We are looking for an AI & ML Engineer with strong software engineering foundations to join our growing engineering team. This role sits at the intersection of applied AI and production software and focuses on building reliable, scalable, enterprise-ready AI systems. You will work closely with software engineers and platform teams to design, deploy, and operate AI-powered capabilities that directly power our core product. This is not a research-only role: success is measured by production impact, reliability, and customer value. If you are excited about building AI systems that operate in real enterprise environments with real constraints, real users, and real accountability - we’d love to talk. ## What You’ll Do
Design, build, and operate production-grade AI/ML systems that power Asteri’s orchestration platform
Collaborate closely with backend, platform, and frontend engineers to integrate AI capabilities into scalable, reliable product workflows
Deploy and iterate on LLM-based applications in production, continuously evaluating quality, latency, and cost
Own retrieval and agentic systems (e.g., RAG pipelines, workflow agents, policy-driven logic) end-to-end
Define and run rigorous evaluation and testing for AI systems, including offline experiments and production monitoring
Improve model performance and system behavior over time through experimentation, tuning, and system-level optimizations
Implement strong engineering practices for AI development, including testing, CI/CD, versioning, and rollback strategies
Stay current with advances in applied AI and generative models and translate relevant techniques into practical product improvements
Partner with cross-functional teams to understand product requirements and translate them into robust AI solutions
What Will Make You Successful
Must-Haves
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience
Strong proficiency in Python and experience building production software
5+ years of professional experience spanning software engineering and applied AI/ML development
Experience deploying and operating ML or LLM-based systems in production environments
Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals, model evaluation, and system-level tradeoffs
Experience with cloud-based deployment of ML systems
Strong software engineering skills, including systems design, testing, and performance optimization
Ability to reason about and communicate complex technical concepts clearly
Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with a senior engineering team
Nice-to-Haves
Experience building applications with LLM frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Hugging Face
Deep experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and optimization techniques
Familiarity with ML lifecycle and experimentation tools (e.g., MLflow, Weights & Biases, DVC)
Experience building distributed or data-intensive systems
