Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of professional experience in software engineering or data engineering, with at least 3+ years building AI/ML-driven products
- Strong programming skills in Python and proficiency in SQL
- Experience with modern AI frameworks (eg HuggingFace, LangChain, etc.) and designing data pipelines (Airflow, Dagster, or equivalent),
- Solid understanding of cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Experience applying LLMs and generative AI in production, including prompt engineering, RAG, and LLM deployment
- Strong grasp of fundamental data science and machine learning techniques, with the ability to balance research and engineering tradeoffs
- Demonstrated ability to translate business problems into data solutions that drive business value
- Proven track record of shipping user-facing features with measurable impact
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate across data, engineering, and product teams
- Startup experience preferred
- Not all candidates will check all of the requirements listed above and that’s ok! We are open to great people from non-traditional backgrounds
What the job involves
- Applied AI Innovation: Research and apply modern methods (AI agents, LLMs, RAG, embeddings, supervised/unsupervised learning) to power new product capabilities, prioritizing impact and speed over perfection
- Enhance User Experience Through AI: Translate business problems into AI solutions that improve user workflows, accelerate insights, and drive measurable value
- Build Agentic Chat Across the Product: Own the architecture and integration of agentic chat capabilities throughout the Vendelux platform — designing the underlying systems that allow AI agents to reason, take action, and surface insights across every surface of the product. You'll establish the patterns for how agents interact with internal data, external tools, and user workflows, turning conversational AI from a feature into a foundational layer of the product experience
- Build for Scale and Reliability: Architect multi-tenant AI infrastructure that meets the performance, latency, and cost requirements of a growing B2B SaaS product. You'll own observability, evaluation frameworks, and guardrails to keep AI features production-grade
- Partner Across Product and Engineering: Work closely with product, data science, and application engineering teams to translate business requirements into AI systems. You'll serve as a thought partner to leadership on the AI roadmap, influencing how Vendelux thinks about product differentiation through AI
Our take
Event marketing enables companies to engage with potential buyers and showcase their offerings up close - providing an ideal platform to communicate ideas, thoughts and brand identity. Vendelux offers a platform that empowers event marketers and CMOs to analyse customer and competitor behaviour, and in turn choose the best conferences to attend.
The company leverages AI to deliver insights on attendees and sponsors of over 160,000 global conferences, helping customers decide which events they should attend and sponsor for the largest return. It also allows collaboration with sales teams to book meetings with every possible lead, and ROI evaluation tools that prove the value of all event marketing activities.
Since founding, the company has amassed a growing customer base that includes the likes of GitLab, DocuSign and Intel, and has also raised several successful funding rounds. The most recent investment supports increased marketing efforts and the enhancement of its ROI-evaluation tools, as well as hiring to build out its team.
