineers and non-engineers alike
• Experience owning deliverables end-to-end in ambiguous environments without close supervision
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (GCP / AWS / Azure) and containerized deployment (Docker, Kubernetes)
• A real-impact, end-to-end ownership mindset - you want to solve real problems for real users, not chase hype or leave a PoC that never ships to production
• Based in Poland, with a valid work permit allowing you to work here

---

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting the sales process as the technical expert - building POCs, scoping, and answering clients’ technical questions before a deal is signed
• Hands-on experience with agentic frameworks: LangGraph, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, or MCP server development
• Familiarity with LLMOps tooling: LangSmith, Langfuse, W&B, or equivalent
• Experience building in regulated-industry environments (finance, healthcare, manufacturing)
• Exposure to model evaluation methodologies, or LLM-as-a-judge patterns
• A track record of building internal tools, demos, or reference implementations that other engineers reuse
