## Description

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer (8+ years) who combines strong software engineering fundamentals with deep, hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade AI systems. This person will act as a primary engineer, owning projects end-to-end while partnering closely with business stakeholders to design scalable solutions. They should have hands-on experience delivering sophisticated agentic AI systems in production, understand the underlying engineering decisions behind those systems, and be capable of independently designing, building, and scaling AI-powered applications from concept through deployment.
