Full Job Description
Why This Role Matters
The AI layer is the beating heart of Ironflow. As our AI/LLM engineer, you won't just write prompts - you'll define how the system thinks. You'll architect the orchestration layer that enables streaming chat, multi-agent coordination, and backend execution across ERP workflows. Your work will determine how our software reasons, adapts, and collaborates with users - at scale, and in real time.
What You'll Own
Build the LLM orchestration layer using multi-agent frameworks
Design agentic workflows that track state, propose actions, and complete multi-step tasks
Create structured prompting systems with function-calling, memory, and safety constraints
Collaborate with frontend and backend teams to power natural language-driven UIs
Evaluate and integrate emerging frameworks for performance, safety, and extensibility
What You Bring
5+ years of experience in Python and backend development
Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and orchestration frameworks
Proven ability to design systems that combine tool use, memory, and autonomous reasoning
Bonus: Familiarity with FastAPI, GraphQL, or backend ERP workflows
Bias for action and a track record of shipping prototypes that evolve into production
Entrepreneurial spirit - you thrive in ambiguity, build from scratch, and think in systems
How We Work
We value autonomy, urgency, and ownership. Everyone at Ironflow moves fast, solves real problems, and holds a high bar for craft. We expect you to lead - not just follow - and to build systems that stand up to real-world complexity while staying clean and maintainable.
