Senior AI Engineer — Talent Acquisition Automation

About the role

We're rebuilding interface.ai as an AI-native company — and that starts with how we hire. Your job is to take over our internal AI-powered talent acquisition tool, accelerate it, and turn it into a fully automated recruiting pipeline: AI-driven sourcing, automated screening, AI interviews, and candidate evaluation at scale.

This is a rare kind of role: applied AI engineering with a single, high-leverage internal customer — the company itself. You'll own the system end-to-end, work directly with our CEO Srinivas Njay and the talent team, and see the impact of what you ship in days, not quarters.

Areas You Could Work On

• Own and accelerate our internal AI talent acquisition platform — an existing, working tool that needs a dedicated engineer to take it from v1 to fully automated
• Build automated pipelines for sourcing, resume screening, and candidate evaluation using LLMs and agentic workflows
• Design and ship AI-conducted interviews and structured screening — conversational flows, scoring rubrics, and evaluation logic that recruiters and hiring managers trust
• Integrate deeply with our recruiting stack (ATS, scheduling, communication tools) so the pipeline runs with minimal human touch
• Own technical decisions end-to-end: architecture, data models, prompt and eval design, performance, and reliability
• Work side-by-side with the CEO's office and talent team — in the office, in real time, every day

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of software engineering experience (SWE II / Senior level) with production systems you built and owned, not just contributed to
• Strong applied AI/LLM engineering: you've built on top of LLMs, understand prompt engineering, evals, and agentic architectures — and know where AI adds value and where it doesn't
• Proficiency in TypeScript and/or Python
• Experience automating real workflows end-to-end — you think in pipelines, integrations, and edge cases, not demos
• Degree in Computer Science or related field from a top-tier program (we take fundamentals seriously)
• Self-directed and decisive: you identify problems before they're assigned, propose solutions before they're requested, and close loops without reminders
• Based in SF, committed to 5 days/week — the collaboration is real and intentional

Bonus Points

• Experience building recruiting, HR tech, or other internal tooling that people actually adopted
• Production experience with conversational AI, voice agents, or automated interviewing
