Senior Software Engineer - AI & Search
At Squirro, we build solutions that bring structure, clarity, and insight to messy real-world data. Our work sits at the intersection of AI, search, and real business impact — used daily by leading organizations like the Bank of England, Standard Chartered, and the European Central Bank.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Engineering team in EMEA, helping build and scale the next generation of intelligent search and generative AI solutions.
What You’ll Do
Engineer with purpose: Design, implement, and improve search and AI components powering our platform — where performance, scalability, and reliability really matter.
Solve hard problems: Work across NLP, retrieval, generative AI, and distributed systems to build features that make messy data usable and valuable.
Collaborate: Partner closely with product and fellow engineers — turning ideas into concrete solutions that work at scale.
Keep it simple: Bring clarity to complexity. Cut through noise with clean designs, maintainable code, and practical solutions.
Own it: Take responsibility from design to deployment, measuring and improving your work with the right metrics.
What You Bring
Strong experience building and scaling backend systems — ideally search- or data-heavy, and in Python.
Solid knowledge of Elasticsearch (or similar) and distributed systems fundamentals.
Familiarity with NLP techniques, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, or broader AI/ML concepts (or the curiosity to go deep fast).
A pragmatic mindset: you care about results, reliability, and simplicity, not just shiny tech.
Comfort working in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where ideas quickly turn into production.
Why Join Us
Impact: Your work won’t disappear into a pipeline — you’ll see it used by some of the world’s leading organizations.
Growth: Work on cutting-edge problems in AI and search, alongside experienced engineers who value curiosity and learning.
Culture: Agile, startup-like, with quick decision-making and plenty of room to contribute ideas.
Balance: We believe in continuous feedback, lifelong learning, and supporting personal growth.
