💡 The Role
We’re hiring a Senior AI Engineer to lead the design, development, and refinement of AI agent systems that power modern research workflows.
This role goes beyond building models — you’ll drive system-level innovation, mentor peers, and shape how our AI copilots tackle domain-specific challenges at scale. You’ll work at the intersection of cutting-edge research and engineering execution, ensuring reliability, robustness, and real-world impact.
🔨 What You’ll Build
Data Creation & Intelligence
Architect synthetic data pipelines to strengthen model performance on edge cases
Lead development of complex evaluation datasets (especially for DSLs) to systematically identify weaknesses
Build scalable systems for automated data verification and pipeline orchestration
Model Response Analysis & Monitoring
Define rubrics and frameworks for evaluating nuanced, ambiguous AI tasks
Build monitoring and optimization systems for continuous production feedback loops
Create tools that empower domain experts to collaborate in evolving datasets & model behavior
System Innovation & Scale
Research and implement novel approaches for long-context handling, cascading error reduction, and structured outputs
Advance prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and control techniques for greater reliability
Drive the design and evaluation of production-grade, agentic AI systems at scale
🧑💻 What We’re Looking For
Core Skills
Strong programming skills in Python (Go/JavaScript/TypeScript a plus)
Extensive experience with LLMs, synthetic data pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and system optimization
Deep knowledge of prompt engineering, fine-tuning, structured evaluation, and reliability techniques
Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills with a production-first mindset
Ability to communicate complex technical ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences
High ownership and leadership — comfortable leading projects, mentoring engineers, and driving experiments independently
Bonus Points
Experience with model monitoring, bias evaluation, or dataset management systems
Background in semantic parsing, DSLs, or structured-output models
Passion for pioneering reliability and control in agentic AI systems
Previous experience in zero-to-one or scaling-stage AI companies
