[Hiring] Senior AI Engineer @Shopfully

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join our Engineering team as a founding member of a new, high-impact venture. This is a "greenfield" role: you’ll be the first hire for a brand-new AI-powered application within our ecosystem, centered around conversational and agentic interfaces. You won't just be adding features; you'll be designing the system, making core architectural decisions, and reporting directly to the Engineering Director. As the team scales, you’ll play a central role in hiring, shaping the culture, and setting engineering standards from day one. If you are a builder who thrives in ambiguity and is excited to turn the latest AI advancements into a product used by millions, this role is for you!

What You Will Do

• Lead the development of a new AI-powered product, from initial architecture to production-ready code.
• Design and build sophisticated conversational experiences and agentic workflows that solve real shopper needs.
• Own the full-stack lifecycle, ensuring seamless integration between LLM capabilities, backend logic, and frontend interfaces.
• Set the bar for AI engineering standards, including RAG patterns, prompt engineering, and model orchestration.
• Shape the future team by participating in hiring and mentoring as the project expands.
• Collaborate directly with leadership to influence product strategy and technical roadmap.
• Implement "AI-first" development workflows, leveraging tools like Claude Code to accelerate delivery.

Qualifications

• Proven experience building AI-powered products (conversational UIs, agentic systems, or LLM applications).
• Strong Full-Stack skills: you are comfortable owning the entire stack to get a product off the ground.
• Deep AI/ML Tooling knowledge: expert-level familiarity with LLMs, RAG, agents, and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, CrewAI, etc.).
• A Product Mindset: you care about user impact and business value, not just the elegance of the code.
• Comfort with Ambiguity: you excel in greenfield environments where the path isn't always paved.
• Growth Mindset: you seek feedback, learn loudly, and are eager to continuously improve.
• Fluent in English: you’ll be working in a global, distributed environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with the AWS stack and serverless architectures.
• DevOps skills: familiarity with deploying and monitoring AI applications at scale.
• Prior experience in e-commerce or high-traffic consumer-facing products.
• Experience in early-stage startups or "vanguard" teams within larger orgs.

Salary Range

€80,000 – €100,000 fixed gross salary per year.

Location

While we have offices all around the world, you can benefit from our flexible hybrid model, empowering you to work where you’re most effective in Europe. Full remote available.

• We champion autonomy, flexibility, and a hybrid work model, empowering you to own your work.
• Access to learning opportunities and regular feedback sessions.
• Enjoy our central, modern offices featuring fresh snacks, coffee (including vegan options!), and ergonomic setups.
• Engage in meaningful team events: offsites, happy hours, company parties and celebrations that unite us beyond daily tasks.
• We provide all the necessary equipment for you to work effectively and set up your workspace, wherever you are.
• Benefit from additional country-specific advantages based on local contracts and practices.
