We’re building AI-powered products, primarily leveraging off-the-shelf LLM APIs, while also partnering with our Applied Science teams to integrate custom models when needed. You’ll own end-to-end development of AI features—from prototyping to production—focused on reliability, accuracy, and scalable delivery.
What you’ll do
Plan and develop applications that include custom AI components (orchestration, evaluation, tooling, and integrations).
Build intelligent agents using LLMs and the MCP framework to enable context-aware automation and decision-making.
Automate internal workflows and operational processes using Python and AWS Lambda.
Develop and improve RAG-based chatbots to increase response accuracy, grounding, and consistency.
Collaborate with Applied Science teams to productionize custom models and connect them with product systems.
Design and maintain multi-agent AI pipelines, including fallback / graceful degradation strategies for reliability.
What we’re looking for
Strong Python engineering skills and experience delivering production systems.
Hands-on experience building with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and deploying AI features end-to-end.
Experience with LangChain / LangGraph, including:
Prompt Engineering
Token Management
Agent creation and tool-based workflows
Experience building agentic workflows (tool use, routing, memory, safety/guardrails), ideally with MCP.
Solid understanding of RAG concepts (retrieval, chunking, embeddings, re-ranking, evaluation).
Practical AWS experience, especially AWS Lambda, plus serverless architecture patterns.
Backend engineering experience covering:
RESTful API design, webhook integration, JWT
Testing with pytest
Observability/monitoring with tools like Sentry
Ability to own analysis pipelines, core business logic, and production-grade reliability.
Comfortable working in fast-moving product environments with high ownership.
Experience doing Git repository analysis (e.g., understanding large codebases, debugging, refactors, code health).
Nice to have
NextJS and TypeScript (frontend components + integration).
AWS CDK for infrastructure-as-code and deployment.
Broader AWS services knowledge for deployment/storage/DB/monitoring (e.g., S3, CloudWatch, IAM, API Gateway, etc.).
Experience with NoSQL databases.
Experience integrating or serving custom models (inference, model endpoints, monitoring).
Familiarity with evaluation frameworks (offline tests, human feedback loops, regression suites).
Strong software engineering fundamentals (testing, CI/CD, observability, performance).
