Job offer

Who we are

At Adastra AI, we turn cutting-edge AI technologies into real business impact - from predictive maintenance, back-office automation, and manufacturing optimization to end-to-end AI Products, scalable Agentic Platforms, and forecasting ML ecosystems. We are part of the Deloitte Fast 50 and recipients of the Microsoft Digital Transformation Award, and we work with both startups and multinational enterprises in Manufacturing, Automotive, Banking, Insurance, Healthcare, and many other industries.

Your mission

You’ll lead small to mid-sized AI projects end-to-end, typically with one delivery team of 3–8 people, from the first scoping session to a solution running in production. You’re the person who keeps the project on track. You understand the technology well enough to talk to engineers and clients as an equal, and you know when to bring in an architect or a senior colleague.

Your main responsibilities

• Run delivery of AI projects: planning, backlog, sprints, scope, budget and risks.
• Turn client needs into clear requirements, and work with the tech lead on solution design and estimates.
• Support presales: scoping workshops, estimates and proposals, alongside our sales and senior delivery leads.
• Be the day-to-day contact for client stakeholders (product owners, IT and business users).
• Make sure the team delivers production quality: testing, deployment, monitoring and documentation.
• Support your team: give feedback, remove blockers and keep the energy up.
• Spot follow-up opportunities and help turn successful projects into longer partnerships.

Projects you’ll be working on

• AI Platforms: complex agentic ecosystems to enable GenAI and ML use cases, integrations to multiple platforms, governance and security, and legal compliance. Accelerated by our internal products.
• AI Solutions: custom end-to-end product delivery from PoC to scaled production.
• Industrial AI: production line optimization, predictive maintenance, quality detection with a scalable application layer.
• Logistics and Operations: intelligent planning, routing, demand forecasting, cost-to-serve optimization.

What we are looking for

• 3+ years in a technical role (developer, analyst, data engineer, or similar), at least 2 of them leading projects.
• You can read an architecture diagram, and you understand APIs, cloud and deployment well enough to challenge an estimate.
• Experience with at least one AI/GenAI project, or strong personal interest. You know what LLMs, RAG and agents are and where AI projects usually struggle (data quality, evaluation, hallucinations, model drift).
• Practical iterative delivery, combined with managing client projects with a fixed scope or budget.
• Clear, structured communication, both in meetings and in writing.
• Czech and English at a professional level; willingness to visit clients occasionally.
• Ownership and an optimistic, problem-solving approach.

Nice to have

• Certifications: PMP/PRINCE2/SAFe, etc.
• Data governance and security awareness (GDPR, EU AI Act, DORA)
• Hands-on familiarity with Azure/AWS

Why you’ll love it here

• Real ownership of your projects, with backing from experienced delivery leads and architects
• Mentoring and a clear path to Senior PM
• Hands-on exposure to the newest GenAI and agentic technologies, and access to our team of 80+ AI experts

Beyond the team and projects, you’ll enjoy

• Informal atmosphere and many company events like seminars, tech talks, hackathons, office lunches and breakfasts, yoga classes, and team-building
• Attractive financial compensation and career growth
• Modern office with a great view, excellent coffee, a wide selection of teas and other drinks + fruit and snack boxes full of goodies
• Location in the Prague city centre (Karlín) + possibility of a hybrid setup
• 25 days of vacation to start with + extra day of vacation every year
• Multipass card / Multisport card
• Discounts with our partners (whether it's electronics, culture, or services)
