- 5+ 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
- We’re looking for a Senior Engineer, Data & AI who thrives at the intersection of software engineering, data engineering, and applied AI to build production-grade systems
- You’ll develop, deploy, and scale features that sit at the core of our product
- Design & Build AI-Powered Features: Architect, implement, and ship data-driven product features, always starting with the customer problem first. From prototyping through production, you’ll apply the right level of technology (whether simple heuristics or advanced AI) to deliver impact
- Build for Production: Build maintainable and scalable systems, including writing clean, testable code, integrating with new and existing data pipelines, and deploying solutions and services into cloud environments
- End to End Solution Delivery: Operate as an end-to-end developer in a fast paced startup. This involves identifying opportunities, prototyping solutions, securing stakeholder support, and productionalizing features that deliver measurable business value
- 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

- Promote Best Practices: Establish and evangelize standards for AI/ML engineering and data quality across the team
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.
