About the role
- Design end-to-end AI systems: combining LLMs, embeddings, retrieval pipelines, and structured outputs into reliable product features.
- Build grounding and retrieval layers: indexing docs, OpenAPI specs, and customer data to support accurate, context-aware generation.
- Define evaluation systems: measuring accuracy, latency, cost, and user impact; building feedback loops to continuously improve quality.
- Handle real-world complexity: malformed specs, inconsistent docs, edge-case APIs, and ambiguous user queries.
- Make architectural tradeoffs: latency vs. quality, cost vs. coverage, deterministic vs. generative approaches.
- Own production reliability: observability, fallbacks, rate limiting, and safe degradation when systems fail.
- Work across the stack: from model orchestration and backend systems to the UI surfaces that expose them.
Requirements
- Experience building with LLMs in production, not just prototypes.
- Strong JavaScript/TypeScript or Python experience.
- Experience working with:
- Embeddings and retrieval systems (RAG).
- Prompting and structured outputs.
- Evaluation and iteration of AI systems (quality, latency, cost).
- Comfort working with APIs and structured data (JSON, OpenAPI, schemas).
- Experience designing and shipping end-to-end systems, from backend pipelines to user-facing product surfaces.
- Strong instincts around when to use AI vs. deterministic approaches.
- Experience improving AI reliability, observability, and production readiness.
- Familiarity with real-world edge cases (messy data, inconsistent inputs, ambiguous queries) and how to handle them.
