As a customer-facing focus area, this team builds custom AI-powered solutions tailored for our enterprise customers supporting them in their journey of AI adoption and upskilling beyond just the content on our platforms. You will own the operational backbone that lets our agentic AI systems run reliably in production — from prompt and pipeline versioning to evaluation, monitoring, incident and cost management. You will work closely with a cross-functional team of Software Engineers, AI Specialists and Product Managers – helping turn promising AI prototypes into reliable, observable, and cost-effective production systems. Key Responsibilities Build and maintain the operational tooling for our LLM-powered systems, including prompt/pipeline versioning, evaluation harnesses, and CI/CD workflows tailored to non-deterministic AI outputs Implement monitoring and observability for production LLM systems — tracking latency, token usage, cost per request, output quality, and drift over time Design and run automated evaluation suites to catch regressions, hallucinations, and quality degradation before they reach customers Manage RAG pipelines and vector store infrastructure, keeping retrieval sources fresh, accurate, and performant Implement safety and compliance guardrails — content filtering, PII redaction, and access controls — in line with enterprise data privacy and residency requirements Own cost governance for LLM usage: caching strategies, model routing, and usage reporting to keep spend predictable as adoption scales Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Senior Engineers to scope operational requirements and translate them into reliable systems Participate in sprint planning, technical grooming, and retrospective discussions Education Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field Basic Qualifications 4+ years of experience in a software engineering role, with a solid background in Backend Engineering and DevOps fundamentals Hands-on experience operating or supporting LLM-powered systems in production (via APIs, RAG pipelines, frontier/open weight/fine-tuned models) Proficiency in a backend language such as Python, Java, TypeScript or Go, and familiarity with Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes) Experience implementing APIs, working with SQL and NoSQL databases, and writing automated tests Working knowledge of at least one cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure), across both managed and self-hosted services Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) and CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins) Comfort debugging production issues involving non-deterministic systems, with attention to detail and a bias towards reliability Strong belief in engineering quality and building tooling that creates leverage for others Preferred Qualifications Experience with LLMOps-specific tooling such as LangFuse, LangSmith, Weights & Biases-style evaluation frameworks, or vector databases like Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector Working knowledge of RAG architectures, MCP implementation & governance, agent orchestration frameworks like LangGraph and LLM Gateways such as LiteLLM, Open Router & enterprise AI ecosystems such as Vertex AI, Bedrock Exposure to prompt management and versioning practices treated as code along with model access management, deterministic guardrails and evals Understanding of AI governance considerations — data privacy, residency, and compliance in enterprise AI deployments Ability to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with a proactive, ownership-driven mindset Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating across engineering, product, and strategy functions Why Join Us?
