Senior AI Engineer (Remote - US only)

Fully remote role; work from anywhere in the U.S. This is a senior engineering role at a privacy technology company, a B-Corporation whose products help organizations meet data protection rules and consent requirements. You will build and ship an AI privacy assistant that moves from early prototype to production use by real customers. The work centers on reliability, measurable quality, and trustworthy outputs, and the problems are often open-ended.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and maintain agentic, multi-step AI features from prototype through scaled production.
• Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that ground answers in verifiable sources.
• Add guardrails, observability, and structured outputs to LLM workflows, balancing quality, latency, reliability, and cost.
• Create offline and production evaluation frameworks covering accuracy, grounding, latency, and reliability, and use the results to decide what to ship or change.
• Work with product managers, engineers, and privacy experts, and write clear design documents.
• Apply privacy-by-design, data handling, and compliance practices across the AI stack.

What you need

• 5+ years of professional software engineering or AI/ML experience.
• Hands-on experience running agentic LLM systems in production with real users, not only prototypes or demos.
• Deep understanding of LLM orchestration beyond prompt engineering, plus proven experience building complex RAG systems and autonomous agents.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Concrete examples of taking ambiguous problems to working results.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States. Some interviews may be conducted in person.

Applicants must be based in: United States.
