We're growing our team in Poland and want to be upfront about how this role is structured. As we don't yet have a legal entity in Poland, we work with an Employer of Record (EOR) or umbrella company to onboard talent in the region. This means the role is offered on a fixed term basis via an international contractor agreement — and is fully remote.

Purpose of the job

We're looking for an AI Platform Engineer, someone who believes the ability to work effectively with AI should belong to every team, not just a handful of specialists.

This role is pivotal to how Collinson adopts and scales AI across our engineering teams. You'll build the platform, tooling, and practices that let teams deploy AI capabilities safely and effectively, laying the foundations for how we work with AI as an organisation, focusing on integrating AI within our Software Developer Lifecycle (SDLC).

We're early in our AI journey, so you'll operate with a degree of autonomy and ambiguity, working consultatively with teams to understand what they need and helping them get there. You'll be hands-on, educating, and surfacing the risks and opportunities that leadership needs to make the bigger calls.
