Senior AI Engineer (AI-Native)

Overview

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to play a key role in building and integrating AI capabilities into a large-scale Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform. This role is ideal for someone who is “AI-native”, comfortable designing, building, and deploying systems where AI is a core component rather than an add-on.

You will work on developing intelligent tooling, automating operational workflows, and embedding advanced AI models (with a preference for systems like Claude) into platform services.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build AI-driven tools as part of a broader NaaS platform architecture
• Develop and integrate LLM-based solutions (e.g., Claude or equivalent) into production systems
• Create AI-powered runbooks to automate operational processes and incident response
• Translate complex operational and network workflows into AI-assisted or fully automated systems
• Collaborate with platform, network, and product teams to embed AI capabilities across services
• Build scalable backend services and APIs using Python
• Evaluate and implement best practices for prompt engineering, orchestration, and model usage
• Ensure reliability, observability, and performance of AI systems in production

Required Skills & Experience

• Senior-level experience in AI/ML engineering or applied AI systems
• Strong proficiency in Python
• Proven experience working with Claude Code and LLMs
• Familiarity with AI-native development approaches
• Experience building AI-powered automation or runbooks
• Solid understanding of system design, APIs, and scalable architectures
• Experience integrating AI into existing platforms or complex systems
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
