Pubblicato il 19-08-2026 - Liablix in Bologna
Bologna / Amsterdam / Remote (EU timezone preferred) Full-time Who we are Liablix is an innovative startup transforming how road accidents are reconstructed and analyzed. Today, claims management is slow, opaque, and prone to fraud. We want to make it precise, fast, and automated; powered by AI. We work on AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), LLMs, and NLP to extract insights from reports, documents, and data. It's a huge market, and we're convinced that the next insurtech unicorn will be born here. We're VC-backed by top international funds who strongly believe in our vision and enable us to grow fast. We're at the early stages and looking for a Founding AI Engineer – AI Agents : one of the first people on board, with a central role in building the intelligent agent stack that powers our platform. You'll also mentor a research intern, helping them execute experiments and scale the impact of your work.
What you'll do Design, implement, and deploy AI agents and RAG systems using cutting-edge LLMs (Chat GPT, Claude, LLa MA, Falcon, Mistral, etc.). Build, curate, and fine-tune high-quality datasets for NLP tasks. Develop and optimize NLP pipelines and models using state-of-the‐art architectures (BERT, Ro BERTa, GPT, T5, LLa MA derivatives, etc.). Combine off-the-shelf tools with custom research to drive 0→1 innovation . Investigate failures, optimize performance, and debug agent behaviors when systems don't perform as expected. Collaborate directly with founders and engineers to bring new AI features from idea to production. Supervise and mentor a research intern to ensure progress on experiments and data pipelines.
What we're looking for Background in Computer Science, AI, Software Engineering , or a related field (Ph D or equivalent experience ). Strong hands‐on experience building and deploying AI agents, RAG pipelines, and NLP systems. Solid understanding of LLM architectures, embeddings,
and fine‐tuning methods.
Experience creating and managing datasets for NLP and conversational AI. Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) and graph neural networks is highly valued.
Entrepreneurial mindset: proactive, independent, and comfortable shaping product direction. Willingness to work in a founder‐like role , with high autonomy and ownership. Being a genius is a strong plus.
What we offer A pivotal role: you'll be among the first 5 team members and define both technology and company culture.
Competitive salary: €45,000 – €70,000 annually. Performance premio and opportunity to renegotiate salary after key growth milestones.
Equity: join as a shareholder through early hire stock options .
Standard benefits: private health insurance, training and conference budget, fully remote work (HQ in Italy), periodic team retreats, personal financial advisor.
Accelerated growth: your name will be tied to one of the most ambitious AI startups in Europe.
Culture Fit
You're an A-player who wants to work with other A-players. You love to build from scratch , test, break, and improve. You thrive in fast‐paced, high‐responsibility environments. You're driven by impact and want your work to be used by thousands of real users.
We're not a fit if: You prefer predictable, process-heavy corporate environments. You're not ready to commit fully to an early-stage journey. You rely exclusively on existing tools without innovating beyond them.
Tired of orchestrating small models inside big systems? Here, you'll build agents that think, decide, and act , and see them deployed into production within weeks. We're not looking for "employees." We're looking for co‐creators of Liablix's future.
You didn't buy Bitcoin in 2009, but you joined Liablix in 2026. Everyone says they want to join a unicorn early. Few actually do. Bologna / Amsterdam / Remote (EU timezone preferred) Bologna / Amsterdam / Remote (EU timezone preferred)
