As an AI Engineer at Bobsled, you will improve text-to-SQL accuracy, design LLM application architectures, and support production deployments while collaborating with engineering and customers.
About Bobsled
Bobsled is building AI-powered analytics experiences that turn natural language into accurate, production-grade insights. We’re looking for a hands-on AI Engineer to drive text-to-SQL accuracy and the systems that make our LLM-based application reliable in production.
What You’ll Do
- Own the text-to-SQL accuracy problem end-to-end: design evals, iterate prompts, and improve retrieval/routing
- Build and operate the experimentation and evaluation loop (automatic evals, regression suites, dataset curation)
- Design pragmatic LLM application architectures (RAG, agent routing, tool-use orchestration) optimized for accuracy and latency
- Ship production-grade code and support deployments; instrument, monitor, and troubleshoot model behavior in real customer environments
- Partner closely with engineering and customers to improve semantic models, SQL generation, and data alignment
- Create feedback loops from users to systematically capture issues and convert them into measurable improvements
- Contribute to automation of environment provisioning and dev workflows to enable fast iteration
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years in ML/AI or data-focused engineering or data science roles building production systems data or AI systems
- Demonstrated experience tuning LLM applications: prompt engineering, evals, retrieval, agent design, or similar
- Strong hands-on coding in Python or TypeScript (TypeScript familiarity a plus; willingness to work across the stack required)
- ML engineering mindset beyond notebooks: testing, CI, observability, performance, and deployment in production
- Comfort with SQL and complex data modeling; familiarity with data warehouses and pipelines
- Pragmatic, product-oriented approach—optimize for impact over novelty; complement existing systems rather than rebuild from scratch
- Ability to design experiments, quantify improvements, and communicate trade-offs clearly
Nice to Have
- Experience with text-to-SQL systems, semantic layers, or BI/analytics workflows
- Exposure to RAG frameworks, knowledge graphs, vector stores, and evaluation tooling
- Prior work in analytics engineering or data engineering environments
Success Looks Like
- Measurable improvements in text-to-SQL accuracy across target datasets and partners
- Reliable eval pipeline and regression suite running in CI to catch degradations
- Clear architecture and documentation for context/agent systems that others can contribute to
- Short feedback cycles with partners leading to fast, meaningful product wins
Compensation
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Comprehensive benefits

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
