AI Engineer (AI-Native)

We’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer who doesn’t just work with AI, they think in it. This is a role for someone who has internalized AI-first development patterns, builds with LLMs as a primary primitive, and can architect systems that put intelligent automation at the core rather than the edge.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build production-grade AI systems including LLM-powered pipelines, agentic workflows, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures
• Lead the integration of AI capabilities across products, from prototyping through to scalable deployment
• Evaluate, fine-tune, and optimize foundation models for specific use cases; stay current on the rapidly evolving model landscape
• Define engineering best practices for prompt engineering, model evaluation, observability, and safety guardrails
• Collaborate with product and platform teams to identify high-leverage AI opportunities
• Mentor engineers on AI-native development patterns and help level up the broader team

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years focused on applied AI/ML systems
• Deep hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.) and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar
• Strong programming skills in Python, TypeScript, or equivalent, we care more about engineering fundamentals than language loyalty
• Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), embeddings, and semantic search
• Proven ability to ship AI features to production, not just demos or notebooks
• Comfort operating in ambiguity: you can take a vague idea and turn it into a scoped, working system
• Experience with evaluation frameworks, A/B testing for model outputs, and monitoring for model drift or degradation

Nice to Have

• Experience with fine-tuning or RLHF workflows
• Familiarity with multi-agent architectures and tool-use patterns
• Background in ML engineering (training pipelines, model serving, MLOps)
• Contributions to open-source AI projects
