About the role
We are looking for an AI Engineer with 5–10+ years of experience to own the technical build-out of a custom AI/LLM platform for one of the top 5 banks in the US. You'll be part of a tight-knit, execution-focused team at a Series A startup that ships real AI in production — not papers, not prototypes. This is a high-ownership role where you'll work closely with both the core engineering team and a marquee enterprise customer to make things work end-to-end.
What will you be doing?
- Fork and customize the core AI/LLM platform for a top-5 bank's environment, owning the full technical build from architecture to deployment
- Collaborate daily with the Israel-based engineering team to merge customer-specific work with the main product repo
- Own production deployments, integrations, and reliability of AI/LLM systems in a regulated enterprise environment
- Serve as the go-to technical point of contact for the bank's engineering stakeholders (~20% customer-facing)
- Troubleshoot complex production issues and drive solutions end-to-end with high independence
