AI Software Engineer (Senior to Staff Level Openings)

We are partnering with a fast-growing, well-funded SaaS company building AI-native software to modernize a complex, high-trust professional services industry. This team is embedding AI agents directly into real customer workflows, not building demos or research projects.

This is a hands-on software engineering role for someone who enjoys shipping production systems and is excited about applying LLMs, agents, and retrieval to real-world problems.

What you'll work on
  • Build and ship AI-powered features used daily by customers in production
  • Design and implement agent-based workflows that combine LLMs, APIs, tools, and structured logic
  • Develop Back End services that orchestrate LLM calls, handle failures, and ensure reliability
  • Build evaluation, monitoring, and feedback loops to improve AI systems over time
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and domain experts to translate real problems into working software
What we're looking for
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience shipping production systems
  • Comfort designing and implementing object-oriented systems end to end
  • Experience integrating LLM APIs into Back End services
  • Familiarity with agent workflows, tool calling, or retrieval-augmented generation
  • Ability to move quickly, make tradeoffs, and complete working solutions under constraints
  • Experience in regulated or enterprise environments is a plus but not required
Why this role
  • AI is core to the product, not an add-on
  • Clear executive buy-in and strong product-market fit
  • Opportunity to own meaningful systems from day one
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
