Design retrieval-augmented generation pipelines and semantic search for unstructured evidence.
-
Architect structured data systems, including query planning and semantic reasoning layers.
-
Build or work with agentic systems that reason, plan, and take actions across investigative data.
-
Evaluate emerging AI models and infrastructure approaches, and own solutions from discovery through deployment.
What We're Looking For
-
At least 6 years of backend engineering experience building distributed systems, with production deployment experience for LLMs, vision models, or other ML systems.
-
Proficiency across multiple programming languages, including Python, and experience with JavaScript or React.
-
Experience building secure, resilient systems and working across multiple infrastructure providers.
-
Hands-on experience with RAG or similar pipelines for unstructured data, and structured data systems involving query planning, semantic modeling, or reasoning.
-
Experience in both established engineering environments and early-stage startups is valued.
