About the Role
As a Sr. Software Engineer, GenAI at Instrumentl, youâll own the full lifecycle of AI featuresâfrom rapid prototyping to production deployment and ongoing evaluation. You will build agentic LLM systems that can plan and use tools, implement RAG pipelines over our domain data, manage and evolve embeddings and indices, and stand up evaluation/observability so our AI is grounded, safe, and costâeffective.
Our ideal candidate is a strong software engineer, has experience building AI features and most importantly eager to learn, willing to experiment, and excited to empower both teammates and customers to accelerate social progress and propel innovation.
Youâll embed with one of the above groups in a hands-on role, collaborating closely with Product and Design, while partnering with DTI on platformâlevel AI capabilities.
The Instrumentl team is fully distributed (though if youâd like to work from our Oakland office, we would love to see you there). For this position, we are looking for candidates based in the United States who have significant overlap with Pacific Time Zone working hours.
