Mid AI Engineer (LLM)

Location: Poland

Contract: B2B

Salary: 22.000 - 25.000 PLN net B2B

How this role works:

You will start by building the system as part of our team, working in a focused, greenfield setup. After a few months of introduction to the project, you will seamlessly continue working on the same product directly with the client, becoming part of the client’s team responsible for its long-term development and scaling. There is no handover phase and no context switching - you stay with the same codebase, product, and technical challenges, while gaining long-term ownership and impact.

What you’ll work on:

• Designing, implementing, and deploying end-to-end NLP and deep learning systems

• Building LLM-powered applications that interact with real users

• Developing and maintaining production Python services

• Exposing models and pipelines via REST APIs (FastAPI, Flask)

• Working on retrieval models and techniques (RAG, embeddings, ranking)

• Evaluating, monitoring, and continuously improving model and system quality

• Scaling systems to handle enormous volumes of requests
  

Biggest challenges in this role:

• Greenfield project built from scratch

• High-scale, user-facing systems with strict performance and reliability requirements

• Designing systems meant for long-term ownership, not short-term delivery

• Balancing model quality, latency, and cost in production LLM systems

What you’ll learn:

• How to build LLM-powered products from scratch and take them to production

• Proven approaches to running LLMs in production at scale

• How to design, evaluate, and evolve NLP systems used by real users

• Best practices for production ML and AI system architecture
  

What you’ll get to try and experiment with:

• End-to-end ownership of LLM-based systems

• Optimizing retrieval models, RAG pipelines, and inference workflows

• Experimenting with different LLMs, prompting strategies, and system designs

• Solving performance and reliability challenges under heavy traffic

Core requirements:

• At least 1 year of experience working with NLP / LLM systems in production

• Experience contributing to production ML or AI services

• Proven experience designing and deploying end-to-end NLP and deep learning solutions in production environments

• Hands-on experience building LLM-powered production systems (e.g. GPT, Claude, Gemini), including prompt engineering, evaluation, fine-tuning, and user-facing integrations

• Python proficiency with experience building and maintaining reliable production services and data pipelines

• Strong software engineering mindset, including code quality, testing, scalability, and production deployments

• Experience building RESTful APIs (FastAPI, Flask) to expose ML/LLM capabilities

• Curiosity and commitment to continuous learning in the NLP/LLM/AI space

• Collaborative team-player with strong communication skills

• Eagerness to learn and grow in a fast-moving environment

You will earn extra points for experience with:

• PyTorch, Hugging Face, and modern ML tooling for training and inference

• MLOps practices and tooling

• RAG systems, vector databases, and retrieval optimization

• multiple LLM providers or open-source models

• high-traffic, high-availability systems

We want to offer you:

• Work with an experienced team that continually shares knowledge and is not afraid of testing new solutions

• Remote-first work with flexible hours

• Possibility to use one of our 2 offices in Poland (Warsaw or Szczecin), or book a Regus coworking space in your city

• Individual work tools – Macbook Pro, Dell screen, JBL headphones? You can tailor the equipment to your needs

• Sport & wellness benefit (Kafeteria MyBenefit)

• Private medical care

• A comprehensive benefits package after transitioning to our partner, including employee benefits, training opportunities, and occasional bonuses
