AI Talent Now job ZR 110 About this role We're looking for a Senior AI/ML Engineer to build the AI systems layer behind this company’s process intelligence platform. This is a full-time role for a senior applied AI engineer who cares about making AI behavior measurable, reliable, safe, and useful in production. Our dynamic client builds production AI systems on top of hosted frontier models from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. You will own the systems that turn messy enterprise data into structured process intelligence: retrieval, context construction, model/provider selection, structured extraction, evals, orchestration, quality loops, and monitoring. Requirements What we're looking for Must-haves 4-6+ years building production software, ML systems, or applied AI systems Production AI engineering: You have strong skills and experience building reliable, observable AI services and pipelines, including handling latency, cost, retries, failures, and debugging in production Practical LLM experience: You have hands-on experience turning hosted LLM APIs into product behavior through structured outputs, retrieval and context construction, tool use, or multi-step workflows. AI quality ownership: You can define what good means, build representative datasets and evaluations, diagnose failures in data or model behavior, and ship regression tests, guardrails, and fallback paths. AI evaluation and guardrails: Experience with golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, human review, regression testing, launch gates, hallucination reduction, constraint enforcement, verification, and fallback paths. Systems thinking: You can reason about pipelines end-to-end, from raw customer data to generated outputs and user-facing product behavior Pragmatic mindset: You know when to refactor vs. ship, when to build vs. buy, and how to manage technical debt intentionally Ownership mentality: You take end-to-end responsibility for features, from design through deployment and monitoring Comfort with ambiguity: You can turn a fuzzy product goal into experiments, implementation, measurement, and shipped improvements Strongly preferred Customer-facing communication: Clear written and verbal communicator with users/customers Retrieval and knowledge systems: Hands-on experience with embeddings, hybrid search, chunking, ranking, reranking, and assembling useful context from messy knowledge sources. Agentic workflows: Experience making multi-step, tool-using AI systems reliable when plans, tools, or intermediate outputs can fail. Document understanding: Experience extracting structured, trustworthy information from long or messy enterprise documents. AI-assisted development: You already use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, or similar to accelerate your work Nice to have Process mining, task mining, or enterprise workflow experience Multimodal inputs: Experience with documents, screenshots, video, transcripts, or mixed enterprise data sources Go or backend service experience Tech stack: Go, Python, PostgreSQL, Redis/Valkey, React 19 + TypeScript, GCP, Terraform, Docker, Datadog, GitHub AI stack Hosted LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), embeddings and retrieval, structured extraction, agent/tool-calling workflows, eval pipelines, and AI observability Please send your resume directly to caroline@aitalentnow.com
