Senior Software Engineer (AI) - Remote Opportunity
About the Role
We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer (AI) to join our dynamic team remotely. In this role, you will design, build, and optimize applied AI systems that are used in real-world, customer-facing products. This is a fantastic opportunity for engineers who want to take ownership and make a significant impact in a fast-paced startup environment.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and optimize applied AI systems used in real-world, customer-facing products.
- Develop and iterate on multi-agent architectures that are reliable, scalable, and production-ready.
- Own AI features end-to-end, from early prototypes to polished production releases.
- Work closely with product, design, and engineering partners to ensure seamless integration of AI into the user experience.
- Tackle ambiguity head-on and drive projects from 0 → 1 in a fast-moving startup environment.
- Contribute across the stack as needed to bring features fully to life.
- Continuously evaluate new AI techniques and tools to improve system reliability and performance.
Requirements
- Several years of professional experience as a software engineer with hands-on applied AI work.
- Strong understanding of LLM behavior, limitations, and practical strategies for improving reliability.
- Experience building and shipping full-stack or backend-heavy systems in production environments.
- Comfort working in fast-paced startup settings with a high degree of ownership.
- Ability to clearly communicate technical ideas and collaborate cross-functionally.
- Passion for building high-quality, customer-impacting products rather than experimental research projects.
Nice to Have
- Experience with multi-agent systems, prompt or context engineering, or AI orchestration frameworks.
- Background working with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript) and backend systems.
- Familiarity with Python-based AI tooling and modern cloud infrastructure.
- Experience with strongly typed backend languages (e.g., C#, C++, or similar).
- Prior experience at high-growth startups or well-regarded technology companies.
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary range of $180,000 - $220,000, plus equity.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
- Unlimited paid time off.
- Paid lunches, team dinners, and regular company events.
- Relocation assistance available for candidates moving to San Francisco.
- Annual health, wellness, and education stipends.
- Opportunity to work onsite with a highly collaborative, high-caliber engineering team.
This Senior Software Engineer (AI) role is ideal for engineers who want to build real AI systems that ship, take meaningful ownership, and work closely with a talented, in-person team solving hard problems at scale.
This Senior Software Engineer (AI) role offers a competitive salary, remote work flexibility, and the opportunity to work on impactful AI systems.
