About the Role We are seeking an exceptional AI Engineer to join our growing team and take a leading role in building and evolving our internal AI-powered agent platform used across the organization.

In this role, you will design, build, and improve AI-powered applications that integrate large language models (LLMs) with internal tools, SQL databases, advertising APIs (Google Ads, Meta), and stateful code execution environments. You will play a critical role in improving reliability, context orchestration, evaluation maturity, and expanding Rai into document and workflow automation use cases.

Your work will directly impact 200–500 employees and potentially clients, making AI a core productivity multiplier across the organization.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • LLM Application Development Design, build, and maintain AI-powered applications leveraging LLM APIs, tool calling, and structured outputs.
  • Agent & Tool Orchestration Develop and improve agent architectures that integrate tools such as SQL execution, Python code execution, and marketing platform APIs through MCP-style integrations.
  • Context & Memory Management Design and refine multi-turn context handling, session memory strategies, and prompt structures to improve response reliability and reduce hallucinations.
  • Reliability & Guardrails Implement safeguards for tool execution, SQL queries, and code execution. Improve retry logic, structured validation, and hallucination mitigation strategies.
  • Evaluation & Quality Assurance Contribute to building structured evaluation frameworks for LLM-powered systems, including multi-turn testing, regression testing, and task-based success metrics.
  • Product Expansion Support expansion of Rai into document generation, tables, slide decks, and potential Google Workspace integrations.
  • Collaboration Work closely with Machine Learning Engineers, Product Managers, and Full-Stack Engineers to ensure AI systems are robust, maintainable, and aligned with business goals.
