We are looking for AI Platform Engineers to help our clients build strong foundations for AI use in real business environments. You will work with cloud, data, and machine learning systems that support the reliable adoption of AI at scale.

Who we are

Polar Squad helps companies make the tech work meaningful. We build platform solutions for engineers, help our clients get AI-ready, and create environments where technology supports real business value.

We aim for a warm, personal, and modern approach to cloud, platform engineering, data, and AI.

What you'll do

In this role, you are part of client teams designing and building modern AI and data platforms. Your work makes it possible to train, deploy, and operate AI systems in a trusted and efficient way.

You will:

Build and maintain platform components that support AI workloads such as model training, inference, vector search, data preparation, and feature processing
Design pipelines and workflows for data and model delivery, covering both batch and real-time cases
Work with various data types and design models that serve analytics and machine learning needs
Implement storage solutions like warehouses, lakes, and lakehouses with the right balance of security, cost, and performance
Ensure reliability in data and model flows through testing, monitoring, and clear governance
Work closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and platform teams to make sure models can run safely and at scale
Support deployment, versioning, and monitoring of AI and ML models, including evaluation and rollout strategies
Take part in shaping Polar Squad's approach to AI platforms, tools, and ways of working

What we're looking for

Must-Haves

Strong hands-on experience with Python or similar languages for platform and pipeline work
Solid skills in SQL
Experience with modern data or AI platforms such as Databricks, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or lakehouse setups
Cloud experience in AWS, GCP, or Azure
Experience with workflow tools such as Airflow, dbt, Prefect or Dagster
Understanding of data modeling and schema design for analytics and ML
Familiarity with deploying or supporting AI and ML workflows in production

Nice-to-Haves

Experience with real-time systems (Kafka, Kinesis, Pub Sub)
Experience with feature stores, vector databases, or model registries
Knowledge of observability, lineage, and quality tools
Awareness of privacy, security, and compliance practices (for example, GDPR)

Why this role matters

Many organizations want to move forward with AI, but they lack stable foundations such as data quality, scalable runtimes, and safe deployment pipelines. As an AI Platform Engineer, you help them create these foundations so they can use AI in a trustworthy and practical way.

What we offer

Work that matters, building AI and data platforms for companies in many industries
Real influence you help shape our tools, choices, and ways of working
Collaboration with skilled cloud engineers, platform engineers, and advisors
Learning and growth with new data and AI technologies
Flexible working setup and a healthy work-life balance
Competitive salary and benefits
