Job DescriptionJob Description

At MNTN, we put our people first, full stop. This allows our company culture to be defined by our team members, and their shared values, like trust, ambition, quality, radical honesty, and compassionate leadership. It's why we all really love working for the Hardest Working Software in Television (and also why we were named one of Ad 's Best Places To Work in 2024.)

We pride ourselves on bringing unrivaled performance and simplicity to Connected TV advertising. Our self-serve technology makes running TV ads as easy as search and social and helps brands drive measurable conversions, revenue, site visits, and more. It's what led MNTN to being named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2023. You can learn more about us and everything we do by visiting https://mountain.com/.

We're committed to innovation that empowers, not replaces. At MNTN, AI is a tool for growth, enhancing efficiency while keeping a people-first approach. Our goal is to streamline workflows and drive new solutions—without compromising the human element that makes our company great.

So if wanting to do more, own more, and make a bigger impact comes naturally to you, then you may be the person we're looking for to join us in our next stage of growth.

Are you passionate about harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to streamline business processes and enable data-driven decision-making? We are seeking an AI Software Engineer who will work at the intersection of software engineering and cutting-edge AI technologies—such as Large Models (LLMs), vector databases, and orchestration frameworks—to automate complex technical and non-technical workflows. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement AI-driven systems that optimize processes, enhance analytics, and deliver meaningful insights.What You'll Do

• Design and build AI-powered solutions that enhance automation, analytics, and decision-making.
• Develop orchestration and agent-based workflows using modern AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain) to handle repetitive tasks like data analysis.
• Integrate and optimize Large Models (LLMs) for various use cases, ensuring efficient prompts, context handling, and output evaluation.
• Leverage vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, Chroma) and relevant tooling to power advanced search, retrieval, and recommendation systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, effectively translating complex AI concepts for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Continuously enhance and refine AI models, pipelines, and systems to improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
• Implement best practices for version control, CI/CD, and testing to maintain high-quality AI-driven solutions.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, demonstrating strong organizational skills and a track record of delivering reliable, high-quality code.
• Proficiency in modern AI frameworks and workflows—experience with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Cursor, or similar. (No multi-year requirement needed, but proven proficiency is essential.)
• Experience with orchestrating LLMs and AI pipelines (e.g., LangChain or similar orchestration libraries).
• Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate, Milvus) and integrating them into AI-driven applications.
• Hands-on experience with SQL data storage and processing (PostgreSQL ).
• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, including containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Strong proficiency with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing practices.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to articulate AI-driven solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to orchestrate new codebases with AI to ensure accuracy, reliability, and alignment with business goals.
• A track record of translating business requirements into successful AI-powered solutions, from concept to production.

Nice to Have:

• AdTech experience.
• Google Cloud experience.
