Job Level

About the role

  • Architect and build scalable, secure cloud-native services and Agentic AI workflows that run in production
  • Own the GenAI/ML architecture for production agentic systems: tool-use, orchestration, state/memory, routing, and multi-step workflows
  • Define model strategy across prompting, retrieval (RAG), and fine-tuning—making tradeoffs using measurable quality, latency, safety, and cost
  • Standardize tool/context integrations across internal systems using MCP-based patterns (or equivalent approaches), enabling teams to ship faster on a shared foundation
  • Establish evaluation + observability standards (regression tests, monitoring, feedback loops)
  • Set technical direction via reference architectures, best practices, and hands-on technical guidance across teams
  • Partner closely with Product, Security/Privacy, and Engineering leaders to deliver high-impact features

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or equivalent practical experience
  • 8+ years building cloud-native software in production (distributed systems, APIs, data-intensive services, reliability and operations)
  • 4+ years delivering AI/ML-powered system in production
  • Traditional ML cloud applications (training pipelines, deployment, monitoring, iteration)
  • LLM-based systems (RAG, MCP, Agent workflows, fine-tuned models)
  • Experience with MCP or similar standardized patterns for connecting models to tools and context
  • Experience with deploying and maintaining AI Applications in production reliably, monitoring performance, and improving over time
  • Proficiency in Python/TypeScript/Java with strong engineering fundamentals (testing, code quality, performance, security)
Benefits
  • Annual cash bonuses
  • Stock grants
  • Comprehensive benefits package
