Job description

Jeeves is the stablecoin-native banking platform for global enterprises. Thousands of companies across 35 countries run their corporate cards, payments, treasury and spend on one platform, with more than $5B in annualized volume, payouts to 190 countries, and one of the fastest-growing stablecoin payment networks in the world. BMW, H&M, Lululemon, Burger King, Kavak and XP are among them, and more than 80% of customers use multiple Jeeves products.
We chose hard problems on purpose.
Jeeves has raised more than $400 million in equity funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, CRV, Coinbase Ventures, GIC, AllianceBernstein, CoinFund and others.
If you want to rebuild how money moves across borders, come build it with us.
Jeeves is building AI into the core of its financial platform — from intelligent spend categorization and anomaly detection to LLM-powered workflows that help finance teams move faster.
We're looking for a Senior AI Engineer who is obsessed with building AI systems that actually work in production: reliable, observable, cost-efficient, and genuinely useful.
This is not a research role.
You will ship AI-powered features that process real financial data for real businesses.
You'll work alongside backend engineers, data scientists, and product teams to take AI from prototype to production — and you'll help define how Jeeves builds with AI as the company scales.
If you've built LLM pipelines, designed RAG architectures, operated ML systems in production, and care deeply about what happens when your AI makes a wrong call in a financial context — we want to meet you.

Location

This is a full-time remote position.

What You'll Do:

LLM & AI Pipeline Engineering

• Design, build, and maintain production-grade LLM integration pipelines — including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompt engineering, output parsing, and chain orchestration.
• Develop and operate AI features within Jeeves's core financial products: spend categorization, document extraction, anomaly detection, financial Q&A, and automated reconciliation.
• Implement structured output validation, fallback handling, and confidence scoring to ensure AI decisions meet reliability standards for financial use cases.
• Evaluate and integrate AI frameworks and tools (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI API, Anthropic API, HuggingFace, vector databases) and advocate for the right tool for the job.
• Establish prompt versioning and evaluation practices to ensure AI outputs remain accurate and consistent as models and data evolve.

Retrieval & Vector Search

• Design and maintain vector search pipelines using databases such as Pinecone, Weaviate, or pgvector to power semantic search and RAG-based features.
• Build document ingestion and chunking pipelines for Jeeves's financial data — processing invoices, receipts, policy documents, and transaction records.
• Optimize retrieval quality through embedding model selection, chunk strategy, metadata filtering, and re-ranking techniques.

ML Model Serving & Operations

• Collaborate with data scientists to take trained ML models from experimental notebooks to production serving infrastructure.
• Build and maintain model serving endpoints with appropriate latency SLOs, input validation, and output monitoring.
• Implement model performance monitoring and data drift detection to ensure production models remain accurate over time.
• Support model retraining workflows by designing clean data pipelines and feature engineering that can be continuously updated.

Backend Integration & Reliability

• Integrate AI services cleanly with Jeeves's backend microservices — designing clear API contracts, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation patterns.
• Write high-quality, testable backend code in Python or Go/Node.js to power AI-integrated features.
• Instrument AI components with structured logging, distributed tracing, latency dashboards, and alerting to ensure operational visibility.
• Build human-in-the-loop review workflows for AI decisions that require oversight — particularly for high-value financial actions.

Collaboration & Growth

• Partner with Product, Backend Engineering, and Data Science to define the AI roadmap and translate requirements into reliable systems.
• Contribute to a culture of quality by writing design docs, reviewing peers' AI system designs, and sharing learnings openly.
• Help grow the AI engineering practice at Jeeves by establishing patterns, tooling, and best practices that the broader team can build on.

Requirements:

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in fintech, financial services, or any regulated industry where AI reliability and auditability are critical.
• Familiarity with prompt evaluation frameworks, A/B testing AI outputs, and tracking model performance degradation in production.
• Experience with ML lifecycle management tools: MLflow, Weights & Biases, Vertex AI, or SageMaker.
• Knowledge of real-time data streaming (Kafka, Kinesis) for event-driven AI pipelines.
• Contributions to open-source AI tooling, published technical writing, or talks at AI/ML conferences.
• Prior startup or scale-up experience — comfortable with ambiguity and building foundational systems from scratch.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
