Senior AI Engineer

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join our Chat Group, where we’re building the next generation of intelligent conversational systems for the recruiting industry.

Our mission is bold yet simple: boost the efficiency of recruiting and hiring teams and deliver the most personalized experience ever - powered by cutting-edge ML, NLP, and agentic AI.

You’ll play a central role in designing and developing agentic workflows, where autonomous AI agents collaborate, reason, and act to deliver intelligent and context-aware recruiting experiences at scale.

At SmartRecruiters, you’ll be part of a global, high-impact team shaping how people connect with jobs.
You’ll work with passionate peers across Germany, Poland, the UK, and the US - in a culture that values autonomy, innovation, and measurable outcomes.

Want to know what it's really like to work in this team? Read our interview with Matteo Sumberaz, Senior Engineering Manager. He shares what a typical week looks like, what strong candidates do differently, and what you'd be working on in your first 90 days -> LINK.

We’re not just building chat systems - we’re building the AI recruiting assistants of the future.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and build agentic workflows that combine large language models, reasoning components, and data pipelines to create adaptive, goal-driven conversational systems
• Lead the design and development of advanced ML/NLP products, from ideation to production - including model training, evaluation, optimization, and deployment
• Drive experimentation with new approaches for agentic reasoning, coordination, and autonomous system design
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to integrate intelligent agents into real-world recruiting workflows
• Guide technical decisions, mentor other engineers, and help define best practices for scalable, maintainable ML systems
• Contribute to the evolution of our NLP and conversational intelligence stack, focusing on reliability, personalization, and user impact
• Proactively identify opportunities to automate, improve, and innovate within our chat-based ecosystem
