About the role

  • We are looking for an Applied AI Engineer who can turn AI capability into secure, measurable, governed production systems, not prototypes or demos.
  • This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, product experience, AI platform engineering, and responsible AI.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, deploy, and support production-grade agentic AI systems that operate against explicit goals, constraints, policies, and guardrails.
  • Build agent orchestration patterns for multi-step workflows, tool calling, MCP servers, state management, memory, retries, recovery paths, and human-in-the-loop controls.
  • Partner closely with Product, UX, Design, Architecture, Security, and Engineering teams to create AI experiences that are useful, understandable, reliable, and aligned with real user workflows.
  • Design user-centered AI interactions, including conversational flows, feedback loops, confidence handling, explainability, graceful failure modes, escalation paths, and clear boundaries for autonomous behavior.
  • Define and implement evaluation frameworks for AI systems, including offline test sets, regression suites, adversarial testing, groundedness and faithfulness scoring, task completion metrics, and production quality monitoring.
  • Optimize model selection, prompts, context windows, caching, routing, inference patterns, latency, throughput, reliability, and cost across production workloads.
  • Mentor engineers on applied AI practices, including prompt and context engineering, agent design, RAG, evaluation, safety, observability, and production support.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong Python proficiency
  • 1+ years hands-on experience with agentic frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent)
  • AI observability experience with OpenTelemetry, Langfuse, or equivalent
