Job Description

Are you passionate about AI and eager to drive innovation in a dynamic and impact-driven environment? Do you have experience in developing AI-powered applications and do you enjoy mentoring others? If so, we invite you to join Nexthink as a Senior AI Engineer!

As a senior member of the AI team, you will prototype, develop, and deploy AI-powered capabilities within the Nexthink cloud platform. You will lead architectural decisions, establish best practices, and ensure that AI systems are scalable, observable, and production-ready.

Responsibilities

AI Engineering & Architecture

Design, develop, and operate production-quality AI/ML systems, including LLM-powered applications, NLP models, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent systems

Make key architectural decisions regarding model selection, training strategies, fine-tuning, retrieval mechanisms, orchestration layers, and infrastructure

Integrate external AI services (e.g., LLM providers) into the Nexthink cloud platform

Solve engineering challenges related to data collection, retrieval, evaluation, inference, latency, and cost optimization

AI Done Well - Evaluation & Quality

Define robust online and offline evaluation frameworks as well as success metrics

Implement dashboards and monitoring systems to track quality and detect regressions in production

Design automated evaluation pipelines for prompts, embeddings, models, and agent workflows

Ensure observability and reliability of AI systems at scale

MLOps & Cloud Engineering

Implement and maintain reproducible ML pipelines and CI/CD workflows for AI components

Manage the deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle of AI models and artifacts in production

Optimize systems for scalability, performance, throughput, and cost

Work with AWS (or equivalent cloud platforms), Docker, and orchestration frameworks (Kubernetes/ECS)

Product & Cross-functional Collaboration

Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, software engineers, and data scientists

Translate ambiguous product requirements into incremental and testable engineering plans

Proactively propose new AI capabilities based on user insights and technological advancements

Clearly communicate complex AI concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Leadership & Mentoring

Mentor and coach junior AI engineers on production best practices

Establish engineering standards and AI best practices within the team

Foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and knowledge sharing

Qualifications

Bachelor's/Master's in computer science, machine learning, data science, or a related field.

More than 5 years of professional experience in software engineering, including production deployment and operation of cloud services

Hands-on experience in production applications powered by LLM or ML/NLP applications.

Proficiency in Python and AI frameworks

Good understanding of machine learning fundamentals (supervised/unsupervised learning, optimization, model evaluation).

Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals (training, optimization, evaluation)

Experience with NLP systems (embeddings, semantic search, retrieval systems, text classification, etc.)

Experience in integrating and operating LLMs (prompting, evaluation, observability, RAG, agentic workflows)

Hands-on experience in MLOps: reproducible pipelines, experiment tracking, automated evaluation, CI/CD for models and prompts

Knowledge of reinforcement learning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-agent AI architectures.

Good data intuition: ability to inspect logs, design metrics, and quickly identify regressions

Proven experience with AWS and cloud-based AI deployments.

Excellent communication skills in English, capable of explaining complex AI concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
