⭐ Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLMs to lead the design, evaluation, and deployment of production-grade generative AI systems. In this role, you will own end-to-end LLM solutions, from prototyping to scalable production, while establishing best practices in evaluation, reliability, and responsible AI.
⭐ How will you make an impact?
- Lead the design and development of LLM-powered applications (chatbots, copilots, agents, internal tools).
-
Own and evolve the LLM evaluation (evals) strategy, including designing gold-standard datasets and benchmarks, building automated eval pipelines and scoring systems and defining metrics for factuality, grounding, robustness, and user impact.
-
Diagnose and resolve complex failure modes (hallucinations, retrieval issues, agent breakdowns).
-
Optimize systems for latency, cost, scalability, and reliability in production.
-
Mentor junior engineers and guide best practices in LLM development and evaluation.
-
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, data, and leadership to shape AI strategy.
-
Set standards for responsible AI, including safety, bias mitigation, and observability.
⭐ What makes you a great fit?
-
5+ years of experience in software engineering, machine learning, and applied AI with a track record of driving projects to completion.
-
Strong software engineering fundamentals (testing, modular design, dependency injection) in Python.
-
A track record of taking AI and LLM-powered features from initial concept through deployment and long-term production maintenance.
-
Experience implementing automated testing strategies for non-deterministic systems, and strong debugging and analytical skills for ambiguous model behavior.
-
A strong understanding of prompt engineering and prompt lifecycle management, RAG architectures and retrieval evaluation, and LLM limitations and failure patterns.
-
Solid experience in using Data Analytics techniques (SQL, analysis and visualizations) to inform Product decisions and delivery.
-
A heavy product mindset to deeply understand our product and our customer needs to design the right solutions for them.
-
Strong tech leadership and mentorship skills, and the ability to independently drive projects to completion.
-
Clear communication of trade-offs, risks, and system performance to stakeholders.
⭐ How can you earn extra bonus points?
-
Proven experience driving ambiguous projects to completion, mentoring teams, and communicating complex technical risks to stakeholders.
-
The ability to design robust, production-grade evaluation at scale using advanced metrics and statistical validation.
-
Deep expertise in model fine-tuning, adversarial red-teaming, and safety testing to protect the system from edge-case vulnerabilities.
