Job description

You’ll be part of a cross-functional AI task force reporting into engineering leadership, working closely with product, design, and infra. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role ideal for engineers who want to prototype, ship, and scale real features - not just build demos. You’ll split your time between user-facing copilots and the backend infra that powers them.

What You’ll Do

  • Build LLM-powered assistants to streamline domain expert workflows
  • Design RAG pipelines using structured and unstructured internal data
  • Develop internal ML tooling for versioning, observability, and orchestration
  • Tune prompts, build eval harnesses, and iterate based on real-world feedback
  • Contribute to platform components that enable scalable experimentation

Requirements

  • Ample experience in backend or systems engineering
  • Exposure to applied AI systems (LLMs, NLP, RAG)
  • Proficiency in Python; experience with distributed systems is a plus
  • Familiarity with embeddings, vector DBs, and prompt iteration
  • Ability to move fast and own projects from idea through production
  • Bonus: experience building eval frameworks or internal ML infra
  • Python, TypeScript
  • Prompting libraries, orchestration tooling
