What You Will Do

• Implement end-to-end AI features, including Computer Vision (detection/recognition pipelines, image preprocessing, evaluation, inference integration), NLP/Transformers (text classification, extraction, summarization, embeddings-based workflows), and RAG/semantic search (ingestion, chunking, embeddings, retrieval, answer generation).
• Improve retrieval quality using two-stage search (vector retrieval + reranking with cross-encoders/rerankers) when relevant to projects.
• Work with vector search and vector databases in local (Docker) and cloud setups (e.g., OpenSearch vector search, Azure AI Search hybrid/vector search).
• Build and maintain Python backend APIs (FastAPI/Django) for reliable AI pipeline serving, including auth integration, error handling, and basic performance considerations.
• Package solutions with Docker, assist with cloud deployments, and support debugging across dev, stage, and production environments.
• Collaborate effectively with software engineers, data engineers, and consultants to deliver solutions within real project timelines.

Requirements

• 2+ years of Python development or equivalent strong practical experience in shipping working backend services.
• Hands-on experience building at least two of the following: Computer Vision pipeline, NLP/Transformer-based pipeline, or RAG/semantic search pipeline.
• Familiarity with embeddings and vector search concepts (indexes, filtering/metadata, similarity search).
• Comfort with Docker, Git, and Linux basics (running services locally, troubleshooting dependencies).
• Possess a practical mindset, able to translate requirements into implementable pipelines and iterate quickly.
• Upper-intermediate English proficiency.
• Experience with IaaS cloud solutions (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), cross-encoders as rerankers, OpenSearch vector search, Azure AI Search hybrid retrieval, semantic reranking, or basic ML serving/performance awareness is a plus.

Benefits

• Annual performance and salary reviews, supporting fast professional growth.
• Access to internal and external training programs.
• Flexible working hours and locations.
• Comprehensive local benefits package.
• Engaging team and company events.
• Annual international offsite trips to sunny locations with the entire European team.
• Opportunity to work in young, active, and bright international teams.
