Job details

AI Engineer

We’re partnering with three fast-growing AI startups — all backed by top-tier investors and based in the Bay Area. Each company is building cutting-edge AI products with real-world impact in education, healthcare, and human productivity.

We’re looking for Senior AI Engineers to join their technical founding teams and play a pivotal role in shaping and scaling their AI systems. If you're passionate about deploying LLMs in production, working on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, and building scalable, real-time AI solutions, this is for you.

What You'll Work On

  • Build and optimize RAG agents using modern LLM frameworks

  • Design scalable APIs and services using Python and FastAPI

  • Work with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) and embedding models to enable semantic search and knowledge retrieval

  • Query and manipulate structured data using SQL

  • Integrate and fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) for product use cases

  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship AI-powered features in rapid development cycles

  • Contribute to MLOps pipelines and best practices for deploying and monitoring models in production

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in backend engineering or applied ML, preferably at a startup or fast-moving environment

  • Strong experience with Python, FastAPI, and RESTful APIs

  • Hands-on experience with RAG architectures, vector databases, and LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.)

  • Solid understanding of embedding models, prompt engineering, and semantic search

  • Comfort working with SQL and structured datasets

  • Strong product intuition and the ability to work autonomously on 0→1 projects

  • Bonus: Experience with LangChain, Haystack, or similar frameworks
