Develop production-grade LLM infrastructure for evaluation, observability, context construction, structured outputs, failure handling, and monitoring.
Work with clients and domain experts to identify automation opportunities and turn them into production features.
Partner with the CTO to take end-to-end ownership of platform areas and deliver solutions with minimal specification.

One to three years of experience as a software engineer, founding engineer, or founding AI engineer.
Strong backend engineering skills in Python, with experience building and owning production software in a high-stakes B2B environment.
Experience building LLM agents, tool-calling systems, multi-step AI workflows, and reliable agent architectures, including context management and nondeterminism.
Understanding of retrieval-augmented generation and experience building B2B AI products or document-processing systems at scale.
Experience designing relational data models for complex, hierarchical data, such as documents, versions, entities, and relationships.
Familiarity with TypeScript, React, and AWS.
