AI Engineer

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Own AI products in production: stable, observable, with regressions caught by evals before learners find them
• ▹Take the next prototype from working demo to maintained product, with evals built in from the start
• ▹Design the context and tooling architecture for the agents: what is in context, when, and why
• ▹Build and maintain the service interfaces agents work through, such as the LLM's access to the learner's artifact window
• ▹Keep long-running, multi-step agents reliable under real-world learner behaviour, with clear failure modes and recovery
• ▹Build the habit of testing what you ship: eval loops, regression checks, and fast iteration

Requirements

• ▹Strong, production-grade Python and FastAPI experience with real users
• ▹At least one shipped AI/LLM application you can discuss in detail, including what broke and how you found out
