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
