Job Level

About the role

  • Architect and scale the infrastructure that powers AI quality, reliability, and reuse across Lattice.
  • Design and scale an end-to-end AI evaluation framework spanning offline evals, production tracing, and human feedback loops.
  • Define meaningful performance metrics (task completion, hallucination, response quality, engagement, business impact) and build the datasets and automated scoring systems that prevent regressions.
  • Identify and quantify the drivers of agent quality improvement and set methodological standards for evaluation across the organization.
  • Architect reusable agent infrastructure (multi-turn workflows, LLM DAGs, recommendation systems, standardized topologies) using LangGraph or comparable frameworks.
  • Build and scale RAG pipelines, vector retrieval systems, and production-grade AI infrastructure with strong reliability, observability, and performance.
  • Make principled build-vs-buy decisions across LLM providers, agent frameworks, and evaluation tooling, balancing capability, cost, latency, and risk.
  • Engineer AI systems as reusable internal platforms that multiply product engineering velocity at Lattice.
  • Own projects end-to-end: scope, design, execution, and delivery.
  • Set technical direction for agent quality and evaluation strategy across Lattice engineering teams.
  • Lead rigorous discussions on AI system design and evaluation methodology.
  • Raise the AI engineering bar through mentorship, code review, and clear technical communication across engineering and leadership.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional experience writing and maintaining production-level code, with 5+ years in designing, delivering, and operating AI/ML systems in production.
  • Deep production experience with LLM systems (prompting, RAG, agent orchestration, evaluation frameworks, fine-tuning).
  • Experience building and operating agentic systems (multi-step workflows, multi-agent topologies) and managing their failure modes.
  • Strong command of AI evaluation methodology and statistical experimentation.
  • Strong system design judgment across scalability, latency, accuracy, reliability, and cost.
  • Production-grade Python (clean, maintainable, testable systems).
  • Experience with LangGraph (or comparable agent orchestration frameworks) and LLM observability/evaluation tooling (e.g., LangSmith).
  • Vector databases and retrieval system design (Pinecone or similar).
  • Experience operating AI systems in AWS or comparable cloud environments, including CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment workflows.
  • Familiarity with TypeScript is a plus.
  • Actively engaged in AI research and industry trends.
  • Nice to Have
  • Experience with RLHF, LoRA, or other model adaptation techniques.
  • Background in traditional ML and judgment in selecting ML vs. LLM approaches.
  • Experience with MLOps tooling (MLflow, DataDog).
  • Published research, talks, or open-source contributions in AI/ML.
  • Experience in HR tech or other trust-sensitive domains.
