AI Engineer (LLM & RAG)

Build AI assistants and agents that answer from a client's own documents and work inside their tools, with the evaluation and guardrails that make them safe to use.

Apply for this role

About the role

You will design the AI side of our builds: knowledge assistants with citations, agents that draft and sort, and LLM features inside client products. We care more about an assistant that says 'I don't know' than one that sounds confident and is wrong.

What you will do

  • Build retrieval pipelines over PDFs, Drive, Notion and code with PostgreSQL and pgvector
  • Design prompts and structured outputs for Claude, GPT and Gemini
  • Create evaluation sets from real client data and run them on every change
  • Set cost and latency limits, caching and fallbacks between providers
  • Explain trade-offs to clients in plain language

What we are looking for

  • 2+ years of Python in production
  • Shipped at least one LLM feature used by real people
  • Understanding of embeddings, chunking and retrieval quality
  • Habit of measuring before and after a change

Nice to have

  • FastAPI
  • LangGraph or the OpenAI Agents SDK
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP)
