Requisition ID 35992 Office Country Bulgaria Office City Sofia Division Information Technology Contract Type Fixed Term Contract Length 3 years Posting End Date 31/03/2026

This is your chance to design and deliver intelligent systems that make a real impact. As an Associate AI Engineer, you will own the development of scalable chatbots, conversational AI, and retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) solutions using Azure AI Services, Prompt Flow, and Vector Search. You’ll take business problems from concept to production, applying strong engineering practices around quality, fairness, and explainability.

You’ll shape how AI is built across the organisation—deploying pipelines, fine‑tuning models, guiding junior engineers, and ensuring solutions are robust, secure, and production‑ready. If you enjoy hands‑on engineering, modern frameworks such as Transformers and LangChain, and building solutions that scale in the cloud, this role lets you lead with impact.

What you will do:

• Design, build, and maintain AI/ML applications including chatbots, RAG pipelines, and semantic search.
• Write clean, maintainable Python code and contribute to code reviews.
• Develop AI solutions using Azure AI Services, Prompt Flow, and Azure AI Search (Vector Store).
• Deliver end‑to‑end AI features aligned with product and business goals.
• Build robust unit, integration, and observability tests across pipelines.
• Validate, tune, and deploy models with attention to fairness, explainability, and quality.
• Translate business requirements into technical designs and actionable user stories.
• Act as a key technical contact for AI/ML queries within the squad.
• Participate in technical design discussions, backlog refinement, and estimation.
• Drive continuous improvement and innovation in pipeline design and automation.
• Establish automated testing, quality gates, and observability in CI/CD workflows.
