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
