Job summary

bunch is building the backbone of private markets and is hiring a Senior Applied AI Engineer for the AI Platform team in Portugal. You will design and own end-to-end AI-driven fund-operations workflows, moving AI from prototype to production with strong emphasis on observability, cost, latency, and regional data residency.

You will lead multi-agent design, tool contracts, and memory management while mentoring others.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building production software with end-to-end ownership of agents or LLM-powered capabilities.
• Experience with orchestration, context engineering (RAG), and multi-agent design.
• Ability to read traces, diagnose failures, manage latency and cost.

Responsibilities

• Design and own autonomous fund-operations workflows as production-capable agents.
• Develop evaluation layers with real-data test cases and regression suites.
• Ensure observability, cost tracking, latency targets, and failover in EU data residency.

Job description

Описание

bunch is building the backbone of private markets. We are enabling next-gen fund operations with one integrated system that combines secure data infrastructure, AI-powered workflows and expert fund services. If you value ownership, growth through real responsibility, and working with a thoughtful, ambitious team, this role might be for you. Your Role As a Senior Applied AI Engineer on our AI Platform team, you take AI at bunch from working to relied upon.

Задачи

Design agents that automate real fund-operations workflows, and own them from prototype through production and after. Build the evaluation layer: test cases built from real documents with the output we expect, regression suites in CI, human review where correctness is non-negotiable, and clear success criteria for an agent completing a complex task end to end. Then move the numbers that matter — accuracy, latency, cost. Own the AI application architecture. Orchestration and multi-agent design, tool contracts, memory, and context engineering (RAG, MCP) with clear domain boundaries — plus the guardrails, approvals, and human-in-the-loop controls that anything touching investor money requires. Versioned, feature-flagged rollout of agent versions; rate limits, provider fallback, and regional failover within EU data residency; and the observability to trace a failure across services and turn it into a fix rather than a theory. Document parsing and extraction consolidates into this team, and shared evaluation and observability become something other teams consume rather than rebuild. You set the patterns other engineers inherit, partner closely with DevX, and mentor engineers across teams on agent and LLM practice. Review our MCP offering end to end and ship it to the first customers, with the access boundaries, evaluation and observability a customer-facing surface needs. Stand up shared observability for our AI workloads — token usage, estimated cost, latency, failures and retries per provider — on a dashboard people actually open during an incident. Publish v1 of our agent patterns (domain boundaries, tool contracts, prompt and eval conventions), reviewed with DevX and adopted by at least one team outside AI Platform.

Требования

5+ years building production software, including at least one agent or LLM-powered capability you took end to end and still owned once it was live real depth in orchestration and context engineering — tool contracts, memory, RAG, multi-agent design — with Mastra, ai-sdk, LangGraph or similar. You've integrated agents into a real product and its authorization model, not built prototypes for someone else to productionise you know how to make a non-deterministic system measurable, from test cases built on real data to regression suites and human review, and you can tell the difference between a model that improved and a benchmark that got easier you own what you ship. Reading traces, diagnosing failure modes, tuning cost and latency, handling provider rate limits and fallback without drama You have experience with TypeScript and/or Python. you build for other engineers as much as for end users, and the standards you set get adopted because people trust you, not because they are written down you start from the business outcome, choose the deterministic solution when it's the right one, and know when good enough is good enough Будет плюсом: Experience in fintech, private markets, or another regulated, document-heavy domain is a plus, as is working under EU data-residency constraints
