As a Senior AI Engineer, you'll drive intelligent features that redefine how users build automations. You'll build AI-powered capabilities, from natural language input to smart suggestions, that make creating workflows faster and more intuitive.

You'll collaborate across engineering, product, and design to bring generative AI and LLM-based enhancements into the core user experience. You'll improve existing AI integrations, develop new ones, and shape how AI powers our product.

You’ll work across the entire AI feature lifecycle:

• Architect and implement AI-powered capabilities: code generation, intelligent node creation, and workflow optimization

• Integrate LLM APIs and embedding models for text-to-workflow and natural language code suggestions

• Design and iterate on prompts to improve model output and user experience

• Build internal tooling, evaluation benchmarks, and automated testing for AI components

• Collaborate closely with other engineers to ensure AI features are reliable, performant, and scalable

• Balance experimentation with impact: ship quickly while focusing on user value

• Stay current with advances in LLMs, prompt frameworks, and developer tools - and bring those insights into our roadmap

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building web-based products, ideally in B2B SaaS startups

• Strong backend development skills with TypeScript, Node.js, and API design

• Proven track record shipping AI-powered features in production with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and understanding of how to translate machine intelligence into user value

• Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, embedding models, and vector stores

• A user-focused mindset: you care about delivering features that solve real problems

• A bias for shipping and learning - fast iteration is second nature to you

Bonus Points For

• Experience fine-tuning LLMs or working with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems

• Frontend experience using Vue or React

• Technical writing or documentation contributions, especially around developer tools or AI
