AI Engineer

Take AI features past the demo — evaluations, routing, fallbacks, and cost you can actually measure.

AI integrationRemoteFull-timeMid to senior

The prototype always works. This role exists because the gap between a convincing demo and a feature a customer pays for is almost entirely operational: what it costs per tenant, how it fails, and how you know quality dropped before a customer tells you.

You would own that gap — building the evaluation harnesses, the routing and fallback logic, and the metering that makes an AI feature a product rather than a science project.

What you would do

  • Assess whether a use case is actually an AI problem, and say so when it is not
  • Design model routing and fallback so one provider's bad day is not a customer's outage
  • Build evaluation harnesses and quality gates that catch regressions before users do
  • Instrument per-tenant usage and cost, and keep unit economics visible
  • Own prompt and version management as a real engineering surface

What we are looking for

  • You have shipped an LLM-backed feature to real users and maintained it afterwards
  • Strong TypeScript or Python, and comfort working directly against model APIs
  • You can design an evaluation for a task where correctness is not binary
  • Clear-eyed about what current models can and cannot do reliably

Nice to have

  • Retrieval systems and their failure modes
  • Streaming interfaces and latency budgets
  • Cost modelling across multiple providers
  • Published writing or open source in the space
