* Deploy large language models, vision models, and other machine learning systems in production settings.
* Design retrieval-augmented generation pipelines and semantic search infrastructure for unstructured data.
* Architect structured data systems, including query planning and semantic reasoning layers.
* Develop or integrate agentic systems that reason, plan, and take actions across investigative data.
* Keep pace with evolving AI models and infrastructure approaches, and drive solutions from idea through delivery.
What We're Looking For
* At least 6 years of backend engineering experience building distributed systems, including senior, staff, founding, or technical leadership work.
* Experience deploying LLMs, vision models, or other machine learning systems in production.
* Proficiency across multiple programming languages, including Python; experience with JavaScript or React is useful.
* Hands-on experience building RAG or similar pipelines for unstructured data and systems for structured data, such as query planning or semantic modeling.
* Experience with multiple infrastructure providers and a strong foundation in system security and resilience.
