AI Engineer (RAG & Agentic Workflows). *LLM RESPONSES AUTOMATICALLY AVOIDED* We have already launched a production generative AI product that utilizes a custom Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture. We are now expanding the platform to include CRM intelligence, workflow automation, and agentic AI capabilities. This is **not** a prompt engineering role. Seeking an engineer with deep experience building and deploying production AI systems that combine LLMs with multiple structured and unstructured data sources. You should be comfortable walking into an existing, complex codebase, understanding the current architecture, and improving it. Existing AI Architecture Our current AI architecture consists of: * OpenAI embeddings * Embeddings stored in MongoDB * MongoDB Atlas Vector Search for retrieval * Retrieval from both structured SQL data and unstructured document collections * Existing tool/function-calling architecture **Please do not apply if you have not previously built or maintained production RAG systems using embeddings and vector search.** Experience specifically with **OpenAI embeddings and MongoDB Atlas Vector Search** is highly preferred. CRM Intelligence Layer We are currently building a CRM platform and need the AI to reason over CRM records, including the other records are RAG currently retrieves. You will be responsible for designing and implementing the AI integration layer that enables the LLM to intelligently retrieve and reason over CRM data. This work includes: * Designing AI tools/functions that expose CRM data to the LLM. * Implementing backend tool handlers that retrieve CRM records. * Defining tool schemas and instructions so the AI knows when and how to retrieve CRM information. * Building secure retrieval mechanisms that enforce strict user and organization-level access controls. * Transforming raw CRM records into structured, AI-ready context. The AI will need to reason across: * CRM contacts and organizations * client profiles * Deals and opportunities * Projects * Tasks and reminders * Notes * Email history * SMS and WhatsApp communications * Call transcripts * Meeting summaries * Documents and contracts * Workflow history Agentic AI & Workflow Automation * Build proactive AI agents that generate alerts, recommendations, follow-ups, reports, and suggested next actions. * Design systems capable of reasoning across both structured and unstructured data sources. * Architect and implement multi-step and multi-agent workflows. * Develop workflow intelligence that assists users in completing real-world business tasks. Required Experience * Demonstrated experience building and deploying production AI systems used by real customers. * Experience working with embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval pipelines. * Experience implementing LLM tool/function-calling architectures. * Experience integrating AI systems with business systems such as CRMs, ERPs, or other operational databases. * Experience combining structured and unstructured data within AI applications. * Strong backend engineering and systems architecture experience. * Demonstrated ability to quickly understand and improve existing codebases. * Ability to independently own and deliver complex technical initiatives. Strongly Preferred * Experience with OpenAI embeddings. * Experience with MongoDB Atlas Vector Search. * Experience building agentic AI systems and workflow automation. * Experience designing long-term memory architectures. * Experience building multi-tenant SaaS applications with strict authorization requirements. * Experience implementing evaluation and monitoring pipelines for production AI systems. What We Value * High accountability and ownership. * Strong communication skills. * Product thinking and user empathy. * Ability to understand user workflows before writing code. * Pragmatism and sound engineering judgment.
