This is a remote position.

We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer who will design, prototype, and refine AI agents, orchestration logic, and LLM-driven workflows.

This role combines agent and orchestration design, behaviour engineering, lightweight prototyping, and targeted evaluation, together with a pragmatic level of development capability to deliver functional POCs and reference implementations.

The Senior AI Engineer plays a key technical role in validating how AI-driven solutions should behave before they are handed over to enterprise development teams or integrated into production platforms.

Key Responsibilities

1. Agent & Orchestration Design

  • Design agent behaviours, reasoning flows, interaction patterns, delegation rules, and tool-use strategies.
  • Develop orchestration logic for multi-step, multi-agent, and tool-augmented workflows.
  • Recommend optimal agentic patterns (planner–executor, cooperative agents, routing agents, etc.).
  • Collaborate with AI/IT architects to align designs with overall solution architecture.

2. Prompting & Behaviour Engineering

  • Create and refine prompts, system instructions, behavioural frameworks, validation rules, and safety guidelines.
  • Experiment with prompting techniques to improve consistency and reasoning quality.
  • Contribute to reusable prompt libraries and behavioural templates.
  • Ensure secure prompting practices and promote safe AI usage.

3. Prototyping & Evaluation

  • Build lightweight prototypes and POCs to validate agent logic and orchestration patterns.
  • Compare alternative approaches and document design decisions and constraints.
  • Provide clear recommendations to architects and development teams.

4. Evaluation & Quality Assurance

  • Run structured evaluations (reasoning consistency, tool-use correctness, stability).
  • Identify hallucinations, edge cases, and failure patterns; propose improvements.
  • Prepare focused test scenarios and interpret results.
  • Recommend improvements to prompts, agent logic, retrieval, and interaction design.

5. RAG/CAG Prototype Development

  • Build early-stage RAG/CAG pipelines focusing on:
    • Retrieval relevance
    • Chunking logic
    • Embedding strategies
    • Context assembly
  • Evaluate retrieval quality for production architecture decisions.

6. Engineering Partnership

  • Collaborate with engineers to validate feasibility and maintainability.
  • Develop minimal prototype code and reference implementations.
  • Focus on validation and enablement rather than full application development.

7. Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

  • Work with architects, engineers, and business teams.
  • Share best practices in agent design, prompting, and orchestration.
  • Support adoption of LLM-based solutions.

8. Continuous Learning

  • Track trends in agentic architectures and evaluation methods.
  • Help define internal standards and reusable design patterns.
  • Contribute to team capability building.


Requirements


Technical Skills

  • Strong experience with AI agents, orchestration flows, and multi-step reasoning.
  • Hands-on prototyping experience (Python, Node.js, notebooks, sandbox tools).
  • Familiarity with frameworks (Semantic Kernel, LangChain, AutoGen, etc.).
  • Solid prompt engineering expertise.
  • Understanding of RAG/CAG and vector search.
  • Experience with testing, evaluation, and result interpretation.
  • Knowledge of AI security, privacy, and risk considerations.
  • Optional: Azure AI services experience.

Soft Skills

  • Strong analytical and conceptual thinking.
  • Clear communication and collaboration skills.
  • Curiosity and comfort with exploratory work.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with multi-agent systems.
  • Background in POCs or experimental architectures.
  • Cloud-native AI experience.
  • Integration into data/document platforms.
  • Experience with automation or event-driven systems.
  • English & Czech proficiency.
