The Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer, AI/ML (Infrastructure & Platform) to build the foundational systems that power our next generation of AI applications.

This is a systems-focused role. You will design and build the platforms, abstractions, and infrastructure that enable teams to reliably develop, deploy, and scale AI systems — including agentic workflows, retrieval pipelines, and model integrations.

You will operate at the intersection of AI systems and distributed infrastructure, focusing on the “how” behind production AI: how models are orchestrated, how tools/skills are exposed and executed, and how systems are evaluated, monitored, and scaled in real-world environments.

Your work will directly enable product teams to move faster while ensuring our AI systems are reliable, observable, secure, and cost-efficient.

What You Will Do

Build core AI infrastructure

Design and implement platforms for LLM orchestration, tool execution, and agent workflows

Develop shared services and abstractions used across multiple AI applications

Build AI capability layers (tools / skills)

Design and implement tools (“skills”) that agents and applications rely on, including APIs, workflows, and integrations

Define clear interfaces for capabilities such as data retrieval, calculations, document processing, and external system actions

Build reusable, composable abstractions that enable safe and scalable tool usage across systems

Ensure tools are reliable, observable, and secure, especially when interacting with sensitive data

Enable agentic systems at scale

Build infrastructure to support multi-step agents (state management, tool routing, retries, failure handling)

Design systems where agents reason over and invoke tools/skills reliably

Create reusable orchestration patterns between models and capabilities

Develop evaluation and observability systems

Build frameworks for offline and online evaluation of AI systems

Implement logging, tracing, and monitoring for model behavior and system performance

Own reliability and performance

Design systems for high availability, fault tolerance, and graceful degradation

Optimize for latency, throughput, and cost across AI workloads

Build data and retrieval infrastructure

Develop scalable RAG pipelines, indexing systems, and data processing workflows

Own infrastructure for handling large-scale structured and unstructured data

Create internal platforms and developer tooling

Build tools, SDKs, and internal platforms that enable engineers to integrate AI capabilities quickly and safely

Standardize best practices across teams (prompting, evaluation, deployment)

Work closely with product and AI teams

Partner with AI Applications engineers to support production use cases

Translate product needs into scalable infrastructure solutions

Qualifications

A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience)

Strong software engineering fundamentals, including system design, distributed systems, and writing maintainable code

Proven track record of building and operating production systems at scale

Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, C#, and comfort working across a polyglot stack, picking up new languages and frameworks as needed

Experience building backend systems, APIs, or infrastructure platforms

Experience working with AI/ML systems in production, including LLM integrations or data pipelines

Experience designing or integrating systems with tool/skill abstractions (e.g., function calling, APIs, or capability layers used by AI systems)

Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with high ownership

Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points)

Experience building AI platforms or infrastructure layers (not just applications)

Experience with:

RAG systems, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector)

Agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LangChain, or custom systems)

Evaluation and observability tooling for AI systems

Experience designing or building tooling layers (skills/capabilities) for AI systems

Experience designing scalable distributed systems or platform abstractions

Experience with cloud infrastructure such as:

GCP (Cloud Run) or AWS (ECS, Lambda)

Containerized or serverless deployments

Experience with event-driven systems, queues, and async processing

Experience with MLOps, CI/CD, and production monitoring

Experience working in regulated domains (LegalTech, FinTech, HealthTech)

Familiarity with data privacy and security techniques (e.g., PII handling, redaction)

You Might Be a Fit If

You enjoy building systems and platforms that other engineers depend on

You think in terms of abstractions, capabilities, and reusable systems

You care about how AI systems behave in production at scale

You’re comfortable working across AI systems and infrastructure layers

You take ownership of ambiguous problems and drive them to robust solutions

You Might Not Be a Fit If

You prefer working primarily on frontend or user-facing features

Your experience is limited to experimentation without production systems

You are less interested in infrastructure, reliability, or platform design
