AI Engineer (All Genders)

Job Description

At Dailymotion, we are building the next generation of AI-powered products. We are looking for an AI Engineer to lead the design and delivery of production‑grade AI capabilities that drive measurable impact across our products and business.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and evolution of AI‑powered features and platform capabilities from concept to production.
• Design, ship, and operate production‑grade agentic systems to tackle complex video platform challenges.
• Architect and maintain APIs, data contracts, and shared libraries to ensure AI capabilities are reusable across teams.
• Define and track critical metrics: task success rate, helpfulness, hallucination proxies, safety flags, latency, and cost.
• Own end‑to‑end quality: offline evaluation, online experiments, monitoring, and iterative improvements on accuracy and performance.
• Establish and enforce best practices for AI engineering: prompt/configuration versioning, reproducibility, testing strategies, and safe handling of sensitive data.
• Mentor mid‑level and junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing.
• Collaborate with Product, Data, Security, and ML stakeholders to define outcomes and ensure safe deployment.

Qualifications

Required Skills

• 3+ years of software engineering experience or 3+ years with strong specialization in AI/ML production, ideally as an ML Engineer transitioning toward product or a Software Engineer with deep AI experience.
• Proficiency in at least one mainstream programming language (Golang or Python preferred).
• Solid understanding of LLM application engineering: embeddings, RAG, prompt design, structured outputs, evaluation frameworks, and common failure modes.
• Experience integrating model platforms (preferably Vertex AI) with production reliability patterns (timeouts, retries, fallbacks, rate limiting).
• Strong engineering fundamentals: system design, testing (unit/integration), CI/CD, observability, and clean architecture.
• Ability to independently drive solutions from ambiguous requirements to production delivery.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with retrieval systems (indexing, ranking, relevance tuning) and building ingestion pipelines for knowledge bases.
• Familiarity with AI safety and compliance (moderation, PII detection, policy enforcement, auditability).
• Experience optimizing distributed systems for performance and cost (caching, batching, concurrency).
• Proficiency in using AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate delivery without compromising quality.

Additional Information

• Location: Paris
• Start Date: Asap
• Contract Type: Permanent
