Senior AI Engineer - Remote Opportunity

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to join our innovative team in a fully remote capacity. As a Senior AI Engineer, you will design and operate production AI systems that are integrated with core platforms, including agent workflows, retrieval strategies, and MLOps pipelines. This role emphasizes ownership of reliability, observability, CI/CD practices, and lifecycle management, making it a pivotal position in our organization.

What You'll Do

• Design multi-step agent/tool workflows with clear control flow, ensuring a separation between planning and execution.
• Select and implement domain-appropriate retrieval strategies, including hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vectors) and multi-hop retrieval.
• Implement safe rollout patterns, such as feature flags, canaries, phased traffic shifting, and automated rollback triggers.
• Deliver production AI systems that are integrated with core platforms (CRM/ECM) using high-availability patterns and graceful degradation.
• Define and enforce service-level objectives, including latency budgets, error budgets, and cost budgets.
• Apply threat modeling to agent workflows and retrieval pipelines, identifying risks such as prompt injection and data exfiltration.
• Ensure secure handling of sensitive data in retrieval pipelines, including PII filtering and audit-ready logging.
• Design human-in-the-loop escalation policies, including confidence thresholds and feedback loops.
• Own model lifecycle and operational fitness, including drift detection and retraining triggers.
• Mentor and coach team members while providing feedback to leadership on technical abilities.
• Build CI/CD pipelines for AI systems, ensuring data checks, evaluation gates, and release validation.
• Lead architecture reviews and integration planning, creating reusable components such as ingestion adapters and observability templates.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of engineering experience with demonstrated ownership of distributed services and production operations.
• Strong CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code experience.
• Experience in regulated domains involving audit trails, data lineage, and explainability artifacts.
• Proven ability to ship end-to-end AI systems that are reliable and integrated with core platforms.
• Strong knowledge of systems administration and Microsoft Operating systems.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.
• Self-motivated and organized, with the ability to manage projects independently.
• Attention to detail and discretion in handling sensitive information.
• Ability to coach and mentor team members.
• Up to 5% travel required.

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure.
• Familiarity with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
• Knowledge of data privacy regulations and compliance.
