The AI Engineer role focuses on rapidly transforming bold ideas into working AI-driven prototypes that demonstrate real impact. Acting at the 0→1 stage, you’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and customers to build functional demos and solutions that drive decision-making and product direction.
Beyond coding, you’ll take full ownership — from defining ambiguous problems to delivering tangible outcomes — applying strong product thinking and technical execution. You’ll design and implement AI systems, data flows, and LLM-powered experiences with speed, creativity, and precision.
Ideal candidates thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional environments, combining engineering excellence, prototype velocity, and user empathy. Experience with LLMs, rapid prototyping, and end-to-end product development is essential; machine learning, startup, or R&D backgrounds are strong pluses.
3 month contract.
