The Role

We are seeking a Senior AI / Automation Engineer to embed AI safely into real enterprise

workflows.

This is not primarily a chatbot or RAG role.

The successful candidate will combine strong software engineering with production

experience in LLMs, agentic systems, document intelligence and enterprise automation.

A core question in this role is:

What happens when the model is wrong?

What You Will Own

• Build production LLM and agentic workflow capabilities.
• Develop tool-calling agents that interact with enterprise APIs.
• Implement document extraction, classification and reasoning.
• Build retrieval/context-management patterns for enterprise knowledge.
• Integrate AI services with deterministic workflow systems.
• Implement structured outputs, validation, confidence thresholds and human review mechanisms.
• Build automated evaluation and regression-testing pipelines.
• Design guardrails and policy controls.
• Implement model routing and inference-cost controls.
• Monitor latency, token consumption, quality and failure rates.
• Design fallback behavior when AI cannot safely complete a task.
• Determine when deterministic software is more appropriate than an LLM.

Required Experience

• Strong software-engineering foundation.
• Production experience delivering LLM applications to real users.
• Strong Python development.
• API and service development.
• RAG, embeddings and structured/tool calling.
• Asynchronous processing and state management.
• Testing, observability and production error handling.
• Automated LLM evaluation.
• Understanding of context windows, model economics and inference cost.
• Experience taking AI systems beyond prototype stage.

Only successful candidates will be contacted
