Before you apply, please read through our Cultural Manifesto /p h3About the role /h3 h3JOB TITLE: AI Engineer /h3 h3LOCATION: Full remote or Hybrid (Milan) /h3 h3TYPE OF CONTRACT: Full-Time Permanent /h3 h3SALARY RANGE: up to 55K /h3 pYou'll join the Science Team, the team that owns everything AI at WeRoad: from the conversational assistant that talks to travelers across five European markets, to AI-powered search, personalisation algorithms, content and internal tools. It's a small, hands-on team where your code ships to production and real users from the first weeks. We're looking for someone sharp, fast and hungry. That matters more than seniority. /p h3What you'll do /h3 ul liBuild, ship and maintain LLM-powered features in production – agents, classifiers, RAG pipelines and AI search used by thousands of travelers every day /li liDesign and iterate on LangGraph workflows, prompts and tool-calling logic, turning business needs into reliable AI behavior /li liSet up and run evaluations: define test sets, track quality, latency and cost with tracing/observability tools (e.g. Langfuse), and use the data to decide what to improve /li liIntegrate AI services with WeRoad's product and data stack (APIs, databases, BigQuery, cloud infrastructure on GCP) /li liOptimize what's already live: token usage, model routing, prompt efficiency and response quality /li liWork closely with Product, Customer Care, Marketing and Data to spot new AI use cases and take them from prototype to production /li liOwn problems end-to-end: from understanding the need to shipping and monitoring the solution /li /ul h3What we're looking for /h3 ul liProduct sense – you start from the problem,
not the model. You ask who it's for and what changes for them, and you know when not to use AI /li libExperience as a software engineer and/or product engineer, ideally in a product company or a fast growing startup /b /li liAgency and ownership – you don't wait for a perfect ticket. You take something vague, make it concrete, ship it and own what happens after /li liEngineering skills – you understand what it takes to run AI in production. Asked to ship agents serving 100k queries a month, you can reason about the system-level trade-offs: latency, cost, reliability, scalability. /li liExperience using TypeScript or Python is a strong plus /li liYou've built things with AI – at work, in research or on your own. We care about what you built and why /li liYou measure before you trust – a prompt or a model isn't done until you've checked how it behaves /li liClarity – You can explain technical choices to non-technical people /li liFluency in English /li /ul h3You will love working at WeRoad if /h3 ul liYou dream big, aim higher, and push yourself beyond limits you didn't think possible. Challenges excite you, and you're hungry for the next win. /li liYou want to be part of a young, smart, and fun team that shares your passion for travel. You thrive in a community of bold thinkers and doers who challenge and inspire each other. /li liYou're an entrepreneur at heart, take responsibility from day one, and move fast to make things happen. /li liYou prefer adventure over routine and embrace the fast-paced, ever-changing ride of a scaleup. You make decisions quickly, test, learn, and adapt—because growth comes from action. /li liYou believe in the power of people. Our WeRoaders and Travel Coordinators are at the core of everything we do, and you're eager to be part of something bigger.
