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
