This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior AI Engineer (f/m/x) based in Portugal.

A major part of the role involves creating reusable AI capabilities, governance frameworks, deployment pathways, and tools that can be adopted across the organisation. You’ll have substantial autonomy and ownership in a remote-first, high-performance environment where decisions are driven by impact, experimentation, and strong technical judgment. The position is open to candidates across Europe, including the UK, who have the right to work.
