Robots-&-Pencils-; Bogotá; Presencial; COP 133.920.000 - 200.880.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Robots & Pencils is seeking an AI Engineer/AI Architect to design, build, and scale production-grade AI systems delivering measurable business value. This hands-on technical leadership role requires owning complex AI systems end-to-end, shaping architectural direction, mentoring engineers, and guiding cross-functional teams through experimentation to secure, observable production deployment.

The role emphasizes designing modular architectures, ML pipelines, distributed inference, and LLMOps

Formación

• 5+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering or applied machine learning.
• Proven experience designing and deploying production AI systems.
• Strong software engineering background (Python or similar).
• Experience with distributed systems and scalable data architectures.
• Deep understanding of MLOps, model lifecycle management, and AI infrastructure.
• Experience building and maintaining ML pipelines and automated deployment workflows.
• Strong problem-solving skills and architectural judgment.
• Demonstrated leadership and mentoring experience.
• Excellent communication skills for technical and executive stakeholders.

Responsabilidades

• Define AI system architecture aligned to business objectives and long-term scalability.
• Translate ambiguous AI opportunities into structured technical approaches.
• Design modular, extensible AI platforms supporting experimentation and production workloads.
• Establish architecture decision records (ADRs) and technical documentation standards.
• Lead design and implementation of ML systems, model services, and inference pipelines.
• Build scalable training, evaluation, and deployment workflows.
• Architect data ingestion, feature engineering, and model serving strategies.
• Ensure reliability, observability, and performance optimization of AI systems.
• Design and implement end-to-end AI pipelines and agentic orchestration frameworks.
• Establish LLMOps best practices including CI/CD, prompt versioning, and real-time model observability.
• Optimize distributed inference systems and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) performance.
• Ensure AI infrastructure aligns with security, compliance, and cost-efficiency standards.
• Bridge research and engineering by operationalizing prototypes into production-ready systems.
• Define evaluation metrics, validation processes, and rollout strategies.
• Improve iteration velocity through tooling and automation.
• Mentor junior and mid-level AI engineers.
• Lead code reviews and enforce engineering standards.
• Guide teams in making informed tradeoffs across performance, scalability, cost, and complexity.
• Contribute to shared AI best practices and internal accelerators.
• Partner with product, engineering, and executive stakeholders to shape AI roadmaps.
• Communicate technical strategy and system tradeoffs clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Align AI initiatives with business value and measurable outcomes.
