Build AI pipelines and experiment with solutions
Optimize performance, cost, and quality
Collaborate with engineers to integrate AI into products
Evaluate and select the right techniques per use case
Stay up to date with developments in AI Who are we looking for?
Strong technical background (Python, ML frameworks, …)
Experience with AI / LLM use cases
Knowledge of embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval techniques
You can turn theory into practical solutions
You enjoy working hands-on and experimenting quickly
You think in impact, not complexity
You understand the trade-offs around quality, performance, security, and cost
You can demonstrate experience bringing AI use cases into working production environments Why choose Codana?
You won’t work in a research-only environment, but in a context where AI is actually used.

A competitive salary package with additional benefits
