About The Position

Veeam, the #1 global market leader in data resilience, believes businesses should control all their data whenever and wherever they need it. Veeam provides data resilience through data backup, data recovery, data portability, data security, and data intelligence. Based in Seattle, Veeam protects over 550,000 customers worldwide who trust Veeam to keep their businesses running. Join us as we move forward together, growing, learning, and making a real impact for some of the world’s biggest brands. The future of data resilience is here - go fearlessly forward with us. As an AI Engineer on the Veeam Data Cloud Intelligence team, you'll design and manage innovative systems that enable Veeam's customers to extract meaningful insights from their enterprise data, securely stored within the VDC. We’re building production systems that help to discover and understand data so as to make organizations more resilient. You’ll be asked to investigate best practices, rapidly iterate on prototypes, and then productize your work so as to have a clear impact across multiple Veeam services. Why this role is unique: Greenfield Opportunity: Many of our workflows, including secure semantic discovery at scale, are industry firsts. You’ll help invent and define them. The Data is Real—and Huge: You'll work with exabyte-scale backup data from some of the world’s largest enterprises. It’s heterogeneous, richly structured, multilingual, and full of opportunities for insight. Production AI, Not Just Models: You’ll be building end-to-end, customer-facing capabilities—not just research prototypes. These systems will be measured in uptime, relevance, and ROI.

Requirements

Strong backend engineering skills in Python and modern AI tooling (e.g., OpenAI APIs, LangChain, transformers, Azure ML)
Experience working with embeddings, LLMs, or AI-based summarization/extraction pipelines in production environments
Experience with prompt engineering and prompt tuning, including strategies to improve output quality, reduce hallucinations, and support structured responses
Awareness of jailbreaking techniques and adversarial prompts; ability to think like an attacker to proactively harden LLM-powered workflows
Exposure to agent architectures (e.g., Model Context Protocol, Agent to Agent)
Security-first mindset—comfortable building systems with RBAC, data boundary enforcement, and operational safeguards against misuse
Proactive in staying current with industry trends in LLMs, search, and AI infrastructure, and able to synthesize and share relevant developments with the team
Practical knowledge of cloud-based infrastructure, preferably in Azure (Event Bus Services, Blob Storage, Kubernetes, CosmosDB, Azure Open AI Service)
Strong written and verbal communication (English). Ability to collaborate with team members, flesh out solutions to ambiguous problems, and drive consensus

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with prompt evaluation frameworks or LLM observability tooling.
Experience working with RBAC-enforced, multi-tenant systems.

Responsibilities

Build and operate AI-powered services that summarize document content, extract keywords, and generate vector embeddings from backed-up data using cutting-edge services
