Title: AI Engineer (LLMs & Agents)

Location: Remote


Job Type: Contract (10+ Months)

Job Description:
We are looking for an experienced AI Engineer (LLMs & Agents) who is highly motivated, inherently curious, and relentlessly results-driven. Your core mission will be to deeply understand user workflows and design robust AI systems that automate those workflows using large language models and data-driven tools. This is a builder-focused role centered on software engineering excellence and rapid product delivery not traditional research or academic-style data science.

We highly encourage applicants with a portfolio of AI projects such as GitHub repos, blog posts, demos, or open-source contributions to apply. Please share links to your work!

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and deploy end-to-end AI systems, emphasizing LLM-powered features, tools, and agentic workflows

  • Write scalable, testable, production-grade Python code

  • Develop intelligent agents utilizing LLM APIs, tool use, memory/state handling, and vector databases

  • Work across the full tech stack: Google Cloud Platform (infrastructure), Snowflake/Elastic/PostgreSQL (data), third-party/local LLMs (models), and Slack/Streamlit/ChatUI (interfaces)

  • Continuously evaluate and implement cutting-edge AI methodologies

  • Build instrumentation for user interaction and feedback loops

  • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to define and deliver value-driven features

  • Effectively communicate system behavior and insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Required Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience building production AI or scalable backend systems

  • Solid software engineering fundamentals: clean architecture, testing, CI/CD, version control

  • Experience working in agile environments with daily standups and sprint reviews

  • In-depth understanding of LLMs, transformer architecture, prompt engineering, and LLM evaluation

  • Proficiency with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral), open-source LLMs, and model tuning

  • Familiarity with agent design: token stream parsing, concurrency, memory management

  • Experience deploying with FastAPI, Docker, and Kubernetes

  • Strong Python skills (TypeScript or Go is a plus)

  • Hands-on experience with vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Weaviate, Pinecone, Elastic)

  • Proven ability to take ownership and drive projects from ideation to deployment

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in digital advertising and marketing tech

  • Deep understanding of modern DL architectures and optimization

  • Strong presentation and storytelling skills

  • Self-starter with an organized, learning-driven mindset

  • Collaborative spirit with a bias toward action and problem-solving
