We’re seeking a AI Engineer to design and ship production-grade agentic AI systems that automate complex workflows end-to-end. This is a hands-on role with significant technical ownership. You’ll work closely with the Chief Architect, product, engineering, and domain experts to translate ambiguous, high-impact problems into reliable AI-driven user experiences.
What success looks like:
Ship AI capabilities that measurably improve user outcomes (quality, time saved, throughput)
Build systems that are reliable by design: evals, observability, safety, and cost/latency controls from day one
Iterate quickly using a tight loop of instrument → evaluate → improve → deploy

What You’ll Do
Agentic AI Feature & Workflow DevelopmentBuild and integrate AI-driven features using LLM APIs (OpenAI / Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini on Vertex AI)Design and implement tool-using agents (structured function calling, schema validation, retries, fallbacks)Build multi-agent workflows when appropriate (e.g., planner/worker, reviewer/critic, specialist routing) and know when a simpler architecture is betterCreate agentic workflows such as document understanding, extraction, reasoning over evidence, task automation, and multi-step decision supportOwn context engineering end-to-end:
dynamic context assembly (retrieval + state + tool outputs)context budgeting and compression/summarizationgrounding strategies to reduce hallucinations and improve consistencyImplement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and search workflows using off-the-shelf vector stores and embedding services Evaluation, Quality & Iteration (Core)Establish evaluation frameworks for accuracy, reliability, and output qualityBuild task-specific eval suites: golden datasets, adversarial cases, regression tests, and rubric-based scoringSet up automated evaluation pipelines and release gates (CI/CD-friendly) tied to prompt/model/version changesDefine and monitor online metrics (e.g., task success rate, human override rate, safety flags, latency, cost) and run experiments/A-B tests where appropriateUse LLM-as-judge responsibly: calibrate, validate, and pair with human labels when needed Engineering, Integration & Observability
Develop scalable backend services and APIs that incorporate AI functionalityIntegrate AI pipelines into existing cloud, microservices, and event-driven architecturesImplement observability and analytics for all AI features (tracing, evaluations, prompt versioning, cost tracking) Example tooling: Langfuse (and/or OpenTelemetry-compatible stacks)Ensure reliability, uptime, performance, and security of AI servicesBuild internal tooling for evaluation, testing, prompt/version management, and safe deploymentProduct & Collaboration Partner with product managers, designers, the Chief Architect, and domain SMEs to shape AI-first solutionsRapidly prototype concepts and iterate based on user feedback and measurable eval resultsTranslate business problems into well-structured AI workflows without requiring ML model trainingDocument system behavior, known failure modes, and operational playbooks Governance & SafetyImplement guardrails, checks, and fallback logic for safe and predictable AI behaviorHelp define and follow compliance, privacy, and responsible AI guidelinesDesign for safe tool execution (bounded actions, permissions, escalation paths, human-in the-loop review What You Bring
Core Strengths (Required)Strong software engineering background (Python preferred) and experience shipping backend servicesDeep hands-on experience building agentic LLM systems from first principles: agent loops, tool interfaces, planning/replanning, memory/state, and failure handlingStrong context engineering ability: retrieval strategies, routing, grounding, context budgeting, and long-context tradeoffsStrong evaluation discipline: golden datasets, regression gating, automated eval pipelines, and online monitoringPractical experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI/Azure OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini) and AI orchestration frameworksExcellent debugging, systems thinking, and problem decomposition skillsComfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high ownership Signals We ValueYou’ve shipped an LLM/agent system in production and can clearly explain:
