We are hiring
Since 2019, and thanks to the support from the European Commission, OpenNebula Systems has been leading the edge computing innovation in Europe, investing heavily in research and open source development, and playing a key role in strategic EU initiatives such as the IPCEI-CIS and the “European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud”.
We are currently looking for a Senior Technologist for Artificial Intelligence with expertise in LLM to come and join us in Europe as part of our new team developing the AI-enabled operations component of the next generation management platform for the Cloud-Edge Computing Continuum.
Job Description
The AI Operations Team is responsible for developing the AI-enabled engine to optimize operations on cloud and edge infrastructures. The engine will provide smart monitoring, intelligent workload forecasting, workload and infrastructure orchestration capabilities, and log and metric anomaly detection. The AI Team is also responsible for building new frameworks for AI on the cloud-to-edge continuum enabling different downstream applications. This covers advanced prompt engineering, prompt development, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), fine-tuning, and instruction-tuning to augment LLMs.
We are looking for an experienced Software Developer with strong understanding of LLMs, AI, AI Ops, and cloud best practices and deployments. The ideal candidate will be product-minded and also be experienced in Python back end developing. This role involves staying up to date with the latest research, advancements and techniques for using LLMs and generative AI in the context of Cloud-Edge Operations. AI Engineers combine both an empirical scientific approach to validating and evaluating the accuracy of these outputs, with creative problem-solving and strategy to develop better methods in this novel field of LLM prompting/retrieving, together with data engineering best practices to optimize cloud deployments and operations cost and performance.
You’ll work in an agile environment to design, develop, test, maintain and validate with use cases a next generation management platform for the Cloud-Edge Computing Continuum. You will also participate in the upstream community, on challenging projects developing innovative edge/cloud systems. Applicants should be passionate about the future of the software defined datacenters, distributed systems, and open source.

Fine-tuning open source LLMs and comparing/validating them with public LLM API
Analyzing functional and systems requirements and key case studies, and build prototypes for solutions to meet the internal demands of technology and services, and external demands of customers
Meeting with prospects, customers and partners to deeply understand their most difficult challenges
Defining the design, roadmap and prototype of the cloud-edge architecture for an end-to-end integrated solution for the AI market
Choosing the appropriate services and technologies for the system, and creating the documentation and diagrams of the AI integrated solution
Contributing to and leading the development and testing of the AI software components, and their integration, deployment and validation using industry use cases
Leading the execution and prepare proposals of research and innovation projects related to cloud-edge management and AI
Serve as an evangelist, contribute to community, and advice in the promotion of solutions for the AI market
Collaborating with other companies in the cloud-edge ecosystem within international projects, open-source communities and standardization bodies. Availability to occasional travel and participation in international events and meetings
Writing and maintaining software documentation and project reports
Creating an inspiring team environment with an open communication culture

What you will bring

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
3+ years of hands-on experience in AI/ML, LLM and cloud systems development and integration using open-source technologies
Demonstrated expertise in researching, developing, and implementing AI/ML and LLM algorithms for predictive analytics, workload optimization, log analysis, and anomaly detection to enhance system performance trends.
Proficiency in designing, developing and maintaining Python code used for AI/ML, data processing and in general software engineering tasks.
Extensive experience in using various LLM/NLP models, libraries and frameworks (GPT-4, LangChain, LLama-index), Python ML frameworks (Pytorch, TensorFlow, Keras).
Passionate and excited about the use of generative AI and LLMs in revolutionizing the world of work, taking pride in developing tools with it that will solve real world problems and drive mass efficiency savings.
A quick learner, independent thinker, and creative problem-solver who keeps up to speed with the latest developments and research on LLMs, and adapt their work appropriately.
Experience with Cloud Management technologies and their associated technologies. Understand the implication of managing virtualized infrastructures and the orchestration of the underlying subsystems.
