This position suits software engineers with a background in building production-ready applications, LLM workflows, and backend solutions.

Role Overview

The Applied AI Engineer position focuses on developing functional artificial intelligence applications rather than conducting theoretical research.

Develop integrations linking large language models with internal data, application programming interfaces, documents, knowledge bases, and business systems.
Design evaluation, fallback flows, and monitoring to ensure artificial intelligence outputs remain safe, reliable, and useful.
Prototype rapidly, conduct testing with operators or users, and productionize successful concepts.
Enhance speed, consistency, and quality across operational workflows through targeted artificial intelligence integration.

Requirements

Possess a strong software engineering foundation, preferably featuring Python and backend systems experience.
Demonstrate hands-on experience building with LLM application programming interfaces, RAG, agents, workflow automation, or related tools.
Connect artificial intelligence systems directly to real operational, data, and product workflows.
Exercise good judgment regarding when artificial intelligence is appropriate versus rule-based systems or human review.
Understand accuracy, evaluation, latency, cost, privacy, and failure modes.
Build quickly while prototyping, testing, and shipping practical systems.
Communicate fluently in English, the primary working language.
Reside in Portugal.
