Want to know if you're a match for this job?
An early-stage engineering team is building an AI-focused platform for large-scale data processing and model evaluation, seeking a senior engineer to shape it from the foundation up. The work spans agentic systems, high-volume data pipelines, and automated evaluation—architecture designed for reliability and defensibility at scale, not just demo performance.
The role offers wide ownership. You’ll design core systems, build and operate the data layer end-to-end, and collaborate closely with the engineering lead on critical technical decisions. This position blends architecture and hands-on operations, requiring comfort in both designing systems and debugging production issues.
Responsibilities
Design and build agentic systems and automation from scratch, including automated evaluation loops that enable self-measurement and faster iteration.
Own large-scale data pipelines: handling millions of records, managing control groups, ensuring statistical validation, and maintaining full traceability of data flow.
Apply workflow orchestration to ensure reliable, high-throughput processing under real-world load conditions.
Engage in hands-on work as needed, including SQL, custom reporting, and direct fixes in production.
Serve as a technical counterpart for architecture and design reviews.
Requirements
Strong architectural thinking—reasoning in components, ownership boundaries, and reusability before coding or configuring.
5+ years of experience building agentic systems and automation independently, not just assembling existing frameworks.
Hands-on experience with data at scale: pipelines processing millions of records, not thousands. Backgrounds in ad tech, high-load financial systems, cybersecurity, or data engineering are highly relevant.
A strong focus on reliability: systems that handle load and edge cases without silent failures, with a habit of validating results using control groups.
A research-driven approach: ability to conduct clean experiments and defend results under scrutiny, not just deploy functional systems.
Comfortability moving across backend, SQL, reporting, and operations seamlessly.
Nice to Have
Research experience (academic or applied) where you had to defend results rigorously.
Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration tooling.
A history of mentoring engineers in technical design and architecture discussions.
What We Offer
— Flexible Work Environment: Remote work opportunities.
— 1:1 English Classes: Individual English language training.
— Premium Medical Insurance: Comprehensive health coverage.
— Great Team: Supportive, collaborative, and dynamic international team.
— Equipment Provided: All necessary tools supplied.
— Accounting Support: Full accounting assistance in Ukraine and Poland.
— Paid Time Off: 18 days Annual Vacation and 7 days Sick Leave without a doctor’s note.
— Flexible Payment System: Easy fund withdrawal with multiple options.

5Blue Software
View Company Profile5Blue Software (operating under 5bsoftware.com, legally 5Blue Software Ltd.) is a premier, enterprise-grade technology outstaffing, dedicated software engineering, and AI implementation powerhouse engineered to serve as the definitive, high-velocity R&D scale-up, staff augmentation, and fractional CTO-as-a-Service layer for tech startups, scaling mid-market companies, and global enterprise leaders across Israel, Europe, and North America. Founded with leadership from a deep tech background, the firm completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern engineering talent acquisition—where tech companies face crushing local developer shortages, burn critical financial runway on prolonged hiring cycles, and struggle with the complex compliance, payroll, and cultural management overhead of remote engineering units—by deploying a highly structured, fully managed nearshore and offshore talent optimization matrix. Moving far beyond traditional, passive recruiting agencies or low-signal freelance marketplaces, 5Blue Software natively unifies a vetted proprietary database of over 10,000 elite technical talents (spanning highly specialized engineering ecosystems across Ukraine and Central Europe), deep engineering leadership architecture audits, and a full-cycle, 6-step recruitment and onboarding framework into a high-availability R&D delivery ecosystem. Acting as an end-to-end operational shield, the company handles the entire cross-border administrative lifecycle—incorporating localized market research, multi-jurisdiction compliant payroll execution, strict employment law adherence, localized taxation management, and employee benefit programs—allowing clients to integrate elite dedicated engineering squads into their core codebases in under a fraction of standard timelines. The production-hardened firm serves as a long-term strategic R&D growth partner for prominent global tech titans and venture-backed innovators alike, maintaining an elite multi-year partnership with New York-based adtech giant Taboola (scaling their R&D node with over 20 dedicated data science, mobile, and backend engineers) alongside core programs for Qualcomm, Melingo, Session42, AllCloud, Browswear, and RxWare. Under the hood, its operational engine leverages advanced competency evaluation matrices, comprehensive technical coding assessments, and multi-cloud DevOps pipelines designed to deploy specialized talents across major tech stacks (including advanced Node.js backend nodes, React/Next.js frontend architectures, cross-platform iOS/Android mobile apps, and robust Python-driven machine learning models). The firm provides tailored AI agent architectures, predictive data analytics, and scalable SaaS foundations without reducing development velocity or disrupting internal team cultures. What sets 5Blue Software apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing volatile, unvetted contractor hiring with absolute R&D predictability, legal-tier corporate compliance, and predictable scaling costs; by combining high-signal technical validation with total administrative support, the organization remains a definitive cornerstone of modern algorithmic outstaffing and global digital product engineering transformation.
