About the role

You will design and ship production AI systems that real businesses depend on.

• Own the technical architecture for AI engagements from discovery through deployment
• Implement evaluation frameworks, monitoring, and ongoing tuning
• Lead AI governance conversations — guardrails, human-in-the-loop, risk mitigation

• Production experience with RAG, agent design, or tool-use architectures
• Strong TypeScript or Python; comfortable with cloud infrastructure
• Track record of shipping AI systems that handle real customer interactions
