Job summary

vibehackers is seeking a Senior AI Engineer to embed with product teams and build agentic automations and internal tooling that accelerate Product, Product Marketing, and Design. You will prototype quickly, ship production-grade AI agents using Python or TypeScript, and maintain reusable components that scale across teams.

The role is fully remote with async-first collaboration, strong ownership, and overlap hours as needed.

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering experience in Python or TypeScript and shipping production code.
• High AI fluency; experience building agentic solutions using frontier models and techniques including MCP, retrieval, evals, and observability.
• Daily use of AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor).
• Experience translating requirements from non-engineers and designing adoptable solutions.
• Judgment about appropriate AI application and ability to own problems end-to-end with minimal direction.

Responsibilities

• Build agentic solutions, automations, and internal apps used by non-engineering teams.
• Turn ideas into working prototypes and deliver same-day production fixes when needed.
• Ship production-quality code in Python or TypeScript, not just wiring workflows.
• Create reusable components to speed future builds and reduce duplication.
• Provide teams access to customer insight and underlying data through the tools built.

About the Role

Senior AI Engineer focused on building agentic automations and internal tooling that accelerate Product, Product Marketing, and Design. The role embeds with product teams to prototype, ship, and maintain production-grade AI agents and automations using Python or TypeScript and AI-assisted tooling.

Job Description

Role

As a Senior AI Engineer (AI Automation) you will embed with Product, Product Marketing, and Design to build agents, automations, and apps that remove repetitive work and surface customer insights. You will prototype quickly, ship production-grade solutions, and maintain reusable components that scale across teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Build agentic solutions, automations, and internal apps that non-engineering teams adopt and use.
• Turn ideas into working prototypes in hours and deliver same-day production fixes when needed.
• Ship production-quality code (Python or TypeScript) rather than only wiring workflows.
• Create reusable, maintainable components to speed future builds and avoid duplicate work.
• Provide teams direct access to customer insight and underlying data through the tools you build.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering experience in Python or TypeScript and shipping production code.
• High AI fluency; experience building agentic solutions using frontier models and techniques (including MCP, retrieval, evals, and observability).
• Daily use of AI-assisted coding tools (examples given: Claude Code, Cursor).
• Experience translating requirements from non-engineers and designing solutions they will adopt and retain.
• Judgment about appropriate AI application and ability to own problems end-to-end with minimal direction.

Team and Working Style

• The AI Automation Engineering team focuses on internal tooling and agents and is embedded with Product and Design.
• The team is globally distributed, fully remote, and async-first; work emphasizes high ownership and ambiguity.
• Communication is async-first (Slack and written documentation); the role requires roughly a 6-hour overlap with 8:00am-5:00pm PST/CT depending on team needs.
• No travel, no onsite, and no on-call expectations.

Interview Process

• Process typically includes a recruiter intro, hiring manager interview, 1-2 first-round interviews, a final hands-on case study/panel, AI skills assessment, leadership principles interview, and reference checks.
