  • Proven experience building or scaling production systems leveraging LLMs (retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning, or agent frameworks).
  • Strong software engineering background (distributed systems, APIs, data pipelines, or backend services).
  • Experience building LLM-based chat interfaces and implementing evaluation systems for conversational quality.
  • Experience optimizing conversational applications for low latency and high reliability.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, provide clear design guidance, and break complex problems into actionable tasks.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience partnering cross-functionally to deliver impactful features.
  • Comfortable navigating high-ambiguity environments, driving clarity and measurable outcomes in fast-moving settings.
  • Familiarity with LLM agent frameworks (LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, Semantic Kernel, etc.) and orchestration patterns.
  • Preferred Requirements :

  • Experience with classical NLP techniques such as sentiment analysis, translation, or token classification.
  • Experience fine-tuning LLMs for domain-specific applications.
  • Experience designing and maintaining large-scale Python codebases and contributing to shared technical standards.
  • Knowledge of retrieval systems, embeddings, and evaluation frameworks for conversational AI.
  • Exposure to multi-modal LLM applications (text + images, structured data, etc.).
  • Proven ability to influence peers through technical leadership, raise engineering quality, and foster a culture of learning and mentorship.
  • Prior experience bridging application engineering with AI / ML model integration and serving.
  • This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US offices or remotely in the United States.
