AI Engineer

Requirements

• Real depth in modern AI tooling: LLM orchestration, RAG architectures, retrieval systems, and knowledge graphs in production. This field is young (these tools are only a couple of years old), so we care more about how far you've pushed them, and how fast you learn, than about years on a résumé.
• Hands-on with agent frameworks and orchestration tooling such as LangGraph and DSPy.
• Strong engineering fundamentals and comfortable in a modern typed stack (we build in TypeScript + Node). You write production-quality code and think about reliability and scale by default.
• Genuinely excited by enterprise ontology induction, operational memory, decision patterns, agentic systems, and learning from operational exhaust.
• The kind of engineer who tests assumptions and shows up knowing more than we do about deep AI. You'll challenge our thinking and make the platform better for it.
• Intentional about your work and your career: you build meaningful, long-lived systems and stay to see them through, energized by the ownership and ambiguity of an early-stage company.
• A craftsperson and a colleague: low ego, high standards, excited to build alongside a small, senior, highly collegial team.
• Nice to have:
• Working familiarity with core enterprise business processes (Quote-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Hire-to-Retire) and ERP data, enough to understand what the platform is reasoning about.
• Semantic modeling, metadata systems, or business-context modeling experience.
• Deep familiarity with enterprise integrations (SAP, Oracle, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Snowflake, Databricks).
• Prior founding-engineer or very-early-startup experience.
