Job Description

Staff AI Engineer

Go Cadre

Role Description As Staff AI Engineer, you are the technical leader and backbone of Cadre's Colombia engineering team. Your job is to ensure every engineer around you builds better. You mentor and manage engineers, set the standard for how the team designs, reviews, and ships AI systems, and own their growth as deliberately as you own your own code. You pair that leadership with serious technical depth, staying hands-on with the hardest builds in our client portfolio: - Multi-step agent systems - Complex document processing pipelines - Automations that touch core revenue operations When a problem has ambiguous requirements or no obvious solution, the team looks to you, and clients measure the result in EBITDA impact, not demos. You report to the Head of Client Engineering and occasionally join client calls to walk stakeholders through what we are building and why. You thrive here if leveling up the people around you energizes you as much as shipping the system yourself. What You'll Do - Team Leadership and Mentorship - Manage and mentor engineers on the Colombia team, owning their technical growth, code quality, and delivery. - Set the engineering bar through rigorous code review, pairing, and reference implementations. - Serve as the first escalation point when engineers hit problems they cannot solve alone, teaching as you unblock. - Build the habits, patterns, and practices that make every engineer on the team measurably better quarter over quarter. - Technical Direction - Drive architecture decisions across client builds: agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, document processing, and automation running in production. - Evaluate new models, frameworks, and techniques as they emerge, deciding what enters Cadre's production toolkit. - Turn hard-won lessons from client builds into reusable internal tooling, templates, and documentation. - Build and Ship Production AI Systems - Stay hands-on with Cadre's most complex client systems, owning delivery end to end. - Make pragmatic build decisions under real constraints: client timelines, legacy systems, messy data, and measurable business outcomes. - Ship fast without sacrificing reliability; design systems that keep working long after the engagement ends. - Client Collaboration - Join client calls when the conversation needs technical depth, walking stakeholders through system designs, trade-offs, and progress. - Translate ambiguous business problems into concrete system designs and delivery plans clients can commit to. - Flag risks, trade-offs, and scope realities directly and early, protecting both the client outcome and the team's delivery. Qualifications - 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years building LLM-powered systems that run in production. - Demonstrated technical leadership: engineers you have mentored or managed improved due to your guidance. - Expert-level Python and strong full-stack fundamentals. - Production cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure). - Deep working knowledge of the modern AI stack. - A track record of owning ambiguous, high-stakes projects end to end. - Fluent English and clear communication on client calls. - Consulting-environment adaptability. - Based in Colombia with reliable overlap with US business hours. - An AI-first working style. Benefits - Real leadership: be the technical backbone of a growing engineering team. - AI-native culture: work with people who are as obsessed with the tools as you are. - Access to the frontier: experiment with new models and capabilities through partnerships. - Upside: share in the success of a bootstrapped, profitable, and fast-growing company. - No bureaucracy: small teams with clear accountability.

Role Description We’re looking for an AI Software Engineer to help build the next generation of UJET's AI products: Spiral and AXO. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys moving across the stack, and wants to turn cutting-edge model capabilities into real-world product experiences. - Work across backend systems, AI services, product features, APIs, and infrastructure. - Build agent workflows in Python, ship customer-facing features in TypeScript, improve evals and reliability, or design systems that process large-scale conversational data securely and efficiently. This role is ideal for an engineer who is deeply practical about AI: someone who uses AI-assisted development naturally, understands how to build with and around LLMs, and cares about reliability, performance, and user impact as much as model quality. We value curiosity highly. The best people in this role are excited to dig into messy problems, ask good questions, and iterate until the system is measurably better. Qualifications - 3-5 years of professional software engineering experience, with strong hands-on experience building production systems. - Strong experience as a generalist engineer who can move fluidly between backend systems, frontend, AI services, APIs, and product development. - Excellent programming skills in Python and TypeScript. - Experience shipping AI agents, LLM-powered applications, or other production AI systems, including prompt and tool orchestration, evaluation, and cost/reliability tradeoffs. - Strong product instincts and comfort working in ambiguous environments where the right solution is not obvious at the start. - Experience building and operating systems on AWS/GCP in production. - Comfort working with large, messy datasets and building pipelines that turn unstructured inputs into dependable product functionality. - Strong SQL and data systems fundamentals. - A bias toward ownership, speed, and pragmatic execution. - Experience building AI-native products from 0 to 1. - Familiarity with conversational data, support platforms, CRM/CCaaS integrations, or customer experience tooling. - Experience with observability, evaluation frameworks, and production reliability for AI systems. Requirements - Build and own product and platform capabilities across Spiral and AXO, from early prototypes to production systems. - Design and implement AI-powered workflows, agent capabilities, and backend services that are scalable, secure, and reliable. - Develop high-performance APIs, async workers, and application logic in Python and TypeScript. - Ship user-facing product features and internal tools that make advanced AI systems useful and intuitive for customers. - Architect and improve data ingestion, parsing, and analysis pipelines that transform raw customer interaction data into structured, actionable insights. - Partner across engineering, product, and design to translate ambiguous product ideas into robust technical systems. - Own infrastructure and deployment patterns on AWS/GCP, with a focus on reproducibility, observability, security, and cost efficiency. - Improve system quality through evaluation, monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational best practices. - Help define engineering standards, review code, and mentor teammates working on distributed systems and AI applications. Benefits - Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) plan, commuter benefits, and more.
