Role Overview

We are looking for a Principal AI Engineer to guide a distributed team of developers in building modern, scalable, and AI-integrated software solutions. As a technical leader, you'll be responsible for architectural oversight, system design, and AI strategy.

This is a highly impactful role, ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of software engineering, AI-assisted development, and technical leadership.

Key Responsibilities

This includes architecting and building robust MCPs/APIs and AI Agents to facilitate AI capabilities within our existing platforms. You will also develop and refine prompt strategies to guide AI agents in writing code, documentation, and tests, leveraging LLM tools to automate repetitive tasks and improve overall development efficiency.

System Design & Task Decomposition: You'll translate high-level product goals into actionable engineering tasks that are optimized for both human and AI execution. You will also provide in-depth code reviews (for both human- and AI-generated code), ensuring performance, security, and correctness across our entire codebase.

Mentorship & Coaching: You will actively mentor our globally distributed developers, providing technical guidance and fostering a learning culture focused on AI tool adoption, clean code practices, and modern software design.

DevOps & CI/CD: You will collaborate on optimizing our build and deployment pipelines by integrating AI-enhanced review and testing steps to streamline our delivery process.
