Job Description

About the Role

This is a mid-level AI Engineer position on the core product team at a pre-seed AI startup, building agentic systems that automate complex, multi-step workflows across regulated and enterprise domains. You will work across the full stack to ship production LLM-based services, own reliability and safety infrastructure, and collaborate closely with founders and design to deliver measurable user impact.

What You'll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain agentic systems that automate multi-step workflows across domains such as healthcare, legal, fintech, logistics, and compliance.

  • Own production retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and retrieval infrastructure, including vector databases, embeddings, and indexing for domain-specific search at scale.

  • Implement multi-agent orchestration, tool-calling, memory, and reasoning components to deliver robust AI-driven user experiences.

  • Develop evaluation and safety infrastructure to measure model performance, surface regressions, and enforce enterprise-level trust and reliability.

  • Ship full-stack AI products from MVP to enterprise-grade by designing APIs and data models, implementing frontend and backend code, and operating production systems with CI/CD, monitoring, and testing.

  • Collaborate with founders, product, and design to prioritize work, define success metrics, and iterate based on user feedback and telemetry.

What We're Looking For

  • 2 to 8 years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping user-facing or backend products, ideally in a startup environment.

  • Hands-on production experience deploying LLM-based services, including prompt design, orchestration, and tool integration.

  • Full-stack proficiency in Python and TypeScript/React (or equivalent), plus experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP) and relational or NoSQL databases.

  • Working knowledge of RAG patterns, vector databases, embeddings, and retrieval pipelines, with sound judgment on when to apply each.

  • Experience building automated tests, evaluations, and monitoring for AI systems to ensure production reliability beyond demos.

  • Familiarity with agent or workflow frameworks such as LangGraph or CrewAI, and orchestration tools such as Temporal or Trigger.

  • Background in multi-tenant or enterprise-ready systems, or experience in regulated industries such as healthcare, fintech, or legal.

  • Experience designing API-driven, high-throughput systems and real-time product features.

  • An ownership mindset: comfortable delivering end-to-end features from data model to deployment and monitoring.
