About the opportunity:
As a Senior AI Engineer, you will be at the forefront of our Generative AI initiatives. We treat AI as a software engineering discipline. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of our AI features—specifically document intelligence and RAG pipelines—taking them from initial prototype to robust, scalable production services. You will solve for real-world constraints like latency, error handling, and cost optimization.
You’ll collaborate with a diverse range of clients to translate business needs into high-performance AI architectures. This role requires a blend of deep technical expertise in LLMs and a disciplined Software Engineering approach to ensure our solutions are robust, ethical, and scalable.
What You Will Do:
- Architect & Build: Design and implement end-to-end GenAI applications using Python, LangChain, and LlamaIndex on Google Cloud.
- Engineer for Precision: Develop advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines and Semantic Search systems using GCP Vector Search or Pinecone.
- Optimize Models: Lead efforts in LLM and Embedding fine-tuning to improve domain-specific performance.
- Agentic Ops: Build and manage agentic workflows that automate complex multi-step reasoning tasks.
- Collaborate & Innovate: Work directly with customers to understand requirements, suggest novel features, and implement state-of-the-art AI techniques.
- Productionize: Apply MLOps best practices to ensure models are served efficiently, monitored, and continuously improved.
Your Technical Toolkit:
- Core Languages: Mastery of Python and shell scripting.
- AI/LLM Ecosystem: Extensive experience with Google Gemini, GPT-4, or LLaMA; deep knowledge of Prompt Engineering and Fine-tuning.
- Data & Search: Expertise in Vector Databases (Vertex AI Vector Search, pgvector, etc.) and implementing Semantic Search.
- Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with GCP (Vertex AI) and building scalable software architectures.
- Frameworks: Proficiency in LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar orchestration layers.
- Mindset: A strong software engineering foundation—you write clean, maintainable code and understand the full SDLC.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Proven track record of deploying GenAI products to a production environment.
- Experience with Classic Machine Learning (neural nets, training, tuning) is a strong plus.
- Knowledge of Data Engineering and SQL.
Personal Attributes:
- Ownership: You take pride in your code and see projects through from concept to deployment.
- Curiosity: The AI landscape changes weekly; you are a lifelong learner who stays ahead of the curve.
- Consultative Spirit: You enjoy interacting with clients and can translate technical complexity into business value.
- Ethics: You prioritize responsible AI development and data privacy.
Compensation & Benefits:
This role is eligible for our competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package to support your well-being:
- Comprehensive Health Insurance
- Paid Leave (Vacation/PTO)
- Paid Holidays
- Sick Leave
- Parental Leave
- Bereavement Leave

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
