We’re a founder-led advisory firm building production AI systems for real business workflows. We’re looking for a hands-on engineer who can design and build LLM-driven applications, including RAG pipelines and agent-based systems.

- Work directly with leadership to translate business problems into technical solutions
- Deploy and maintain systems in production (cloud environments)
What We’re Looking For
- Strong Python backend engineering experience
- Experience building production AI/LLM systems (not just prototypes)
- Hands-on with:
- RAG architectures
- LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
- API-driven systems (FastAPI or similar)
- Experience deploying systems in AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Ability to move quickly and work independently
Nice to Have
- Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, or similar frameworks
- Background in workflow automation or process redesign
- Client-facing or consulting experience

- No sponsorship or employer-dependent arrangements
- U.S.-based strongly preferred
Engagement
