Lead AI Engineer (Automation & Agent Systems)
We have already started integrating AI into our workflows and are seeing strong results: improved speed, better quality, and reduced routine workload.
The next step is to scale this across the entire company.
We are looking for someone who will take ownership of this direction and drive it across technology, business, and practical implementation.
This role is designed for a strong senior individual contributor / tech lead who can not only build AI solutions, but also understand where they create real value, how to embed them into real workflows, and how to scale them across multiple business functions.
What you will be doing:
AI Solutions & Delivery
- Deliver priority AI initiatives together with teams and business leaders
- Design and launch agent-based workflows and internal AI tools
- Translate business needs into concrete technical solutions and production-ready implementations
- Partner with business stakeholders to shape and prioritize AI initiatives with real operational impact
Architecture & Orchestration
- Develop and evolve a shared framework for AI agent orchestration and automation workflows
- Design reusable components, integrations, connectors, and internal tooling
- Define scalable approaches for rolling out AI solutions across the company
- Ensure solutions are practical, reliable, and usable in real operating environments
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work directly with leaders across functions
- Assess feasibility, constraints, risks, and expected impact of AI initiatives
- Help the business understand what should be automated and what should not
- Act as a technical AI partner across the organization
Enablement & Best Practices
- Build templates, scripts, connectors, and tools that teams can use independently
- Share knowledge and enable teams to adopt AI more systematically
- Establish internal best practices and standards for working with AI agents
- Stay up to date with new models, tools, and approaches — and evaluate what is worth adopting
Metrics & Business Impact
- Define success criteria for AI initiatives together with business stakeholders
- Measure the impact of AI solutions: before vs after (speed, quality, throughput, error reduction, cost efficiency)
- Conduct ROI analysis and communicate it clearly to the business
- Provide regular reporting on impact, adoption, and key improvements
What we want to see:
- Proven experience delivering AI solutions end-to-end in production environments: from identifying use cases to building and deploying solutions used in real business processes
- Strong hands-on approach: you personally design and implement solutions (not just coordinate teams or manage delivery)
- Background in software engineering, platform engineering, DevOps/SRE, or a related technical field
- Practical experience with AI/LLM solutions, agent-based systems, or automation workflows
- Ability to build real, working systems — not just experiment with tools
- Strong systems thinking and ability to understand processes end-to-end
- High level of autonomy and ownership
- Ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
- Willingness to work across different domains
- Pragmatic approach: ability to ship solutions quickly and improve them iteratively (speed over perfection)
- Native Russian language, good working level of English
Additionally, it would be great to have:
- Experience with agent orchestration frameworks
- Experience building internal tooling and reusable automation layers
- Experience in fast-growing product companies
- Understanding of gamedev production pipelines
- Experience working with business metrics and ROI
Why This Role Is Interesting
- Full ownership of AI direction at the company level
- Work at the intersection of engineering, AI, and business
- Direct impact on how different teams operate
- Opportunity to build solutions that genuinely change how work is done
- High level of autonomy and speed of execution
