• Hands-on LangFuse—tracing, evaluation, prompt management, and dataset-driven testing.
• Proficiency with agent harness frameworks such as LangChain or similar (LlamaIndex, CrewAI) — composing chains, tools, memory, and retrieval pipelines.
• Deep Python proficiency and strong engineering fundamentals (testing, CI/CD, architecture).
• Cloud AI deployment experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) including containerization and inference cost management.
• RAG architecture knowledge— vector databases, embedding models, and retrieval strategies.
• B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Write and ship production AI code daily — you are an active contributor.
• Architect agentic AI workflows using LangGraph, Temporal, Pydantic — stateful, multi-agent workflows at enterprise scale.
• Own AI observability via LangFuse: tracing, prompt versioning, evaluation, and performance benchmarking across all model interactions.
• Set AI engineering standards for agent design patterns, RAG, prompt management, context optimization, and tool-calling strategies.
• Partner with product and platform teams to deliver AI architectures that meet enterprise SLA, security, and compliance requirements.
• Evaluate and adopt emerging tooling — benchmarking LLM providers, orchestration frameworks, and agentic stack improvements.
• Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and design discussions.
