AI in this role
DATA SCIENTIST / AI ENGINEER / MLOPS ENGINEER
AI INFUSED. THE FUTURE IS BUILT, NOT JUST IMAGINED.
Location: Kraków, Poland
WHY JOIN CAPCO?
You’ll join an environment where AI meets real-world transformation.
At Capco, you can work with talented people across engineering, data, architecture, and financial services while solving challenging problems for leading organizations.
You’ll have the opportunity to experiment, build, scale, and influence how AI is applied in practice — whether your passion is creating intelligent models, engineering AI products, or building the platforms that make AI reliable at scale.
If you see yourself as a Data Scientist, AI Engineer, MLOps Engineer — or somewhere at the intersection of all three — we want to hear from you.
ABOUT US
At Capco Poland, we’re not just another consultancy — we’re helping shape the future of financial services through technology, data, and AI.
As a global technology and management consultancy, we partner with leading organizations across banking, payments, capital markets, wealth, and asset management, helping them solve complex challenges and turn ambitious ideas into real-world solutions.
Our culture is fast-moving, flexible, collaborative, and entrepreneurial. We encourage people to challenge the status quo, experiment with new technologies, and take ownership of what they build.
As we continue to scale our AI capabilities, we’re looking for talented professionals across Data Science, AI Engineering, and MLOps who want to design, build, and operationalize the next generation of intelligent solutions.
You don’t need to fit neatly into one box. Whether your strengths lie in developing models, engineering AI applications, or building the platforms that bring AI into production, we’d like to hear from you.
HOW YOU WILL MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN
Depending on your experience and area of expertise, you will have the opportunity to:
-
Design, develop, and productionize innovative AI and machine learning solutions addressing real business challenges.
-
Explore and implement modern approaches across Machine Learning, Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and intelligent automation.
-
Build robust AI applications and services using Python, APIs, microservices, and cloud-native technologies.
-
Develop reusable AI/ML libraries, frameworks, components, and common assets that accelerate AI adoption at scale.
-
Design and maintain ML and AI pipelines, supporting the full lifecycle from experimentation and training to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
-
Build scalable, resilient, secure, and maintainable systems capable of supporting production-grade AI workloads.
-
Apply modern MLOps, DevOps, and software engineering practices to AI solutions.
-
Work with Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, model registries, monitoring, and automation tooling.
-
Collaborate with engineers, data scientists, architects, business stakeholders, and client teams to turn ideas and prototypes into reliable solutions.
-
Help define and promote engineering standards, architectural principles, reusable patterns, and best practices for AI development.
-
Stay close to emerging AI technologies and evaluate where they can create meaningful value for our clients.
WHAT MAKES YOU AWESOME
We’re interested in different AI profiles, so we don’t expect every candidate to have experience in everything listed below.
We’re looking for people who bring a strong combination of skills across one or more of these areas:
Data Science & Machine Learning
-
Practical experience developing and evaluating machine learning, statistical, or AI models.
-
Strong Python skills and experience with the modern data science and ML ecosystem.
-
Understanding of model development, experimentation, feature engineering, validation, and performance evaluation.
-
Experience taking ML solutions beyond experimentation and into real-world applications is highly valued.
AI Engineering
-
Strong Python and software engineering skills, including clean code, testing, design patterns, and architectural principles.
-
Experience building AI-powered applications, services, or platforms.
-
Knowledge of API design, microservices, distributed systems, or cloud-native application development.
-
Hands-on exposure to Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, agents, or related AI architectures and frameworks is a strong advantage.
MLOps & AI Platforms

Questions you could be asked
- How would you design a retrieval step so the model answers from real data instead of guessing?
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- How do you monitor a model once it's live, and how do you know it needs retraining?
- Tell me about a workflow you automated with AI tools, end to end.
- Walk me through how you've used LangChain in your day-to-day work.
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: RAG, AI agents, ML Ops, AI Automation, and LangChain. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
