Job Description
The Role:
We're looking for AI Engineers who can help us build and scale intelligent agents from the ground up. You'll join our team as one of our earliest hires. You'll work directly with the founders (ex-Google) and own key technical decisions from day one. You'll be- Owning agentic AI strategy across the company's product suite; sets governance standards for agent evaluation, safety and autonomy.
- Working Directly with Customers Partner with technical and non-technical stakeholders at major credit firms to understand workflow pain points and co-develop AI solutions that directly tie to ROI.
- Owning Production Infrastructure Architect and maintain backend systems and APIs that connect to data sources and customer platforms. Ensure high availability, performance, and observability.
- Evaluating and Optimizing Systems Balance accuracy, latency, reliability, cost, and explainability in our agentic systems. Lead rigorous experimentation and improvement cycles.
