Descripción de la vacante

Finom is seeking a Lead AI Engineer to build and operate production-grade AI services across the platform, guiding a hands-on team of engineers from architecture to deployment. You will own end-to-end AI systems, drive platform decisions, and partner with product and domain teams to ship real value to European customers.

You will lead architecture, governance, and evaluation pipelines while maintaining focus on latency, security, and observability, influencing roadmap and cross-team

Formación

• Proven experience leading a team of engineers, with accountability for delivery.

Responsabilidades

• Lead a team of AI engineers — set direction, review designs, and grow their technical scope through review, pairing, and design guidance
• Own the architecture for the services you and your team develop — and write down the decisions, tradeoffs, and rejected alternatives so they can be reviewed and challenged
• Build and ship AI-powered customer and internal solutions using LLMs, RAG, tool calling, workflows, and agentic patterns
• Own AI systems end to end — problem framing, implementation, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration
• Develop scalable and reliable inference pipelines with strong attention to latency, cost, security, and observability
• Set the evaluation and quality bar — offline evals, online signals, failure analysis, and continuous improvement loops that other teams adopt rather than renegotiate per project
• Design AI systems with auditability, model governance, and EU AI Act obligations built in from the start rather than retrofitted
• Drive AI platform and tooling decisions that improve reuse, speed, and consistency across teams
• Partner with solution managers, domain teams, and engineers to integrate AI into real workflows rather than isolated demos
• Tell a product stakeholder when the thing they asked for is the wrong solution, and be persuasive about the right one
• Negotiate scope and sequencing with domain teams that have their own roadmaps and no obligation to yours
• Decide what to stop doing — deprecate, simplify, or kill approaches that the evidence no longer supports
• Shape the roadmap rather than only execute tickets
