Senior AI Engineer

About the role

You will own AI features end to end, from the first evaluation harness to the system running in a client’s cloud. We build copilots, agents, and RAG systems for regulated industries, so correctness, observability, and graceful failure matter as much as the happy path. This is a hands-on engineering role on a small, senior team. You will write the hard parts yourself, set the patterns others follow, and stay close to the decisions that determine whether a build ships or stalls.

Responsibilities

• Architect and build LLM applications: agents, tool use, retrieval, and evaluation pipelines.
• Stand up evals and observability so quality is measured continuously, not guessed at.
• Harden systems for production: latency, cost, prompt-injection, data leakage, and fallbacks.
• Integrate with messy client data and existing systems without breaking their controls.
• Set engineering patterns and review work across the team.

Requirements

• 5+ years building production software, with recent hands-on LLM/ML application work.
• Strong Python and TypeScript; comfortable across the full stack of an AI system.
• Real experience with evaluation, retrieval, and the failure modes of LLM systems.
• A bias for shipping something narrow that works over something broad that demos.
• Clear written communication; you can explain trade-offs to engineers and executives.

Nice to have

• Experience deploying into client VPCs / on-prem with SSO and data-residency constraints.
• Background in a regulated sector (finance, healthcare, legal, real estate).
• Open-source contributions or published technical writing.
