Production-Grade AI Architecture - Architect and deploy scalable LLM + retrieval + agent systems in production environments. - Optimize for latency, cost, reliability, and evaluation in real-world enterprise workloads. - Partner with platform, security, product teams, and other application development teams with diverse skill sets to operationalize AI safely and effectively. Responsible & Trustworthy AI - Embed human-in-the-loop workflows, confidence thresholds, and safety guardrails into AI systems. - Ensure privacy-preserving data handling, robust failure modes, and transparent behavior aligned with Drata’s trust principles. What you'll bring: - Experience: 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience; 2+ years specifically in ML/AI engineering. - Programming Languages: Proficiency in Python; TypeScript experience is a plus, especially for production AI system integrations. - Retrieval & Vector Stores: Familiarity with vector databases (Pinecone, Chroma, FAISS, etc.) and RAG system design. - LLM & AI Systems: Proven experience building and shipping LLM-based applications in production, including embeddings, RAG, agent frameworks, prompt engineering, and evaluation. - Production Expertise: Track record of taking AI systems from concept to production, designing scalable, maintainable solutions. - Problem Solving: Ability to decompose complex tasks into agentic workflows and reason over high-stakes, structured, and unstructured data. - Collaboration: Experience working cross-functionally with product, compliance, security, engineering teams, and partnering with other application development teams with diverse skill sets. Bonus Qualifications: - Experience in compliance, security, risk, or audit domains. - Familiarity with Snowflake-based analytics, knowledge graphs, or enterprise data platforms. - Experience partnering with non-technical stakeholders such as compliance or GRC teams. This role defines how AI is responsibly embedded into a trust-critical enterprise platform. Your work will: - Establish foundational agentic AI capabilities that power multiple present and future product experiences. - Enable customers to derive accurate, explainable insights from complex compliance and security data. - Set the technical and ethical standard for applying modern AI in regulated, high-stakes environments.

Employees also receive access to Kindbody fertility and family-building benefits and dedicated leave specialists who help guide you through the entire process. - Growth & Development: Generous annual stipends for both professional and personal development, empowering you to invest in your continued growth. You’ll also have access to a wide range of internal learning opportunities, ensuring you can build new skills, deepen your expertise, and advance your career with confidence. - Time Off & Flexibility: We believe that to do your best work, you should get the time you need for rest, rejuvenation and recovery.

Location: Remote (Global) Reports to: Head of Product Company: Supernal Type: EOR FTE or Contractor Rate: $50/hr About Supernal At Supernal, we help SMBs hire their first AI employee. Our AI teammates are built with intelligent, agentic workflows and deployed on our proprietary platform. We don't build tools — we deliver working, value-generating AI Employees. Our AI Platform Engineers, known internally as Masons, are the builders behind these systems. Now, we're looking for a Senior Mason to help lead this craft. The Role As a Senior AI Platform Engineer, you'll be on the frontlines of our most critical customer implementations, with a strong focus on conversational AI agents deployed in real business environments. You'll design, build, and deliver agentic systems that handle live users, multi-turn conversations, real-time constraints, and complex integrations. These are not demos or experiments — they are production systems that customers rely on. Beyond hands-on engineering, you will act as a technical owner for client delivery. You'll translate customer requirements and SOWs into working systems, own delivery timelines, manage technical tradeoffs, and ensure successful outcomes in production. This is a hands-on role. You're not just reviewing PRs or sitting in meetings — you're in the weeds, building systems, debugging failures, and showing others how it's done. Responsibilities - Build advanced AI agent workflows on n8n and Supernal's proprietary platform - Design, implement, and deploy conversational agents, including multi-turn flows, state management, and tool usage - Own end-to-end technical delivery for high-priority customer implementations, from architecture through production launch - Translate customer requirements and SOWs into clear technical designs, execution plans, and deliverables - Make and own architectural decisions across LLM orchestration, RAG design, API integrations, and workflow decomposition - Handle real-world voice system challenges including latency, interruptions, fallbacks, error handling, and failure recovery - Write automated tests — unit tests for isolated logic and end-to-end tests for full workflow and user journey validation - Apply solid error handling: distinguish retryable vs. fatal failures, surface meaningful error messages, and avoid silent failures - Actively debug complex production issues across agent logic, prompts, integrations, and external dependencies - Partner with delivery and product leadership to manage timelines, scope, and technical tradeoffs during implementation - Review technical work for quality, scalability, and maintainability, setting a high bar for engineering excellence - Define, document, and evolve best practices for building and delivering reliable AI Employees You Might Be a Fit If You... - Have 4+ years of experience as a software engineer, automation engineer, or systems builder shipping production systems - Have hands-on experience deploying voice agents using leading platforms (e.g., ElevenLabs, Retell, Nextiva), including telephony and streaming audio integration patterns - Understand multi-turn conversation design: state management, context windows, interruption handling, and graceful recovery - Have tackled real-time constraints in production: latency budgets, streaming audio, fallback paths, and API chaos - Write automated tests as a matter of course — unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end workflow validation — and treat testing as part of shipping, not an afterthought - Apply solid engineering fundamentals: error handling, retry strategies, separation of concerns, and clean interfaces between components - Are comfortable owning delivery outcomes end-to-end — not just writing code — including timelines, reliability, and client success - Have deep experience with agentic architectures, workflow automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Make), and APIs - Understand LLM orchestration, prompt engineering, function calling, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) - Can prototype fast and finish the job to production quality — with tests, error handling, monitoring, and runbooks - Are an elite debugger who can reason through edge cases, flaky agents, and real-world API failures - Communicate clearly and fluently in English — both in writing and verbally — especially when articulating technical decisions, tradeoffs, and implementation choices to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike - Can run meetings, drive decisions, write crisp updates, and ask the right questions early — without needing heavy process - Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments and take ownership without being asked - Bring a low-ego, high-integrity approach to collaboration and leadership What Success Looks Like - Voice-first AI Employees are delivered on time, meet customer requirements, and perform reliably in production - Client implementations are predictable, well-architected, and resilient under real-world conditions - Complex conversational and voice workflows behave consistently and recover gracefully from failure - Code is well-tested, well-documented, and maintainable — not just functional - Technical decisions are communicated clearly and proactively to stakeholders, with tradeoffs explained and risks surfaced early - Engineering best practices reflect real production learnings and are widely adopted across the Mason team - Delivery artifacts — runbooks, SOPs, reusable components — raise the bar for the whole team
