Senior AI Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior AI Engineer to design, integrate, and optimize AI-driven solutions across our platform. This role will focus on integrating existing AI tools and services, enhancing data processing and analysis workflows with AI, and laying the technical foundation for advanced AI capabilities.

You will work closely with backend, frontend, and product teams, and over time, grow into an AI Lead position, shaping the long-term AI strategy and architecture.

Key Responsibilities

AI Integration & Architecture

• Integrate and orchestrate third-party and in-house AI/ML tools (e.g., LLMs, embeddings, vector databases, AI APIs).
• Design scalable AI-powered services that integrate seamlessly with existing systems.
• Evaluate new AI technologies and tools, and recommend adoption based on business impact.

Data Processing & AI Optimization

• Optimize data pipelines for AI-driven processing, analysis, and automation.
• Apply AI techniques to improve data quality, insights generation, and operational efficiency.
• Collaborate with data and product teams to translate business needs into AI solutions.

Backend & Frontend Collaboration

• Build and maintain AI-enabled backend services using Python, AWS, and RESTful APIs.
• Expose AI capabilities via well-structured APIs for frontend consumption.
• Work with frontend engineers to integrate AI features into React applications.

Scalability, Reliability & Security

• Ensure AI solutions are production-ready, scalable, cost-efficient, and secure.
• Monitor performance, latency, and accuracy of AI systems in production.
• Implement best practices for model versioning, observability, and responsible AI use.

Leadership & Growth

• Act as a technical mentor for engineers working with AI-related features.
• Contribute to defining AI standards, best practices, and long-term roadmap.
• Gradually take ownership of AI architecture and strategy, growing into an AI Lead role.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience in software engineering, machine learning, or AI-focused roles.
• Strong proficiency in Python, with experience building production backend systems.
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML integration, including LLMs, ML APIs, or AI platforms.
• Experience with AWS (e.g., EC2, Lambda, S3, SageMaker, or similar services).
• Solid understanding of RESTful API design and microservice architectures.
• Experience collaborating with frontend teams using React or similar frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of data processing, analysis pipelines, and performance optimization.
• Ability to design systems that balance experimentation with production reliability.

Nice to Have

• Experience with MLOps, model deployment, and monitoring.
• Familiarity with vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or agent-based systems.
• Experience optimizing AI cost, latency, and inference performance.
• Prior experience mentoring engineers or leading technical initiatives.
• Exposure to AI ethics, governance, and compliance considerations.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to build and scale AI capabilities in a real-world production environment.
• Clear growth path toward an AI Lead position with strategic ownership.
• High level of autonomy and technical influence.
• Collaborative environment working across backend, frontend, and product teams.
• Competitive compensation and benefits, commensurate with experience.
