AI Systems Engineer – Agentic AI, Multi-Agent Systems & Secure AI Workflows (U.S.)

AI SYSTEMS ENGINEER Agentic AI, Multi-Agent Systems & Secure AI Workflows (U.S.) Remote • United States We're building production AI systems designed for enterprise environments. We're looking for exceptional AI systems engineers who enjoy solving difficult systems problems – not just writing code. Our work sits at the intersection of agentic AI, software architecture, enterprise systems, governance, security, and operational intelligence. We design AI systems that improve how organizations operate while meeting the standards required for production deployment. We value engineers who think in systems, challenge assumptions, and care deeply about building technology that is reliable, understandable, secure, and useful. If you're motivated by difficult engineering problems, thoughtful architecture, and building production AI systems for enterprise organizations, we'd like to hear from you. WHAT YOU'LL HELP BUILD Examples of the types of systems we design include: - Multi-agent AI systems - Enterprise AI assistants - Secure AI workflows - Enterprise workflow automation - AI-powered knowledge systems - Human-in-the-loop decision support - Document intelligence - Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) - AI memory and retrieval systems - AI evaluation and testing frameworks - Secure enterprise AI platforms - AI governance capabilities - Operational intelligence platforms TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE WE VALUE We're interested in engineers with experience in some combination of: - Python - AI Agent Development - LangGraph - LangChain - Large Language Models - API Development - Vector Databases - Software Architecture - Enterprise Systems Integration - Information Security Experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, Model Context Protocol (MCP), cloud infrastructure, workflow orchestration, observability, distributed systems, or regulated technology environments is also valuable. We do not expect expertise in every technology. We care far more about engineering judgment, systems thinking, demonstrated execution, and continuous learning than checking every technology box. THE PROBLEMS WE ENJOY SOLVING The engineers who thrive here enjoy questions like: - How should multiple AI agents coordinate work? - How should humans remain in control of important decisions? - How should production AI systems scale safely? - How should memory be designed for enterprise AI? - How should AI systems balance operational performance with governance, security, and reliability? - How should AI systems create measurable business value? If those questions excite you, you'll probably enjoy working with us. WHAT MAKES SOMEONE SUCCESSFUL HERE We're looking for engineers who: - Think in systems rather than individual features. - Care deeply about production quality. - Enjoy solving ambiguous technical problems. - Communicate complex ideas clearly. - Balance speed with sound engineering judgment. - Build practical solutions rather than chasing hype. - Continuously learn, experiment, and improve. We're significantly more interested in systems you've built than technologies you've used. Please provide specific examples that demonstrate your role, engineering decisions, and measurable outcomes. We recognize that many engineers use AI as part of their workflow. You're welcome to do the same.
