- Orchestrate multiple models and tools to create reliable, multi-step AI systems
- Build the internal tools and infrastructure that power and monitor these agents
- Design and implement backend and frontend services, APIs, and data pipelines, integrating AI functionality into user-facing features when needed
- Contribute to system architecture and core platform design with the engineering team
- Design and maintain a suite of evaluations and benchmarks to measure agent accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness
- Optimize inference pipelines and backend systems for speed, scalability, and cost
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years in software or ML engineering post-BS/MS
- Hands-on experience shipping production AI/ML systems or AI-powered products
- Experience building multi-step ML systems, pipelines, or agentic workflows
- Strong backend and API development skills, with some frontend experience
- Track record of building reliable products with attention to quality and detail
- Startup grit and comfort in fast-moving, evolving environments
