What’s in it for you?
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer who builds production-grade systems in the AI domain. This role is for an engineer who values distributed systems, performance, reliability, and clean architecture—and who is comfortable shipping AI-enabled products as software, not as research. You will design and implement backend services, data pipelines, and platform components that make AI features reliable, observable, secure, and cost-effective in real enterprise environments.

You will collaborate with Product, Platform/Cloud, Security, and (when needed) AI/Applied teams to integrate AI capabilities into real systems—but your focus remains engineering: APIs, services, infrastructure, testing, deployment, and operational excellence.

What’s the scope of this role?

  • Designing, developing, and maintaining scalable back-end systems and APIs used across the organization
  • Building and operating production systems that enable AI features (service orchestration, model gateways, retrieval back-ends, evaluation/telemetry)
  • Leading technical design discussions and using best engineering practices (CI/CD, testing, code quality)
  • Evaluating and adopting AI-domain infrastructure components pragmatically (e.g., inference back-ends, vector search, caching, streaming)
  • Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to a culture of continuous learning and innovation
  • Collaborating with product teams to translate business needs into technical requirements and deliver solutions
  • Ensuring system reliability, performance, and security in compliance with corporate standards

 

What skills and experience will you need for this role?

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong proficiency in Go (preferred) or Java/Python, with deep understanding of distributed systems
  • Proven experience designing and operating high-throughput backend services and public/internal APIs
  • Strong fundamentals in concurrency, networking, databases, and performance tuning
  • Production experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and/or Kubernetes
  • Hands-on expertise with modern engineering practices: micro-services, containers, CI/CD, testing, observability
  • Track record of leading technical initiatives: driving designs, executing projects end-to-end, owning operations
  • Excellent communication and ability to collaborate in a corporate environment

 

What we offer?

  • Competitive salary
  • Health insurance after probation period
  • Work in Telecom projects where would be able learn new technologies and gain new experience
  • More than 300 hard and soft-skills programs by the corporate career development center
  • Open environment and encouraging knowledge sharing culture
  • Hybrid work-mode
