Expert AI Engineer

Ciklum is looking for an Expert AI Engineer to join our team full-time in Poland.
We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.
About the role:
As an Expert AI Engineer, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.
Responsibilities:
Embed into product teams and work 1:1 with senior engineers on real tasks
Co-develop and refine ways of using AI in everyday engineering workflows
Help teams adopt “agentic” ways of working through practical application, not just guidance
Start with one developer per team (phased rollout, not all teams at once
Primarily focus on developers, with potential to expand support to QA, BA, and DevOps over time
Use and adapt to the approved internal toolset (e.g. Kiro, potentially Claude), ensuring compliance with TUI standards
Collaborate with internal AI/innovation teams to address tooling gaps or improvement opportunities
What Success Looks Like
Engineers are actively using AI in their daily work in a meaningful way
AI is embedded into real development tasks (not just experimentation or training)
Teams become more efficient through practical AI adoption
Clear, reusable patterns for AI-supported development start to emerge
Requirements:
We know that sometimes, you can’t tick every box. We would still love to hear from you if
you think you’re a good fit!
General technical requirements:
8+ years of professional experience in software, data, or AI engineering, including at least 3–4 years of hands-on experience designing and implementing AI/ML solutions
BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field
Deep understanding of probability, statistics, and the mathematical foundations of machine learning and optimization
Proven experience building and deploying advanced AI systems, including Large
Language Models (LLMs), multimodal, and generative AI architectures
Exposure to agentic system design, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and prompt engineering techniques
Strong proficiency in Python and experience with AI/ML development frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, Hugging Face or equivalent), with awareness that production environments may also rely on Java and/or Node.js depending on the team’s technology stack
Familiarity with both AI development tooling and backend/service-side technologies is beneficial, as the role may span model development and integration into existing systems
Solid understanding of modern AI engineering practices, including model lifecycle management, observability, evaluation, versioning and continuous improvement
Familiarity with AI solution delivery methodologies (e.g., CRISP-ML(Q), TDSP or modern agile ML lifecycles)
Ability to visualize, interpret, and communicate model outputs and insights effectively using modern tools and dashboards
Specific technical requirements:
Proven experience in architecting and implementing end-to-end AI/ML solutions - from data ingestion and model training to deployment, monitoring and optimization
Strong software engineering skills for AI system development, including data processing, API integration, and model serving (Python, SQL and optionally Java/Scala or similar)
Hands-on experience with cloud-native AI platforms and services (AWS SageMaker,
Azure ML, GCP Vertex AI or NVIDIA AI stack) - AWS as primary
Proficiency in designing scalable ML/LLM pipelines and applying MLOps/LLMOps best practices (CI/CD, orchestration, monitoring, versioning, and deployment automation)
Experience with diverse data modalities (structured, text, image, audio, video) and multimodal model integration
Familiarity with handling complex data scenarios such as class imbalance, time-series forecasting and anomaly detection
Understanding of security, data governance and compliance considerations in AI system design
Domain experience:
Broad exposure to enterprise-scale AI solution design across industries such as BFSI, Healthcare, Aerospace, Manufacturing, Energy, Telecom or Technology sectors
Proven ability to translate business and operational requirements into robust AI system architectures that deliver measurable impact
Familiarity with challenges of deploying AI in regulated environments and ensuring compliance with data privacy and protection frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, PCI, DSS)
Experience managing sensitive or high-value data (PII, PHI), implementing strong security, governance and access control mechanisms
Understanding of enterprise data ecosystems and integration patterns (CRM, ERP, knowledge management or workflow systems)
Business-related requirements:
Proven experience delivering production-grade AI solutions that achieve measurable business and operational outcomes
Strong ownership of the full AI engineering lifecycle — from problem framing and architecture design to deployment, optimization, and continuous improvement
Ability to align technical decisions with business priorities, ensuring scalability, reliability, and measurable value from AI initiatives
Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional stakeholders, delivery teams, and clients
High degree of autonomy, accountability, and attention to detail in managing complex, multi-component AI systems
What`s in it for you?
Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment
Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise
Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications
Endless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies
Flexibility: Enjoy flexibility – full remote working possibilities
Care: We’ve got you covered with company-paid medical insurance, mental health support, and financial & legal consultations
