AI platform engineer

We are looking for an experienced Senior AI Platform Engineer to join our team and help build and scale an AI-powered engineering platform. Your mission will be to transform and optimize the entire software development life cycle (SDLC) — from requirements definition and design to implementation, testing and production. We are looking for an autonomous and proactive professional who can take ownership of complex technical challenges, evaluate solutions and lead implementation independently. Hands-on, proven experience putting AI agents into real production is essential (experience limited to PoCs or theoretical concepts will not be sufficient).

• Design and build agent-based development workflows, tools and automations throughout the entire software life cycle.
• Develop and integrate AI agents, covering orchestration, tool use, MCP servers and context engineering.
• Implement evaluation frameworks, guardrails and quality checks to ensure reliable agent responses and outputs.
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation and tools for the engineering team.
• Connect AI-driven workflows to enterprise systems such as Jira, version control systems and CI platforms.
• Improve engineering efficiency, reliability and the overall development experience (Developer Experience).

• At least 8+ years of experience in Software Engineering, including senior-level or technical leadership roles.
• Proven track record of developing and deploying AI agents in production environments (orchestration, MCP and evaluation frameworks).
• Strong experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency in Python and TypeScript; familiarity with Kotlin, Go or Rust is a plus.
• Experience with Cloud platforms (GCP or equivalent) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar).
• Experience developing internal platforms for developers, CLIs or workflow engines.
• Strong understanding of the complete software development life cycle and engineering productivity practices.
• Strong problem-solving skills and autonomy to operate with minimal supervision.
• Excellent command of English (minimum C1 level, spoken and written).
• Residence in Portugal is required.
• Available to start immediately (ASAP) or with a notice period of up to 30 days.
• Будет плюсом: Hands-on experience with tools such as Cursor, Claude Code or similar; Knowledge of Knowledge Graphs, static code analysis or code intelligence; Experience with BDD/Cucumber, contract testing or mobile test automation (Maestro); Track record of improving engineering productivity through automation at scale

• Health insurance, a remote work allowance and transportation allowance.
• Opportunity to work in an international, collaborative and welcoming environment.
• Flexible working hours.
• Hybrid model (1 day per week in person) at the offices in Lisbon, Braga or Coimbra.
