About the Team
The AI Group is building the foundation for AI across HiBob.
We develop the AI infrastructure that powers the AI experience throughout the product. We ensure the production AI platform is stable, reliable and secure.
Our mission is not only to build AI-powered features, but to enable every product team at HiBob to build reliable, scalable, and high-quality AI experiences.
We work with modern LLM technologies, agentic workflows, MCP, retrieval systems, evaluation pipelines, distributed systems, and production-grade AI infrastructure, deploying to production multiple times a day. What We're Looking For
