Full Job Description
AI Software Engineer
How You'll Spend Your Time:
  • Apply agentic LLM patterns (tool use, multi-step reasoning, orchestration) to automate high-complexity tasks that previously required human judgment
  • Design and build GenAI-powered solutions for complex NLP tasks - NER, classification, information retrieval, summarization, and structured output generation
  • Build and maintain production ML APIs and data pipelines that deliver model-driven automation and insight into Numerator's products at scale
  • Work closely with MLOps engineers, product & engineering managers, and other teams, owning a large part of the process from problem understanding to shipping the solution.
  • Stay current with the fast-moving GenAI landscape and translate new capabilities into practical team impact
Skills & Requirements
What You'll Bring to Numerator
  • 2+ years of experience building and deploying ML or GenAI systems in production
  • Strong practical GenAI fundamentals: LLM APIs, context engineering, RAG, tool/function calling, skills, agents and evaluation methodology - you understand why these techniques work, not just how to call them
  • Data acumen: you can critically assess a dataset, spot distribution problems, and reason about how data quality affects downstream model and business outcomes
  • Product orientation: you engage with business context naturally, ask the right clarifying questions, and translate ambiguous requirements into well-scoped technical solutions
  • Solid Python and software engineering fundamentals - clean, testable code, REST API design, debugging, and familiarity with CI/CD
  • A genuine habit of self-improvement - you follow the field actively, experiment with new models and tools, and bring what's relevant back to the team

Extra, Nice to haves
  • Experience with agentic orchestration frameworks
  • Fine-tuning experience with modern techniques - especially applied to domain adaptation for NLP tasks
  • PyTorch or Hugging Face familiarity
  • Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks and a structured approach to measuring model quality
  • Inference optimization awareness - understanding latency/cost/accuracy tradeoffs for LLM solutions
  • Experience building and deploying robust machine learning APIs in production environments (ideally cloud-based environments such as AWS or GCP)

What We Offer
  • An inclusive and collaborative company culture- we work in an open environment while working together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs as they come.
  • Market competitive total compensation package.
  • Volunteer time off and charitable donation matching.
  • Strong support for career growth, including mentorship programs, leadership training, access to conferences and employee resource groups.
