Team, about the role
AI Platform is one of our most forward-looking teams. It owns the shared infrastructure and platform layer that AI work across the company runs on — everything from how LLMs are used and measured to the knowledge and retrieval systems built on top of them.
A large share of the work is data engineering, because there's a lot of information to move, process and make sense of: LLM usage and cost analytics (tokens, cache, spend), and applied systems like contextual knowledge bases and vector search.
Playrix works with roughly 7 petabytes of data.
