• Partner with Engineering and Data to translate ambiguous business problems into concrete technical roadmaps.
• Drive AI engineering strategy across the stack, authoring RFCs and leading design reviews that raise the bar for the entire engineering org.

• Design and own end-to-end AI features: from prompt engineering and model selection through to scalable APIs and responsive front-end surfaces.
• Architect multi-agent and agentic workflow systems using frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or custom orchestration layers.
• Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines with production-grade chunking, embedding, indexing, and reranking strategies.

• 8+ years of professional software engineering with at least 2 years building production AI / ML systems.
• Expert-level proficiency in Go and TypeScript / JavaScript; comfortable owning the full stack from model to UI.
• Hands-on experience designing and shipping LLM-powered features including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and RLHF concepts.
• Deep understanding of transformer architectures, token economics, context window management, and inference optimization.
• Proven track record with RAG architectures, embedding models, and semantic search at scale.
• Strong grasp of distributed systems, API design, and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS)..
• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol), tool-use patterns, and multi-agent orchestration in production.
• Demonstrated ability to lead without formal authority, influencing direction through technical credibility and clear communication.
• Contributions to open-source AI projects or published technical writing on AI engineering topics preferred.
• Experience in regulated or enterprise environments where auditability, security, and compliance are first-class concerns is a plus.
