    Job Description

    Position Summary
    We’re hiring a product-oriented Senior AI Engineer who loves tinkering with LLMs and shipping real agent systems. We spend less time on fine-tuning and more on orchestration, evaluation, and reliability—so agents do real work safely, quickly, and repeatedly.

    What we’re looking for
    • Agentic systems: Function/tool calling, multi-step planning, routing, memory, and retrieval.
    • Engineering first: You can wire up services, craft eval harnesses, and debug latency/cost at scale.
    • LLM breadth: Comfortable comparing models/hosts, prompt strategies, and guardrail techniques.
    • Product focus: You instrument outcomes, run A/Bs, and iterate to improve task success rates.
    • Opinionated: Deep level of understanding of the technological landscape, making both high level system and granular code design decisions based on understanding rather than preference - diving deep on unknown patterns in order to build the best product.

    Responsibilities
    • Design, build, and productionize agent workflows end-to-end (APIs, tools, evals, monitoring).
    • Create safety, cost, and latency controls; build dashboards and alerts for reliability.
    • Partner with product/design to invent new interaction patterns and ship them fast.
    • Document patterns and mentor engineers on best practices for LLM-powered features.

    Nice to have
    • Experience with workflow engines (e.g., Temporal), comfort in full stack engineering

    Logistics:
    • Compensation: $165K - $250K salary, $100K-200K equivalent in new hire equity (4 year vest) 
    • Location: New York City. We are a fully in-office team working out of Midtown Manhattan Monday through Friday. We allow for WFH days when anyone is traveling, but we do not allow for permanent remote work.
    • Benefits:
      • Generous health, dental, and vision insurance
      • 401k with 3% automatic contribution (no vesting)
      • Paid Lunches
      • Wellness and Citi Bike benefit
