- Develop infrastructure for prompt orchestration, memory, retrieval, and contextual personalization
- Build internal tools and user-facing product features powered by LLMs and agents
- Design evaluation and monitoring systems for workflow quality, reliability, latency, and production readiness
- Improve developer velocity through strong abstractions, automation, and AI-native tooling
- Rapidly prototype and ship new AI-driven product capabilities
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building production software systems
- Strong backend engineering skills, including APIs, data pipelines, and system design
