About the role

As a Senior AI Engineer at Futurice, you'll be part of our growing AI & Data team, designing and building the intelligent applications and workflows that sit at the heart of our client work. You'll be shaping solutions, advising clients, and helping define how Futurice builds and delivers AI 'll work across the full lifecycle: from early-stage ideation and proposals through to building and deploying production-quality, cloud-native GenAI applications for clients across industries like media, retail, and automotive.

You'll also mentor junior engineers and make meaningful contributions to our internal AI practices.

Skills & Requirements

What we're looking for:

5+ years of hands-on experience – in AI or applied data-intensive software engineering, or equivalent experience. A track record of taking projects from idea to production is what matters most.

Proficiency in Python – You write clean, maintainable, production-quality code. You have experience taking systems from idea to production and keeping them running.

Modern GenAI tooling – You have hands-on experience with libraries and tools like Pinecone, Hugging Face, Lang Chain/Lang Smith, or CrewAI, and you know how to pick the right tool for the job.

Understanding of agentic architectures – You're comfortable designing systems involving tool use, orchestration, evaluation, and multi-agent patterns, and you understand the trade-offs involved.

Experience with RAG systems – You have a solid understanding of retrieval-augmented generation systems and pipelines, and you've built them in real-world contexts.

Cloud platform experience – You're experienced with at least one of Azure, AWS, or GCP, and comfortable deploying and maintaining systems in production.

Interest in client-facing work – You enjoy the full picture. You're as happy in a client workshop or contributing to a proposal as you are building. You can explain complex ideas clearly and build trust with clients.

Curiosity over ego – You approach disagreement with empathy, learn from feedback, and care more about getting things right than being right.

You don't need experience in everything in the world of GenAI, we know it moves fast. We're looking for people who are strong in a few areas and take the initiative to grow in others. Tell us what you've been exploring lately!

What you'll doIn this role, you will:

Design and build cutting-edge AI applications – from MCP servers and voice-to-voice real-time apps to RAG bots and multi-agent systems. You'll work on technology that's genuinely new territory.

Advise clients on AI strategy – join workshops, contribute to proposals, and help clients understand what's possible and what's right for them. You'll be a trusted voice in conversations with clients, shaping direction alongside them.

Build demos and PoCs – fast, purposeful, and client-ready. You know how to show something compelling without over-engineering it.

Mentor junior engineers – share knowledge, review code thoughtfully, and help grow the team around you.

Shape our AI practice – contribute to shared tools, frameworks, and ways of working. How Futurice delivers AI is something we build together.
