Senior Software Engineer (Agentic AI Applications)

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Software Engineer (Agentic AI Applications)

Description

You will help design, build, and operate modern backend systems for data- and AI-driven products. In small cross-functional teams, you will turn business needs and early concepts into reliable software from proof of concept through production readiness, go-live, and structured handover to MLOps or operations teams. The role focuses on backend engineering for AI-enabled applications (using existing models/services and agentic workflow platforms).

Responsibilities

• Take technical responsibility for AI application projects, owning the full engineering lifecycle from PoC to go-live.

• Design and implement production-grade backend services, APIs, and integration components for data- and AI-enabled applications.

• Translate business requirements into scalable, secure, maintainable software architectures and drive implementation.

• Build production-grade agentic workflows on an existing agentic workflow platform and integrate them with enterprise systems, APIs, data sources, knowledge bases, and business processes.

• Ensure reliable, controlled operation using automated testing, error handling, fallbacks, guardrails, human-in-the-loop mechanisms, security, observability, traceability, and auditability.

• Evolve solutions iteratively from PoC/prototype to production, including deployment support, troubleshooting, and stabilization.

• Establish engineering practices such as code reviews, CI/CD, GitOps, automated integration and end-to-end testing, and technical documentation.

• Perform structured handover to MLOps/operations teams with deployment procedures, monitoring, runbooks, operational documentation, and knowledge transfer.

• Collaborate with product owners, architects, data scientists, MLOps engineers, security specialists, platform teams, and stakeholders to evaluate options, explain trade-offs, and manage risks/dependencies.

• Contribute reusable components, integration patterns, and engineering standards; mentor other engineers.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, focused on backend development and Python for production-grade systems.

• Solid experience building backend services, APIs, and distributed systems.

• Experience with containers and deployment technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, or serverless.

• Good understanding of software architecture, clean code principles, and engineering best practices.

• Experience with Git, pull requests, and code reviews.

• Practical experience with CI/CD and GitOps concepts and tools.

• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and drive topics forward.

• Strong communication skills to explain technical concepts clearly to different audiences.

Benefits

• Annual financial bonus.

• Extra paid time off: 25 days/year holiday; up to 5 “My days”; and 1 volunteering day, plus additional family-related leave options.

• Flexible working hours and possibility to work remotely.

• Pension plan contribution.

• Office refreshments; company mobile phone and laptop.

• Meal vouchers (160 CZK per working day) and cafeteria-style benefits (e.g., Multisport Card, Makro Card).

• Company shares; discounts (Alza); family program with T-Mobile.

• Training and qualification opportunities via an internal learning hub, plus personal development support (career path, job rotation, “Bring your own Project”).

• Relocation package for candidates coming from abroad; wellness activities and team events.
