We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Staff AI Engineer to serve as the technical anchor for our AI capabilities; someone who is deeply passionate about building, prototyping, and scaling modern AI/LLM systems, while helping shape our broader AI engineering strategy.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for a senior builder who excels at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technologies (Agentic frameworks, LLM orchestration, MCP, GenAI) and production-grade software engineering.
