Job description

We are seeking a Software Engineer, AI/ML (Infrastructure & Platform) to build the foundational systems that power our next generation of AI applications.

This is a systems-focused role. You will design and build the platforms, abstractions, and infrastructure that enable teams to reliably develop, deploy, and scale AI systems - including agentic workflows, retrieval pipelines, and model integrations.

You will operate at the intersection of AI systems and distributed infrastructure, focusing on the “how” behind production AI: how models are orchestrated, how tools/skills are exposed and executed, and how systems are evaluated, monitored, and scaled in real-world environments.

Your work will directly enable product teams to move faster while ensuring our AI systems are reliable, observable, secure, and cost-efficient., * Design and implement tools (“skills”) that agents and applications rely on, including APIs, workflows, and integrations

  • Define clear interfaces for capabilities such as data retrieval, calculations, document processing, and external system actions
  • Build reusable, composable abstractions that enable safe and scalable tool usage across systems
  • Ensure tools are reliable, observable, and secure, especially when interacting with sensitive data, * Build tools, SDKs, and internal platforms that enable engineers to integrate AI capabilities quickly and safely
  • Standardize best practices across teams (prompting, evaluation, deployment)

Work closely with product and AI teams

  • Partner with AI Applications engineers to support production use cases
  • Translate product needs into scalable infrastructure solutions

Requirements

  • A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including system design, distributed systems, and writing maintainable code
  • Proven track record of building and operating production systems at scale
  • Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, C#, and comfort working across a polyglot stack, picking up new languages and frameworks as needed
  • Experience building backend systems, APIs, or infrastructure platforms
  • Experience working with AI/ML systems in production, including LLM integrations or data pipelines
  • Experience designing or integrating systems with tool/skill abstractions (e.g., function calling, APIs, or capability layers used by AI systems)
  • Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with high ownership

Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points)

  • Experience building AI platforms or infrastructure layers (not just applications)
  • Experience with:
  • RAG systems, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector)
  • Agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LangChain, or custom systems)
  • Evaluation and observability tooling for AI systems
  • Experience designing or building tooling layers (skills/capabilities) for AI systems
  • Experience designing scalable distributed systems or platform abstractions
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure such as:
  • GCP (Cloud Run) or AWS (ECS, Lambda)
  • Containerized or serverless deployments
  • Experience with event-driven systems, queues, and async processing
  • Experience with MLOps, CI/CD, and production monitoring
  • Experience working in regulated domains (LegalTech, FinTech, HealthTech)
  • Familiarity with data privacy and security techniques (e.g., PII handling, redaction)

You Might Be a Fit If

  • You enjoy building systems and platforms that other engineers depend on
  • You think in terms of abstractions, capabilities, and reusable systems
  • You care about how AI systems behave in production at scale
  • You’re comfortable working across AI systems and infrastructure layers
  • You take ownership of ambiguous problems and drive them to robust solutions

You Might Not Be a Fit If

  • You prefer working primarily on frontend or user-facing features
  • Your experience is limited to experimentation without production systems
  • You are less interested in infrastructure, reliability, or platform design

Benefits & conditions

  • Build infrastructure to support multi-step agents (state management, tool routing, retries, failure handling)
  • Design systems where agents reason over and invoke tools/skills reliably
  • Create reusable orchestration patterns between models and capabilities, * Competitive salary.
  • Hybrid work in the New York area
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance options, with low-cost premium structures that demonstrate our commitment to offering great value to our employees.
  • 100% company-paid basic life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance.
  • 100% paid parental leave upon eligibility.
  • Company equity managed through Carta.
  • 401k with match and 100% vesting upon hire.
  • Flexible PTO in an environment where taking time off to relax or recharge is supported and encouraged.
  • Take time off for holidays-and yes, your birthday counts too. Celebrate, relax, and recharge without thinking twice.
