Hybrid work model

Job summary

EPAM Systems in Poland seeks a Senior AI-Native Engineer to design AI-first software with autonomous agents and LLM-powered components. You will architect AI-driven systems, integrate models into production, and craft robust orchestration across teams in a hybrid setup.

The role emphasizes AI-first thinking, prompt engineering, and collaboration with product managers, data engineers, and platform architects to deliver scalable AI-native solutions.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience focused on AI-powered systems.
• Hands-on experience in AI Agents development or LLM integration.
• Experience with AI orchestration frameworks such as Spring AI or LangChain4J.
• Strong Prompt Engineering skills for reliable production behavior.
• Proficiency in Python for AI/ML prototyping and scripting.
• Hands-on experience with AWS or GCP cloud platforms for AI/ML workloads.
• Experience embedding AI into the SDLC and using AI copilots.
• Strong system design skills for combining traditional services with autonomous AI.
• Excellent communication in international Agile teams; English fluency (B2+).
• Nice to have retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and vector DB familiarity.

Responsibilities

• Architect and develop AI-native applications where intelligent agents and LLM-powered components serve as foundational building blocks.
• Design and implement multi-agent systems capable of autonomous reasoning, planning, tool selection, and execution of complex workflows.
• Integrate Large Language Models into production environments, ensuring reliability, observability, and graceful degradation.
• Embed AI throughout the software development lifecycle — from AI-assisted design and code generation to intelligent testing, review, and deployment automation.
• Develop orchestration layers that manage agent communication, memory, context windows, and task delegation.
• Craft and iterate on prompt engineering strategies to drive consistent, high-quality model outputs across diverse use cases.
• Evaluate and benchmark emerging AI models, frameworks, and agent platforms to inform technology decisions.
• Design feedback loops, guardrails, and evaluation mechanisms to ensure AI system safety, accuracy, and alignment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including product managers, data engineers, and platform architects — to deliver AI-driven solutions at scale.
• Contribute to the creation of internal standards, reference architectures, and reusable patterns for AI-native development.
• Mentor engineers across teams on agentic design patterns, LLM integration best practices, and AI-first thinking.
• Continuously monitor the evolving AI landscape and translate emerging research into practical engineering approaches.
