Senior AI Platform Engineer (Snowflake, GenAI) @ Jacobs

At Jacobs we're embarking on an exciting journey as we initiate the development of our Digital & Data Hub in the heart of Krakow. Our mission is to undertake projects spanning various industries, including Consumer and Manufacturing, Defence and Security, Energy and Utilities, Financial Services, Government and Public Services, Health and Life Sciences, and Transport.

We are seeking an experienced Senior AI / Data Platform Engineer to play a key role in building and operating Snowflake based data platforms that enable GenAI and advanced AI use cases at enterprise scale.

The primary focus of this role is designing, building, and operating Snowflake based data platforms that enable GenAI and advanced AI use cases across the organization. This is a data platform first role with strong exposure to GenAI, rather than a pure research or modeling position.

We offer:

• Rewarding employment - full-time employment/b2b contract with a salary that matches your qualifications
• Hybrid work model - enjoy the flexibility of working mainly from home
• Flexible hours - start your day anytime between 7:30 and 10:00 AM
• Comprehensive benefits, including Lux Med medical care, psychological support, life insurance, My Benefit cafeteria system, Multisport card co-financing, and a car/bike park sharing system (only under CoE)
• Possibility to travel on an occasional basis
• Co-financed holidays - enjoy "Wczasy pod Gruszą" for a well-deserved break
• Global projects - engage in exciting international projects (only under CoE)
• Inclusive networks - join our diverse employee networks like Women's Network, OneWorld, PRISM, Careers Network, Green Team, SpeakUp, Collectively, and more
• Continuous learning - participate in our Graduate Development Program, Learners’ Community, and self-learning platforms
• Language courses - enhance your skills with courses in English, German, and Polish

We know that if we are inclusive, we’re more connected, and we’re more creative. We accept people for who they are. Find out more about life at Jacobs.

As a Disability Confident employer, we will interview all disabled applicants who meet the criteria for a vacancy.
