You'll live at the seam between research and production — turning models, prompts, and retrieval into reliable systems users depend on. Less "train a model from scratch," more "make foundation models do useful work at scale, cheaply, and without hallucinating."</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What you'll do</strong></p>

<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Design and build LLM applications: RAG pipelines, agents, tool-use systems, structured generation, multi-step workflows</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own prompt engineering and evaluation — write evals before you write prompts, and treat both as code</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Integrate foundation models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, open-weight Llama/Qwen/Mistral) and know when to reach for which</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Build the unglamorous infrastructure that makes LLMs production-grade: caching, streaming, retries, fallbacks, cost controls, observability, guardrails</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Fine-tune or distill models when prompting hits a wall (LoRA/QLoRA, SFT, DPO)</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Partner with product and design on UX patterns specific to AI (latency masking, streaming UIs, confidence display, human-in-the-loop)</li>
</ul>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What we're looking for</strong></p>

<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">3+ years of software engineering, with at least 1 year shipping LLM-based features in production</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Strong Python and TypeScript; comfortable in a real codebase, not just notebooks</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Deep practical knowledge of the LLM stack: prompting techniques, function calling, structured outputs, context management, embedding models, vector search</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Have built and maintained an eval suite — and have opinions on why most public benchmarks are misleading</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Comfortable with at least one orchestration approach (custom, LangGraph, Inngest, Temporal) and one vector store (pgvector, Pinecone, Turbopuffer, Weaviate)</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Cost- and latency-aware: can read a token bill and a trace and know where to cut</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Clear communicator who can push back when "just add AI" isn't the right answer</li>
</ul>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Nice to have</strong></p>
<ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3">
