Full Job Description
The Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer, AI/ML (Full-Stack) to build the next generation of AI-powered applications. This is a builder role. You will design and ship production-grade, agentic systems that deliver real user value - not prototypes or demos.

You will operate at the intersection of AI, product, and full-stack engineering, taking ambiguous ideas and turning them into scalable, user-facing experiences. From document understanding to multi-step workflows, your work will directly shape how users interact with AI.

What You Will Do:
Own problems end-to-end
  • Take loosely defined ideas and turn them into shipped, production features
  • Make architectural decisions across AI systems, backend, and frontend
Build real AI products (not demos)
  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade systems leveraging LLMs
  • Own systems that handle real user traffic, constraints, and failure modes
Develop agentic systems
  • Build multi-step workflows with reasoning, tool use, and structured outputs
  • Design systems that balance autonomy, control, and reliability
Design AI-native user experiences
  • Build AI-native interfaces (agentic UIs) where users collaborate with AI
  • Implement streaming, feedback loops, and iterative workflows
Work with tools / skills (AI capabilities)
  • Integrate and compose tools ("skills") such as APIs, retrieval systems, and external actions
  • Design product features that leverage these capabilities effectively within agent workflows
  • Collaborate with AI Infrastructure to improve tool interfaces and behavior
Drive quality and performance
  • Build evaluation and feedback loops
  • Implement guardrails and monitoring
  • Optimize for latency, cost, and accuracy
Work across the stack
  • Backend services, APIs, data pipelines, and frontend experiences
  • Ship quickly and iterate based on real usage


Qualifications:
  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals (system design, data structures, clean code)
  • Proven track record of building and shipping production systems
  • Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, C#, and comfort working across a polyglot stack, picking up new languages and frameworks as needed
  • Experience building AI-powered applications in production
  • Hands-on experience with agentic or multi-step AI systems
  • Experience working with APIs or tool integrations within AI systems
  • Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments


Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points):
  • Experience building end-to-end agentic applications
  • Experience with:
    • RAG systems and vector databases
    • Agent frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, etc.)
    • Evaluation / observability systems
  • Experience designing AI-native UX
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure:
    • GCP (Cloud Run) or AWS (ECS, Lambda)
  • Experience with mobile app development (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter), especially AI-powered experiences
  • Experience in regulated domains (FinTech, LegalTech, etc.)


Benefits & Perks
  • Competitive salary.
  • Hybrid work arrangement in the New York area
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance options, with low-cost premium structures that demonstrate our commitment to offering great value to our employees.
  • 100% company-paid basic life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance.
  • 100% paid parental leave upon eligibility.
  • Company equity managed through Carta.
  • 401k with match and 100% vesting upon hire.
  • Flexible PTO in an environment where taking time off to relax or recharge is supported and encouraged.
  • Take time off for holidays-and yes, your birthday counts too. Celebrate, relax, and recharge without thinking twice.
