AI Engineer

This is a full-time onsite position. You will work five days a week from our client’s office in San Francisco, collaborating in person with PMs, designers, and the GTM team to ship fast and stay close to the work.

This is a deeply technical role that blends ML, product thinking, and engineering. You will build and own production services that rely on LLMs and speech models.

What you’ll do

• Develop and own end-to-end AI applications across a range of workflows, from copilots to automation tooling and beyond.
• Improve our client’s LLM-powered platform, used daily by thousands of users.
• Build and optimize inference pipelines and real-time speech recognition systems.
• Collaborate closely with PMs, designers, and GTM teams to iterate rapidly and launch high-impact features.

• 3+ years building production AI systems, ideally in fast-moving environments or as a founder.
• Extensive experience with LLM inference (OpenAI, Anthropic, Llama, etc.).
• Strong product sense.
• Comfortable working across the stack (frontend, backend, etc.) to get features shipped.
• Obsessed with speed, ownership, and getting real user feedback.

This is a remote position, although Bay Area residents are encouraged to work from the client’s SF office.

Education

CS undergraduate degree from a four-year university.

Hard skills

• Able to work across the stack (frontend, backend, infra) to problem solve and ship features.
• Applied-AI literacy. Can reason about evals, statistics, and the non-determinism of LLM systems.
• Familiarity with SOC-2 or sensitive data pipelines.

Soft skills

Obsessed with speed, ownership, and getting real user feedback.

Traits to avoid
