Job description

What You’ll Work On

  • Building and scaling agentic AI systems that autonomously execute complex, multi-step workflows end-to-end
  • Designing AI orchestration layers, agent harnesses, tool calling frameworks, and execution pipelines for production LLM systems
  • Developing and deploying LLM-powered infrastructure including retrieval pipelines, memory/context systems, evaluation layers, and workflow automation
  • Building scalable backend services, APIs, and distributed event-driven architectures that support high-throughput AI workloads
  • Creating production-grade AI systems focused on reliability, latency, observability, and iteration speed
  • Designing integrations with external platforms, APIs, and third-party services to expand agent capabilities
  • Improving AI system quality through evaluation frameworks, prompt iteration, retrieval optimization, and human-in-the-loop workflows
  • Collaborating closely with product and engineering teams to rapidly prototype and ship new AI-native product experiences
  • Evolving platform architecture to support rapid growth, increasing workflow complexity, and new AI capabilities over time

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience building and shipping production software systems, at least 2 years of AI engineering experience
  • Strong backend engineering fundamentals with deep experience in Python
  • Proven experience building AI-native products, agentic systems, LLM workflows, RAG pipelines, or orchestration infrastructure in production environments
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, async processing, event-driven architectures, and scalable backend design
  • Experience working with modern AI tooling/frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, vector databases, workflow engines, or model serving infrastructure
  • Ability to move quickly in ambiguous 0 1 startup environments with high ownership and autonomy
  • Strong product instincts with an interest in building practical AI systems that solve real operational problems
  • Comfortable operating across the stack when needed, including APIs, frontend integrations, internal tooling, and user-facing workflows
  • Passion for AI infrastructure, automation, developer tooling, and the future of intelligent software systems
