About the role
Senior AI Engineer | NYC | $200k - $280kI'm working with a well funded, early stage AI company building agents that handle complex, multi step professional workflows. They're looking for a Senior AI Engineer to help build the core systems behind it. This is not another chatbot or thin LLM wrapper. You'll be building: Agentic systems that reason, use tools and execute multi-step workflows Evaluation infrastructure that tells you when AI is getting better or quietly getting worse Orchestration systems for long running jobs, retries, dependencies and failure recovery Production infrastructure making AI observable, reliable and fast The problems are genuinely hard. How do you make an unreliable model behave like reliable software? How do you know when an agent is wrong? How do you build systems that can recover when things inevitably fail? You'll have significant ownership and work directly with the people defining the product. Ideally, you've already worked in a startup or high growth environment and enjoy operatingwithout much process or hand-holding. Strong backend engineering fundamentals matter. Deep experience with LLMs, agents, evals ordistributed systems is highly relevant. If you want to work on serious AI infrastructure rather than another AI wrapper, this is worth aconversation.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
