We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to design, build, and operate AI systems that solve real business problems across Finom.

This role is for someone who can move comfortably from prototype to production: shaping the solution, building the system, measuring quality, and improving it over time. You will work on high-impact initiatives across onboarding, customer support, AI accounting, fraud and risk workflows, document understanding, internal automation, and agentic systems used by multiple teams.

This is not a pure research role. It is a hands-on engineering role focused on delivering production-grade AI capabilities that create clear value for customers and the business.

What Success Looks Like

In your first 6 to 12 months, you will:

Become fully embedded in the team and business domains you support

Deliver at least one significant AI capability into production

Generate visible impact through revenue uplift, cost savings, productivity gains, or risk reduction

Raise the technical bar for how Finom builds, evaluates, and operates AI systems

Help other teams adopt AI more effectively through strong engineering practice and pragmatic guidance

Who You Are

A strong software engineer with deep Python experience and a track record of shipping production systems
Comfortable across the full lifecycle: prompting, retrieval, experimentation, evaluation, deployment, and production support
Strong at turning ambiguous business problems into robust technical solutions
Product-minded and focused on real user outcomes, not just model outputs
Autonomous, pragmatic, and able to keep momentum without heavy supervision
Clear in communication and comfortable working across functions
Curious, proactive, low-ego, and biased toward action
Someone who actively keeps up with the fast-moving AI landscape and can separate hype from what is actually useful

Must-Haves

Proven experience building and deploying AI systems in production
Strong Python and software engineering fundamentals
Hands-on experience with LLM applications, including some of: RAG, tool use, agents, prompt engineering, evals, structured outputs, guardrails, or fine-tuning
Experience integrating AI systems into backend or product workflows
Ability to design meaningful evaluation, monitoring, and continuous improvement loops
Experience with cloud infrastructure and containerized deployments
Strong ownership mindset and ability to work through ambiguity
Actively experiments with new AI models, tools, and agentic patterns, and can evaluate which approaches are worth productionizing
Strong grasp of the fast-moving AI landscape, with the ability to turn relevant advances into practical product and engineering decisions
Fluent English

Nice-to-Haves

Experience in fintech, financial services, risk, compliance, or operations-heavy environments
Experience with applied ML beyond LLMs, such as classification, anomaly detection, ranking, or document intelligence
Experience with vector databases, knowledge systems, and retrieval infrastructure
Experience with model benchmarking, experimentation frameworks, and cost or latency optimization at scale
Background in startups or as a founder
Contributions to open-source or visible side projects in AI

Example Tech Stack

You do not need experience with every item, but this role will likely involve technologies such as:

Languages: Python, SQL, noSQL

LLM / AI: OpenAI, Anthropic, LangGraph, Hugging Face, Ollama, PyTorch, OpenClaw

Patterns: RAG, tool calling, agent workflows, eval pipelines

Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS / GCP / Azure

Data / Platform: Vector databases, event-driven systems, APIs, observability tooling
