Software Engineer 2 (Python)

Nasze wymagania: Code in Python, Java and Kotlin; Expect work that requires creative approach to search experience challenges, to be proud of enjoying its results together with all Allegro users; Want to create solid code, eagerly accept comments and share knowledge during code reviews; Can look for effective solutions to the requirements set by users; Want to constantly develop and update their knowledge; Know English at at least B2 level. Mile widziane: You are open to diverse technologies and workflows, including dev-operational tools on one hand, and working with data on the other. Basic experience with LLM tuning (LoRA, PEFT), training and evaluation pipelines for models and/or basic frameworks for building AI Agents (Agent Development Kit, LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI) would be great! O projekcie: In our domain, we focus on delivering the core search and retrieval capabilities for the Allegro AI Assistant. We maintain a critical entry point for users looking to discover products, compare offers, and get personalized recommendations through natural conversations. Striving for relevancy and accuracy first, we are designing, implementing, and operating an extensive system combining modern microservice architecture with Large Language Models, high-performance retrievers, and vast data sources. We care about data quality, robust context building, and near real-time accuracy to best guide users through a highly dynamic marketplace via an intelligent, conversational interface. Important things for you: Flexible working hours in the hybrid model (4/1) - working hours start between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. We also have 30 days of occasional remote work. The salary range for this position depending on the skill set is as follows (contract of employment, tax-deductible cost): - PLN 14 200 - 20 200 - Annual bonus based on your annual performance and company results. Our team is based in Poznań. Zakres obowiązków: Performance & Scale: Design, build, and optimize AI-driven systems that process complex natural language interactions. Delivering low-latency, high-quality responses from our AI Assistant requires high-availability and smart optimization of LLM and retrieval workloads in practice. Modern Tech Stack: Work with a world-class, cloud-native polyglot environment. Our core backend technologies include Java, Kotlin, Spring, and ADK. At the same time, our AI and orchestration layer heavily relies on Python. You will utilize Python and LangChain for complex LLM orchestration, alongside Langfuse for observability, prompt tracking, and evaluation. We leverage advanced vector search and modern ML solutions to make our assistant truly smart. True Ownership & Autonomy: We live by a "you build it, you run it" philosophy. You'll join an agile, autonomous team with full ownership of your AI microservices and data pipelines, from design to deployment; and improvements are dictated by results of our own experiments and AI evaluation metrics. Complex Challenges: From LLM orchestration and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to semantic search optimization, you'll tackle the complex backend problems that power a conversational marketplace assistant. You will work across the Java/Kotlin and Python ecosystems, integrating advanced embedding models, prompt pipelines, and vector databases to ensure our AI deeply understands and accurately retrieves information. Oferujemy: Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms). A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.
