Europa

IT

Remote

As a specialized recruiting firm, we are hiring on behalf of our client an experienced Tech Lead who will own the technical core of a productive, globally used AI platform.

You will work on a real product, not prototypes.

Your decisions directly impact stability, performance, and user experience in live production.


Your Responsibilities

  • You actively develop production-level code and take overall technical ownership.

  • You provide technical leadership to a small AI team of approximately three to four engineers.

  • You design the architecture for training, inference, and deployment of language models under high load and real-time requirements.

  • You improve context handling, memory mechanisms, retrieval approaches, and response quality.

  • You define and drive fine-tuning and post-training strategies.

  • You build precise moderation and classification solutions for sensitive content.


Your Profile

  • You bring at least 8+ years of experience in software engineering or machine learning.

  • You have been responsible for AI or LLM systems serving several million active users in production.

  • You work confidently with Python, PyTorch, and modern LLM frameworks.

  • You have hands-on experience with fine-tuning, data preparation, and model steering.

  • You are comfortable working in an environment involving adult content within clearly defined safety boundaries.

  • You are based in Europe and can collaborate reliably within European time zones.


Your Benefits

  • Fully remote setup with a long-term perspective.

  • Permanent employment via EoR or alternative contract models possible.

  • Annual salary range of approximately EUR 100,000 to 150,000 depending on experience and setup.

  • 20 days of paid vacation and flexible working arrangements.

  • Budget for professional development, conferences, and learning resources.

  • Modern hardware and access to current AI tools.

  • High degree of autonomy and direct impact on a scalable product.


In the end, you can expect a focused environment with short decision paths, high pace, and real technical ownership — not a corporate structure.

If you want to build systems that operate under real production pressure, we look forward to your application.
