AI Engineer - fully remote (m/f/d)

Your Crew

We are seeking a highly motivated and creative individual to join our team as an AI Prototyping Engineer. In this role, you will have the exciting opportunity to explore and harness the potential of generative AI, utilizing cutting-edge APIs and open-source models to develop innovative prototypes and support our teams in integrating AI-generated insights into production-ready applications.

The ideal candidate should possess a strong passion for AI and a self-driven desire to experiment with the latest models, tools, and frameworks in the rapidly evolving field of generative AI. You should be able to find and exploit capabilities of models through hands-on experience and apply them to domains that have not yet been fully recognized or utilized. While a solid software engineering background is a plus, we value your enthusiasm and willingness to dive into this transformative paradigm of software development above all else.

Your Course - and what we expect from you

• Collaborate with strategists, product managers, and cross-functional teams to identify opportunities for leveraging AI in our products.
• Accelerate innovation by rapidly prototyping and validating AI-powered features, selecting the most suitable models and tools for each task, and embracing the "fire, ready, aim" workflow to move faster than traditional ML approaches.
• Support our development operations engineers in shaping and refining our AI / prompt-ops environment, and work with code generation agents and other tools to harness AI effectively.
• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in the AI market, evaluating and selecting emerging models, technologies, and approaches for each use case, considering factors such as performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Assist teams in continuously improving the performance and reliability of released AI-powered features through iterative development and testing.

Your Equipment

• Verifiable hands-on experience in applying AI models and tools, whether for personal experimentation or solving real-world problems, and the ability to find and exploit capabilities of models through hands-on experience.
• Familiarity with popular AI frameworks and libraries, such as Hugging Face, LangChain, Llamaindex, and LMStudio.
• Proficiency in Python or JavaScript, and an understanding of the growing importance of human-written code in orchestrating and supplanting LLM power.
• First experience with retrieval augmented generation solutions and/or multi-agent solutions.
• Understanding of the importance of systematic and automated evaluation efforts.
• Understanding of fundamental software engineering best practices, including version control, testing, and deployment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team.
• Curiosity and a genuine passion for AI and a strong interest in its potential applications.

Bonus points for this role:

• If you have any experience with fine-tuning or working with production-ready GraphRAG solutions, that's a plus!
• Familiarity with productionizing AI models and integrating them into user-facing applications is a nice-to-have.
• While not required, exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure, and their AI services, can be beneficial.
• If you have any contributions to open-source AI projects or a portfolio of personal AI projects on GitHub, we'd love to see them!

Whether you are an experienced professional or a motivated starter, if you are passionate about harnessing the power of AI to build groundbreaking products and have some hands-on experience in software engineering, we would love to hear from you. Join our team and help us push the boundaries of what's possible with AI!
