Senior AI Engineer

Summary

At Remote Crew, we're partnering with a VC-backed compliance tech startup building an agentic platform for financial services. We're looking for a Senior AI Engineer to own the data pipelines, context systems, and multi-agent infrastructure that power real-time business identity verification for banks and fintechs. You'll take AI functionality from prototype to production, and help set the engineering standards the team builds on.

Salary: €60k-80k / year

Location: Porto - Hybrid (2 days / week)

What You'll Do

• Own the data pipelines that turn register data and web content into structured, audited data with strong quality checks
• Build the context management layer that decides what your agents and LLMs see, balancing relevance, token budgets, memory, and cost
• Build agent harnesses: the agent loop, tool calling, context assembly, guardrails, and tracing
• Design multi-agent and autonomous agent systems, including agent-to-agent interfaces
• Develop evaluation pipelines and production metrics for LLM and data quality
• Harden LLM integrations in production with fallbacks, rate limiting, caching, cost tracking, and observability
• Set up MLOps practices: CI/CD for ML components, versioning of prompts, models, and datasets, safe rollouts
• Work closely with ML and backend engineers to turn prototypes into reliable production services
• Define standards, processes, and tooling for AI and data practices across the team
• Ship code frequently and iterate based on feedback while meeting strict security and uptime requirements

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a software, data, or ML engineer in product-centric settings
• Production-level Python experience building backend services and APIs
• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs in production, including handling context windows, cost, latency, and non-determinism
• Experience building agent harnesses or multi-agent, autonomous, agent-to-agent systems in production
• Experience setting up evaluation and metrics for AI systems, and using them to drive real decisions
• Familiarity with MLOps practices, containers, CI/CD, and at least one major cloud platform

Nice to Have

• Experience self-hosting open-weight models
• Advanced MLOps tooling experience: dataset versioning, safe rollout practices
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field

Why Work With Us

• Shape the engineering culture and technical standards of an early-stage, well-funded startup from the ground up
• Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and MMC Ventures
• Build agentic AI systems used by regulated fintechs like Wise, Tide, Mollie, Shift4, Flatpay, and myPOS
• Join a team of engineers and operators from Revolut, Meta, Block, SumUp, American Express, Yandex, and OakNorth
• Own a role that spans ML, backend, and DevOps, not boxed into one narrow function

If you want to build the foundations that make AI products reliable and fast to iterate on, we'd love to hear from you.
