Senior AI Platform Engineer

We are looking for a Senior AI Platform Engineer to join our team at ORIL. This is an opportunity to work on a high-stakes AI-driven platform where performance, reliability, and data integrity are at the core of everything we build. If you thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, take full ownership of your systems, and have a "ship-fast-but-stable" mindset, we want to talk to you.

About the project

Our client is a US-based innovator pushing the boundaries of AI workflows. We are building sophisticated, multi-step AI systems that require deep observability, robust data pipelines, and a seamless CI/CD process to maintain high velocity without sacrificing quality.

Tech Stack: Python, AI/LLM Orchestration, Distributed Tracing, AWS, PostgreSQL, Modern CI/CD.

What are we looking for?

• 4+ years of experience building and owning production-grade backend systems in Python;
• Recent experience instrumenting distributed tracing or node-level observability for multi-step AI workflows to diagnose complex bottlenecks;
• Proven ownership of end-to-end data pipelines: from ingestion and embedding to retrieval validation and schema enforcement;
• Hands-on experience setting up CI/CD gates that run evals, schema validation, or integration tests automatically before a merge;
• High shipping velocity: track record of shipping 5+ pull requests in a single day on a production codebase, each closing a distinct issue;
• Latency Optimization: experience profiling and fixing bottlenecks in Python backends (P95 < 1.5s) for real-time or near-real-time requests;
• System Responsibility: experience owning systems with a high "blast radius" where other engineers depend on your changes daily;
• Experience writing deployment SOPs or runbooks that allow others to execute deployments without direct involvement;
• Technical Stack: Proficient in LangGraph (state machines, node composition), PostgreSQL (pgvector), and RAG pipelines;
• English level: Upper-Intermediate (B2+).

What will you do?

• Develop and maintain multi-step AI workflows and the infrastructure that supports them;
• Set up and improve CI/CD gates that run integration tests and schema validations automatically before every merge;
• Maintain a high shipping tempo (handling multiple PRs daily) while keeping the codebase clean;
• Write deployment SOPs and runbooks to ensure system stability and team autonomy;
• Diagnose and fix complex issues in distributed systems using advanced tracing tools;
• Work closely with the engineering team to refine the technical roadmap and ensure architectural consistency.

We offer:

• Competitive compensation;
• Flexibility to work from anywhere (fully remotely or in our office in Lviv);
• Accounting Support Services;
• Education budget + corporate education events/trainings;
• Compensation for certifications, fitness, or therapy sessions;
• A dynamic environment where your proactivity is recognized and rewarded.

Application Process:

1. Initial Screening: Call with Recruiter.
2. Technical Interview: Be ready to share specific examples of diagnosing bottlenecks and managing data pipelines.
3. Client Interview.
