Description
Faros AI
AI Engineering Tech Lead
Full-time Hybrid San Mateo, CA San Francisco Bay Area $210K - $250K
About this role
Mission
At Faros AI, we are reshaping the way engineering organizations operate, with an
engineering intelligence platform that provides visibility and context across the
organization's software delivery systems. This deep operational context supports
engineering leaders today, and is increasingly essential as AI agents begin to operate
within real software delivery environments. Faros AI is laying the foundation for how
humans and AI will build software together in the years ahead.
About the Role
Join our AI team to build Lighthouse AI - the intelligence engine that helps
engineering leaders understand why their teams perform the way they do and improve
performance in an age where AI is redefining the engineering craft. You'll work on
natural language interfaces, causal analysis models, and ML-driven insights that impact
how thousands of engineers work at companies like Autodesk, Discord, and Vimeo.
Responsibilities
Collaborate with product, data, and engineering teams to define, design, and
integrate AI features seamlessly into the user experience.
Build and maintain scalable ML pipelines and infrastructure balancing speed,
flexibility, security, and scalability.
Build and optimize LLM-powered features including natural language query
generation, data summarization, and data exploration tools.
Design and implement prompt engineering strategies, evaluation frameworks, and
iterate on model performance.
Fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) or custom architectures for performance,
latency, and cost-efficiency.
Stay up-to-date with the latest research (e.g., papers from NeurIPS, ICML) and
identify opportunities to apply state-of-the-art techniques to business problems.
What We Value
1. Living by our values over avoiding con icts
– We speak honestly, act transparently, and stay true to our principles, especially
when it’s difficult.
2. Daring to be great over eliminating weaknesses
– We win by excelling at what matters most, not by imitating or outdoing
competitors.
3. Moving fast over perfection
– We value learning, iteration, and agility more than waiting for “perfect.”
4. Individual responsibility over process
– We trust you to own outcomes, make thoughtful decisions, and be accountable
for results.
5+ years of experience
with a focus on AI and ML engineering
