Job Description
Senior AI Engineer
Podium
• Build and scale the AI Agent platform — enabling high-volume, real-time conversational workflows that deliver accuracy and low latency at scale. • Design and implement APIs, services, and infrastructure that power multi-turn, cross-channel customer interactions. • Own the full lifecycle: architecture, implementation, deployment, and ongoing reliability. • Prototype rapidly, iterate with live interaction data, and continuously improve system performance and user experience. • Implement observability, monitoring, and operational best practices to ensure reliability in production, focusing on agent accuracy and latency. • Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and AI/ML scientists to deliver end-to-end features that power critical business outcomes.
Job Requirements
- 6-10+ years of professional software engineering experience with at least one modern language such as Go, Python, or Elixir.
- 1+ years of professional experience deploying and maintaining AI agents in production environments that interact with tools, APIs, or real-world workflows.
- Proven success designing and maintaining distributed or high-throughput systems.
- Strong problem-solving ability and comfort navigating ambiguity in large-scale systems.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.
- A willingness to work across the entire stack—from infrastructure to APIs to user-facing components—wherever the problem needs solving.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
- Practical experience designing and implementing evaluations for LLM behavior — including accuracy, safety, reliability, and cost monitoring.
- Strong understanding of prompt design, context engineering, and guardrail strategies for dependable, interpretable agent behavior.
- Experience with modern agent frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen, including multi-step reasoning, memory, and orchestration patterns.
- Hands-on experience with fine-tuning and data curation for improving model performance.
