At DATAPAO, data ignites passion, community fuels collaboration, and growth knows no bounds. We are a leading Data Engineering and Data Science consulting company backed by Databricks and recognized for our unmatched delivery standards and rapid growth. We have been named Databricks EMEA Emerging Business Partner of the Year and have achieved a second consecutive appearance on the Financial Times FT1000 list.
As a Senior AI Engineer, your responsibilities will span across the following dimensions:
Technical Expertise
You (ideally) have 5+ years of experience as a Data Scientist, with a focus on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP);
You have a proven track record working with Databricks (PySpark, SQL, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog);
You have a good understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs), and you are familiar with their frameworks/libraries;
You have strong Python knowledge of the most common DS libraries;
Proficiency with MLOps;
You have good knowledge of data visualization tools/libraries;
[BONUS] You are proficient in any deep learning framework;
[BONUS] Experience with distributed computing, preferably Spark.
Consulting & Client-Facing Skills
You’ve successfully delivered projects like end-to-end, fully automated ML solutions, or production-ready Generative AI applications in Databricks;
You excel in explaining technical concepts to non-technical audiences and drive decision-making.
Operational Readiness & Soft Skills
You’re (almost) ready to hit the ground running, immediately contributing to live client projects;
In a fast-paced consulting environment, where no two days are the same, flexibility and problem-solving comes naturally to you. Furthermore, resilience and thriving on challenges are essential traits in our industry;
You'll have the rare opportunity to join DATAPAO at a time when you can still meaningfully impact our growth trajectory and organizational success. Furthermore as our first AI Engineer hire in the UK, you’ll also get to spearhead our regional expansion.
Surely, we know everyone needs a little something to do their best work. Here is a list of some other extras we offer:
The chance to work remotely - as we don't have a physical office in the UK yet, we offer a fully remote setup for the time being. However, given our strong community emphasis, we'd expect you to spend one month in our Budapest hub during onboarding and visit the office for one week every quarter;
World-class educational benefits - there’s no shortage of learning opportunities at DATAPAO, meaning that you'll get access to Databricks' public and internal courses to learn all the tricks of Distributed Data Processing, MLOps, Apache Spark, Databricks, and Cloud Migration from the best. Additionally, we'll pay for various data & cloud certifications, you'll get dedicated time for learning during work hours, and access to our internal library;
Flexible PTO days - we’re flexible with how many days you take off if that does not conflict with customer success and the work getting done;
4 weeks of paternity leave - because we think it’s important for both parents to be there when it matters the most;
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - life always happens! And we'd like to be there for you when it counts the most. Through EAP, we offer our employees access to psychology, financial, and legal consulting services via phone or in person;
Pension scheme enrollment and a comprehensive private health insurance plan - offered via our EOR (Employer of Record) provider, Remote.com. Remote will be your official employer in the UK for the foreseeable future until we establish our own legal entity in the UK;
Top-notch working equipment - working comfortably means working well. You will get a MacBook Pro, a phone, and a sign-up bonus of 500 GBP gross (to be paid with your first payroll) to set up your home office or whatever else is needed to give your best;
The chance to make an impact in a high-transparency culture - open feedback and no politics are things we value a lot at DATAPAO. Additionally, you'll get the chance to work in the field of data & AI and shape the future of a rapidly growing tech company.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Given that we are still sorting our ways out in the UK, this list will likely get an update in the following months, and we're also committed to growing it with us over time.
The gross salary for this position ranges from 70.000 to 100.000 GBP/year, depending on your assessed seniority level during the selection process.
Please note that currently we are unable to support transfer or offer full sponsorship for Skilled Worker visas as we’re just setting foot into the UK.
