Обязанности
- Our client is a European technology company operating a cloud and infrastructure platform, and we are looking for an AI Engineering Manager to lead the small, high-leverage team behind their AI product.
- This team owns the full stack that makes the product work from model serving and inference infrastructure to the AI platform and application layer that users interact with.
- You will combine leadership and technical depth, leading a team of 3 engineers , setting direction, and staying hands-on with production-grade code (~50%). With a team this size, your own output matters as much as your judgment: this is a player-coach role for a technical leader who can make strategic decisions, guide architecture, and ship reliable, cost-efficient AI systems at scale.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a small, high-performing team of engineers focused on AI platform and product engineering
- Drive architectural direction for the AI product with an emphasis on inference performance, reliability, cost efficiency, and developer experience
- Contribute hands-on to design, implementation, and optimization of core AI systems (model serving, inference pipelines, retrieval, orchestration, evaluation)
- Own the AI/ML platform end to end: GPU capacity and scheduling, model deployment and versioning, data and embedding pipelines, monitoring and quality evaluation
- Collaborate closely with Product, Infrastructure, Security, and Backend teams to define priorities and ensure smooth integrations
- Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and technical coaching
- Foster a culture of ownership, engineering excellence, and continuous improvement
- Translate strategic objectives into actionable execution plans and ensure timely delivery
- Influence the evolution of the AI platform with pragmatic, forward-looking technical decisions
- Champion best practices across software development, automation, evaluation, and operational excellence
Требования
- 7+ years of experience in software engineering, including 2+ years in a technical leadership or engineering management role
- Proven experience building and operating AI/ML platform or inference infrastructure in production (model serving, GPU workloads, latency and cost optimization)
- Solid experience building distributed backend systems, strong Python, plus a systems language (Go, Rust, or similar) is a plus
- Hands-on familiarity with the modern LLM stack: model APIs and open-weight models, serving frameworks (vLLM, TGI, Triton or similar), retrieval/vector databases, and prompt or context engineering
- Strong grasp of AI product quality: evaluation frameworks, benchmarking, regression testing, and observability for non-deterministic systems
- Strong expertise in cloud platforms (AWS preferred: EC2, ECS, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch) and GPU compute
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, containerization, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CDK)
- Understanding of CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar)
- Strong knowledge of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and monitoring/alerting best practices
- Excellent communication and leadership skills, able to guide performance, set expectations, and motivate engineers
- Strong technical judgment and the ability to balance hands-on coding with people and strategic responsibilities
