Meltwater development teams take full ownership of their subsystems and infrastructure, including running on-call rotations. With a heavy reliance Software Engineer in AI/ML and Data Science. We seek individuals with experience in Cloud infrastructure and containerization, Docker, Azure or AWS is required (Azure is preferred). Data Preparation, model Lifecycle (training, serving and registries) & Natural language Processing (NLP) and LLMs. In this role, youll have the opportunity to push the boundaries of our technology stack, from modifying open-source libraries to innovating with existing technologies. If youre passionate about distributed systems at scale and finding new ways to extract insights from vast amounts of data, we invite you to join us in this exciting journey.
What Youll Do:
As an AI Engineer on our team, you will take ownership of end-to-end AI solution delivery, from initial concept through production deployment and ongoing optimization. Youll architect and implement LLM-powered applications & enrichments, multi-agent workflows, and autonomous AI systems that directly impact our users experiences. Your work will involve orchestrating large language models, building sophisticated prompt engineering frameworks and fine-tuning, as well as creating robust RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems using vector databases and semantic search technologies.
Youll be responsible for deploying and operating these LLM applications at scale, ensuring they perform reliably in production environments. This includes containerizing AI services, implementing deployment pipelines for rapid iteration, and establishing monitoring systems that track both performance metrics and AI-specific indicators like response quality, hallucination rates, and autonomous decision accuracy.
Your role encompasses ensuring our AI systems are production-ready and enterprise-grade. Youll manage the infrastructure that powers our AI applications, optimize for both performance and cost-effectiveness, establishing automated evaluation frameworks for LLM applications, and build robust fallback mechanisms. Youll ensure our AI systems meet security and compliance requirements while maintaining the ability to rapidly iterate and improve AI capabilities based on user feedback and performance data.
