About the role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI with 6+ years of experience to design, build, and scale the AI systems powering Take2's autonomous healthcare recruiting platform. You should be a hands-on engineer with a genuine ML background who has built agentic workflows and LLM-powered features in production. You'll own applied-AI work end-to-end — from prototyping and model selection through production reliability — as we scale from thousands to millions of candidate conversations. This is a high-ownership role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment.
What will you be doing?
- Design and build LLM-powered features and agentic workflows — including tool/function calling, orchestration, and multi-step agents — and ship them to production
- Select, integrate, evaluate, and tune models for the right balance of quality, latency, cost, and reliability across voice AI pipelines (STT/TTS/VAD)
- Build evaluation, guardrail, and observability systems to ensure AI behavior is measurable and safe at scale
- Own the backend services and data/inference pipelines that serve applied-AI features in production
- Collaborate closely with product and founding engineering to rapidly prototype and deliver with significant ownership over technical direction
