Senior AI Engineer

As a Senior AI Engineer, you'll drive intelligent features that redefine how users build automations. You'll build AI-powered capabilities, from natural language input to smart suggestions, that make creating workflows faster and more intuitive.

You'll collaborate across engineering, product, and design to bring generative AI and LLM-based enhancements into the core user experience. You'll improve existing AI integrations, develop new ones, and shape how AI powers our product.

You’ll work across the entire AI feature lifecycle:

• Architect and implement AI-powered capabilities: code generation, intelligent node creation, and workflow optimization
• Integrate LLM APIs and embedding models for text-to-workflow and natural language code suggestions
• Design and iterate on prompts to improve model output and user experience
• Build internal tooling, evaluation benchmarks, and automated testing for AI components
• Collaborate closely with other engineers to ensure AI features are reliable, performant, and scalable
• Balance experimentation with impact: ship quickly while focusing on user value
• Stay current with advances in LLMs, prompt frameworks, and developer tools - and bring those insights into our roadmap

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience building web-based products, ideally in B2B SaaSstartups
• Strong fullstack development skills with TypeScript, Node.js, and API design
• Proven track record shipping AI-powered features in production with LLM APIs(OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and understanding of how to translate machine intelligence into user value. We're looking for experience building end-to-end systems.
• Deep understanding of AI fundamentals: agent architectures, chat completion roles, embedding vectors, vector databases, and chunking strategies
• Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, embedding models, and vector stores
• A user-focused mindset: you care about delivering features that solve real problems
• A bias for shipping and learning - fast iteration is second nature to you

Bonus Points For:

• Experience fine-tuning LLMs or working with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems
• Frontend experience using Vue or React
• Technical writing or documentation contributions, especially around developer tools or AI
• Experience with agent orchestration patterns and state management in multi-step AI systems
• Knowledge of code quality evaluation metrics and context optimizationtechniques
