About the role
We are hiring a Senior AI Engineer to help build the core systems behind The Hog, an AI-native platform that automates growth, prospecting, and revenue generation for B2B companies.
This is a senior, hands-on role. You will design and build production-grade AI systems end to end, work directly with customers, and own large parts of the technical surface area. You should enjoy ambiguous problems, heavy systems work, and talking to users as much as writing code.
This role is ideal for someone who wants real ownership, high impact, and proximity to customers without the title baggage.
What you will do
- Design and build AI-driven systems that run continuously in production
- Own backend and full-stack features from idea to deployment
- Build and maintain reliable async systems (jobs, queues, workflows, retries, failure handling)
- Work directly with customers to understand problems, debug issues, and ship improvements quickly
- Design clean service boundaries and APIs across a growing system
- Help set technical direction, patterns, and quality bars as the team scales
- Operate and improve production systems (observability, reliability, performance)
What we are looking for
- Available for full-time hours
- Be able to work during PST (Pacific Time Zone)
- Strong systems engineer with deep backend experience
- Comfortable across the stack (Node, TypeScript, Next.js)
- Customer-obsessed and opinionated about developer and user experience
- Enjoys ambiguity and building from first principles
- Able to reason about scale, failure modes, and long-running processes
- Communicates clearly with both engineers and customers
Experience
- At least 7 years of professional software engineering experience
