EngineeringFull-time

About the role

Zof AI is seeking a Generative AI Engineer to build product features on top of frontier model APIs. This role owns the model-facing layer of our products: retrieval and RAG pipelines, agent planning and orchestration, multi-agent frameworks, and the context engineering that makes AI systems reliable in production. If you have worked as a GenAI Engineer, LLM Engineer, RAG Engineer, or Algorithm Engineer, this is that discipline at Zof AI. The ideal candidate has shipped LLM-powered features to real users and treats quality, cost, and latency as engineering constraints, not afterthoughts.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build product features on top of frontier model APIs.
  • Build and tune retrieval and RAG pipelines end to end.
  • Design agent planning, tool use, and multi-agent orchestration.
  • Own prompt and context engineering as a disciplined, tested practice.
  • Wire evals into the development loop so quality is measured, not assumed.
  • Optimize the cost, quality, and latency of AI features in production.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering to ship reliably and fast.
  • Own model-layer systems from design through production.

Requirements

  • Experience shipping LLM-powered features to production.
  • Strong software engineering foundation.
  • Working knowledge of retrieval, RAG, and agent patterns.
  • Fluency with the modern model API and tooling ecosystem.
  • Judgment about quality, cost, and latency trade-offs.
  • Clear written and verbal communication.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment.
  • Evidence of building high-quality technical work.

Nice to have

  • Experience with multi-agent frameworks or agent orchestration systems.
  • Experience building or using eval harnesses.
  • Experience with TypeScript, Python, Node.js, Postgres, or similar technologies.
  • Experience with fine-tuning or model adaptation.

Benefits

  • MacBook Pro
  • Premium AI development tools
  • Cursor Ultra
  • Claude Code Ultra
  • OpenAI Codex Max or equivalent advanced AI
