AI/ML Engineer - Szeged

Join our AI Teams and help us build production-grade AI solutions that directly support and scale our global sales organization within the airline industry!

You will play a critical role in increasing sales efficiency, response quality, and speed-to-market by embedding AI into sales and pre-sales processes. Your work will focus on automating and augmenting sales-related workflows such as RFP/RFI processing, proposal generation, customer-specific solution descriptions, pricing inputs, and knowledge retrieval.

This role combines hands-on technical leadership with the opportunity to shape and grow a distributed AI engineering team. You will act as a technical lead for sales-focused AI initiatives and, over time, take responsibility for guiding and mentoring a team of AI engineers.

Your responsibilities will include

• Architect and implement scalable AI/ML solutions on Azure (preferred) or GCP, leveraging services such as Azure Databricks, Azure ML Studio, Data Lake Storage, Event Hubs and Functions (or GCP equivalents).
• Design and build AI solutions for sales use cases such as:
• Automated RFP/RFI ingestion, classification, and response generation.
• Intelligent document understanding (PDFs, Word, Excel, presentations).
• Knowledge retrieval across product documentation, contracts, and past proposals.
• Sales assistant capabilities powered by LLMs.
• Develop and deploy LLM-based systems using prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Integrate ML and GenAI solutions with enterprise platforms such as CRM systems, document repositories, collaboration tools, and workflow engines.
• Drive the evolution of successful PoCs into robust MVPs ready for adoption by sales and pre-sales teams.
• Implement MLOps practices including CI/CD for ML, infrastructure-as-code, model versioning, and automated retraining and deployment pipelines.
• Provide technical guidance, code reviews, and architectural support to AI engineers, with a growing responsibility for mentoring and leading a distributed team.
• Stay ahead of emerging AI trends, tools, and frameworks to continuously push innovation boundaries.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or related quantitative field.
• 3+ years of experience in ML engineering or AI solution development, ideally with production deployments supporting enterprise or business-facing use cases.
• Familiarity with Azure data & AI services (e.g.: Azure Databricks, Azure ML Studio, Data Factory, Data Lake, Event Hubs, Functions) or GCP equivalents.
• Strong experience with GenAI systems, including LLMs, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, MCP and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Familiarity with agentic or multi-agent system concepts and architectures.
• Strong programming skills in Python.
• Self-starter mindset with a passion for innovation and experimentation.
• Excellent communication skills in English; ability to present complex architectures to stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

• Hands-on experience with document AI, NLP, semantic search, or knowledge graph solutions.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for ML (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or ARM templates).
• Exposure to MLOps practices and tools (e.g. CI/CD, model versioning, MLflow, Kubeflow).
• Hands-on Spark/Databricks expertise.
• Experience building PoCs and MVPs in AI/ML contexts.
• Familiarity with data engineering fundamentals for preparing and curating datasets for experimentation and model training.
• Demonstrated experience acting as a technical lead, owning architecture decisions and guiding other engineers.
