Senior Deployed AI Engineer

Artefact is looking for a Senior AI & Agentic Engineer: a full-stack engineer who takes AI features from idea to production.

You will design and build the interfaces, services, and agentic systems at the heart of our client work, such as conversational applications over enterprise data, multi-step agents that automate business workflows, and the retrieval and data pipelines that support them. You will own your components end to end: the React front end, the Python or Node service behind it, the RAG pipeline feeding it, and the evaluations proving it works.

This role combines breadth and depth: the ability to take a feature from front end to cloud deployment, together with strong expertise in at least one major AI platform — Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI.

You will work with direct client exposure, and you will support the professional development of the junior engineers around you.

• 3–5 years of experience in software engineering or data engineering, with extensive hands-on use of AI tools and LLM-based development over the past year (professional projects, internal initiatives, or substantial personal builds).
• Strong programming skills in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript, and experience building and consuming APIs.
• Experience with front-end development (React or similar) and at least one backend framework.
• Hands-on experience with RAG, embeddings, and vector search, and with at least one agentic framework (LangGraph/LangChain, Google ADK, Claude Agent SDK, or OpenAI Agents SDK).
• Specialization in at least one major AI platform ecosystem — Google (Gemini, Vertex AI, Gemini Enterprise), Anthropic (Claude, Managed Agents, MCP), or OpenAI (Responses API, AgentKit) — and working experience with one cloud platform (GCP, Azure, or AWS).
• Fluency with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, or Cursor.
• Experience building and maintaining data pipelines.
• Professional English proficiency (C1/C2 minimum) — mandatory. You will work daily with international clients and colleagues.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Certifications A certification on at least one major AI platform or cloud is a strong differentiator at application. If you do not hold one yet, obtaining one within your first 2 months in the role is a requirement — Artefact sponsors the exam and gives you time to prepare.

• Examples: Claude Certified Developer – Foundations (Anthropic), Google Cloud Professional Machine Learning Engineer, Google Cloud Generative AI Leader, Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate, or equivalent AWS credentials.

• Experience with MCP servers, multi-agent patterns, or LLM evaluation tooling (LangSmith, Langfuse, promptfoo).
• Experience with Terraform or CI/CD pipelines.

Key Capabilities A strong candidate will bring:

• Breadth across the full stack, with depth in at least one AI platform
• Owns features end to end, from interface to infrastructure
• Cares about evaluation and reliability, not just the happy path
• Communicates clearly with clients in demos, documents, and code review
• Client-facing mindset: understands client needs and translates business requirements into technical solutions
• Learns new tools and models fast, and shares what works

You will build AI products across the entire stack, from interface to infrastructure.

• Develop user-facing interfaces in TypeScript/React and the backend services and APIs behind them in Python or Node.
• Implement agentic behavior: orchestration, tool and function calling, memory, and guardrails.
• Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines: ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector and hybrid search.
• Connect AI systems to enterprise data and applications via APIs, semantic layers, and protocols such as MCP.

Make AI Systems Production-Grade Our standard is production quality: systems that are reliable, monitored, and maintainable.

• Write evaluation suites and regression tests for LLM-powered features, and monitor cost, latency, and quality in production.
• Apply solid engineering practice: version control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, and observability.
• Deploy on cloud infrastructure (GCP, Azure, or AWS) using containers, serverless, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Build and maintain the data pipelines that feed AI systems, across warehouses, lakehouses, and vector stores.

Work AI-Natively and Client-Facing Our engineers work AI-natively and represent Artefact directly with clients.

• Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor) daily, with good judgment about verification and review.
• Communicate progress, trade-offs, and blockers clearly to clients and project leads.
• Support pre-sales when needed: scope solutions, build demos, and estimate effort with our partnership and consulting teams.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal accelerators, reusable components, and engineering standards.

• Artefact is the place to be: come and build the future of marketing
• Progress: every day offers new challenges and new opportunities to learn
• Culture: join the best team you could ever imagine
• Entrepreneurship: you will be joining a team of driven entrepreneurs. We won’t give up until we make a huge dent in this industry!

Come join us!

• Meal (VR)
• Free Office (work from home or anywhere you want!)
• Gympass
• Insurance: Life, Health, and Dental
• Bi-monthly Meetings (our “Get Together” where we meet to be together, with workshops, lectures, training, and a happy hour!)
• Woba (you can book coworking spaces anywhere you want!)
• Semi-annual evaluations (with opportunities for promotion)
