AI Engineer (Research-Facing) JB-5221

A Tel Aviv-based company is looking for an AI Engineer (Research-Facing).

We are building AI-driven technology intelligence and investment capabilities, focused on evaluating cutting-edge AI methods and turning them into real business impact. The role sits at the intersection of research and engineering. You will work directly with AI researchers and take responsibility for turning research ideas into robust, production-grade systems.

This is a hands-on, individual contributor role (not managerial).

What you will do:

• Work closely alongside AI researchers in fast evaluation cycles.
• Turn research prototypes into robust, reliable systems.

• Take ownership of end-to-end implementation.

Requirements:

• Approximately 4 to 6 years of hands-on software development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Python.
• Experience building complete end-to-end systems (not just scripts or notebooks).
• Practical machine learning experience (beyond academic studies).
• B.Sc. in Computer Science (from a leading university - an advantage).
• Fluency in Hebrew and English.

Significant advantage:

• Background in a leading IDF technology unit (e.g., 8200, 81, Talpiot).
• Direct experience as an AI / ML Engineer.
• Contributions to open-source or independent technical projects.
• Experience in a leading AI lab or research program (e.g., OpenAI, DeepMind, Meta AI).
• Experience working closely with researchers.
• Building end-to-end ML systems or infrastructure.
• Background in mathematics / physics / related fields.
• M.Sc. in Computer Science or a related field.
