Sequen AI

The first Behavior Design Engine for the enterprise. Sequen isn’t retrofitted AI search or recommendations. It rethinks relevance from first principles. Sequen introduces the first foundational Large Event Model (LEM), trained on billions of user event sequences and built natively on a reinforcement learning infrastructure. LEMs are specialized neural networks that predict the next user event—just as LLMs predict the next word. Sequen’s LEMs are pre-trained on billions of user-site interactions and fine-tuned to optimize for the outcomes you care about. No more fixed pipelines with fragmented infrastructure. Sequen replaces them with a single endpoint that adaptively handles all phases of personalization via LEMs and memory models—all through a sub-25ms API.

Important Information Experience: +6 years Job Mode: Full-time Work Mode: Remote ID: 20983 Job Summary We are looking for a versatile and forward-thinking Senior Software Engineer to support and accelerate AI adoption across the organization. This is not a traditional project-based role—instead, you will act as a technical enabler and problem solver, partnering with business teams to bring AI-driven ideas to life. You will work across a variety of use cases, from building new AI-powered solutions to deploying and scaling existing prototypes, often in non-standard and evolving environments. Success in this role requires adaptability, strong engineering fundamentals, and hands-on experience with modern AI tools and cloud platforms. Responsibilities and Duties - AI Enablement & Solution Delivery - Collaborate with business stakeholders to evaluate, design, and implement AI-driven solutions. - Support both greenfield builds and deployment of existing AI prototypes. - Work with modern AI tools such as Claude, Codex, Cline, and similar platforms to accelerate development and experimentation. - Contribute to prompt engineering, workflow orchestration, and AI solution optimization. - Help define best practices for AI adoption across the organization. Software Engineering & Development - Design, develop, and maintain scalable applications using Java or Python. - Build APIs, services, and integrations to support AI-driven workflows. - Ensure high standards for code quality, performance, and maintainability. - Work across different layers of the stack depending on project needs. Cloud & Architecture (AWS) - Design and implement solutions in AWS, leveraging cloud-native architectures. - Contribute to architectural decisions with a focus on scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. - Deploy and manage applications in cloud environments, with exposure to services such as: - AWS Lambda (serverless) - Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) (nice to have) - Apply best practices for cloud security, monitoring, and resource optimization. Adaptability & Problem Solving - Operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-changing environments with evolving requirements. - Quickly ramp up on new tools, frameworks, and AI technologies as needed. - Act as a technical consultant/partner to non-engineering teams. - Balance speed and quality while delivering practical, business-focused solutions. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement - Work closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Data, and Business stakeholders. - Share knowledge and help upskill teams on AI capabilities and tools. - Contribute to improving engineering practices, tooling, and workflows. - Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and solution brainstorming. Qualifications and Skills - 5–8+ years of experience in software engineering. - Strong proficiency in Java or Python (both is a plus, but not required). - Hands-on experience working with AI tools and platforms (e.g., Claude, Codex, Cline, or similar). - Experience building and deploying applications in cloud environments (AWS preferred). - Solid understanding of software architecture, APIs, and system design. - Ability to work in ambiguous, non-standard, and evolving environments. - Strong problem-solving and analytical skills. - Excellent communication skills and ability to work directly with business stakeholders. Preferred Qualifications - Experience with LLMs, NLP, or AI/ML workflows. - Familiarity with prompt engineering and AI orchestration frameworks. - Experience with AWS Lambda, EKS, or other cloud-native services. - Knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). - Experience integrating AI solutions into enterprise systems. - Background in rapid prototyping or innovation-focused teams. About Encora Encora is a global company that offers Software and Digital Engineering solutions. Our practices include Cloud Services, Product Engineering & Application Modernization, Data & Analytics, Digital Experience & Design Services, DevSecOps, Cybersecurity, Quality Engineering, AI & LLM Engineering, among others.
