AI & Automation Engineer

We are looking for an AI & Automation Engineer.
Key Responsibilities
Build and maintain Python automations for marketing and commercial workflows, using third-party AI models where they add value.
Develop company enrichment, partner classification and scoring pipelines.
Contribute to retrieval and chatbot workflows under the team lead’s direction.
Turn business requests into clear tasks and acceptance criteria.
Establish a baseline and evaluation set before implementation; compare approaches on the same data and report quality, limitations and cost per result.
Use AI coding agents to support implementation, while checking generated code, integration behavior and consistency with earlier decisions.
Use deterministic code and rules where model calls are unnecessary.
Prepare changes for code review, test failure cases, document configuration and operating procedures, and coordinate deployment and handover with DevOps.
Track delivery, dependencies and blockers in YouTrack.
Maintain reproducible technical documentation in English.
Requirements
Python: Practical skills working with APIs, structured data, error handling and automated tests. Ability to explain, debug and revise code produced with AI assistance.
LLMs and AI tools: Experience using LLM APIs and AI coding tools to build working solutions. Understanding of structured outputs, retrieval, tool use and when deterministic logic is more appropriate than a model call.
Evaluation and quality: Ability to define evaluation criteria, build a baseline, inspect errors and compare quality and per-unit cost. Clear reporting of uncertainty and limitations.
Development practices: Working knowledge of Git, code review, dependency and configuration management, logging, and secure handling of credentials and business data.

Communication: Ability to read and write technical documentation in English and work with engineering and business colleagues.
Preferred Skills
Experience with CRM data enrichment, B2B company research, classification or lead scoring.
Experience with HubSpot integrations and retrieval-based assistants, including Onyx or similar tools.
Experience comparing model providers and tracking inference cost, latency and output quality.

Understanding of travel-industry business models and partner segmentation.
