We’re hiring a Senior / Lead AI Engineer to join AytmaTech’s outsourcing pool and lead AI-driven solution development on engagements for international clients. This is a fully remote, contract-based/permanent role focused on building, integrating, and deploying modern AI systems across a variety of business domains and products. Professional English communication (written & spoken) is required.

What you’ll do

* Serve as the primary AI engineering lead on client contract engagements (outsourced/embedded role).
* Design, build, and deploy AI-powered solutions, applications, and automation workflows for client projects.
* Develop and integrate machine learning, generative AI, and LLM-based features into web platforms, internal tools, and business systems.
* Build and optimize AI pipelines for data processing, model inference, evaluation, and monitoring.
* Work with structured and unstructured data sources to prepare datasets, improve quality, and support AI workflows.
* Implement prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, vector search, and agent-based workflows where applicable.
* Collaborate with backend, frontend, product, and business teams to translate requirements into scalable AI solutions.
* Evaluate AI models, tools, APIs, and frameworks to recommend practical and cost-effective implementations.
* Optimize performance, reliability, and operational efficiency of AI systems in production environments.
* Support deployment, testing, monitoring, and troubleshooting of AI-powered applications.
* Create technical documentation, implementation guidelines, and knowledge transfer materials for client teams.
* Provide clear status updates and lead communication with international stakeholders throughout engagements.

Required (must-have)

* 4–7 years of professional experience in software engineering, machine learning, AI engineering, or related roles.
* Strong programming skills in Python and experience building production-grade applications and APIs.
* Hands-on experience working with AI/ML frameworks, LLM APIs, or modern AI tooling ecosystems.
* Experience integrating AI services and models into real-world applications and workflows.
* Strong understanding of prompt engineering, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval systems, and LLM limitations.
* Experience working with data processing, APIs, asynchronous workflows, and backend integrations.
* Familiarity with model evaluation, testing, observability, and performance optimization.
* Understanding of AI security, privacy, reliability, and responsible AI considerations.
* Strong problem-solving skills and ability to balance experimentation with practical delivery.
* Professional English communication (written & spoken) — able to work with international clients and lead cross-functional discussions.
* Availability to take client assignments and embed within client processes.

Nice-to-have

* Experience with frameworks and tools such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face, OpenAI APIs, Ollama, or similar ecosystems.
* Experience building RAG systems, AI copilots, AI agents, or conversational interfaces.
* Experience with vector databases and semantic search technologies.
* Familiarity with cloud platforms and deployment environments for AI workloads.
* Experience with MLOps, model lifecycle management, monitoring, or inference optimization.
* Exposure to fine-tuning, open-source models, or multimodal AI systems.
* Experience with data engineering, analytics, or ETL pipelines.
* Experience working in outsourcing, agency, or embedded-team models.
* Basic frontend/backend development knowledge to support full AI feature integration and troubleshooting.
