Job Description

AI Engineer – Agentic Systems & RAG - Looking for an experienced AI Engineer to design and build our next generation of agent-powered products. In this role, you’ll develop, evaluate, and scale sophisticated Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and agentic workflows that unlock new, intuitive ways to shop.

Our LLM-powered agents leverage a rich set of tools to interact with customer catalogs, perform advanced retrieval, and guide users through browsing and discovery. The result: accurate, well-cited answers and exceptional product recommendations for open-ended user queries.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement real-time, agentic workflows that handle complex, multi-step user tasks and open-ended queries
  • Build systems that deliver accurate, context-aware responses and high-quality product recommendations
  • Own the end-to-end data lifecycle for AI workflows, including vector ingestion, indexing, and retrieval
  • Define and implement evaluation metrics to measure relevance, performance, and alignment with business and user goals
  • Rapidly prototype and validate new product ideas using LLMs, RAG, and agent-based systems
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Analytics, and Engineering partners to turn AI capabilities into polished product features
  • Continuously improve the speed, quality, reliability, and efficiency of our AI systems
  • Take ownership of systems from initial design through deployment, monitoring, and long-term maintenance

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of industry experience in areas such as search, information retrieval, recommendation systems, applied ML, or NLP
  • Strong ability to communicate technical work in terms of business impact
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL, with hands-on experience building end-to-end ML or LLM-powered systems
  • Deep understanding of information retrieval techniques (e.g., dense retrieval, re-ranking, chunking strategies)
  • Practical experience building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems; experience with autonomous agents is a strong plus
  • Familiarity with ML evaluation methodologies and core IR metrics

Nice to have:

  • experience with automated prompt optimization techniques (e.g., DSPy)
  • A product-oriented mindset, strong ownership mentality, and passion for shipping high-quality work

Tech Stack

  • Core: Python, FastAPI, asyncio, Airflow, Luigi, PySpark, Docker, LangGraph
  • Data Stores: Vector databases, DynamoDB, AWS S3, AWS RDS
  • Cloud & MLOps: AWS, Databricks, Ray

Benefits & Perks

  • Unlimited vacation time (we encourage everyone to take at least 3 weeks per year)
  • Fully remote team, work from anywhere
  • Work-from-home stipend to support your home office setup
  • Apple laptop provided
  • Annual training and professional development budget
  • Maternity and paternity leave for eligible employees
  • Regular team offsites to connect and collaborate
  • Work alongside smart, supportive teammates and make a meaningful impact

Compensation:

This role has a base salary range of $80,000–$120,000 USD, depending on experience, skills, and interview performance.
