[Hiring] AI Platform Engineer @GiveCampus

Role Description

GiveCampus has spent the last 18 months getting good at using AI. People use it every day, and we've shipped agents and apps that changed how work gets done:

• A codebase agent that answers questions no doc can
• An RFP agent
• A support knowledge bot
• A feature request agent
• A data integrations assistant for our Partners

Now, we are ready to take it to the next level. You'll design, build, and operate the next generation of AI Infrastructure at GiveCampus, including:

• Sources of company and Partner context
• A clear model for who and what can access which data
• A registry of what's already been built
• Memory that carries across agents
• Guardrails that let us move fast without losing track of what our agents are doing

This is a platform role. You'll work alongside a product partner and co-builder (the AI Transformation Lead) who owns prioritization, stakeholder management, and adoption, so you can spend your time on architecture and engineering.

Qualifications

• Six or more years of software engineering experience, including meaningful time owning platform, infrastructure, or backend systems in production
• Hands on experience shipping LLM systems with real users: retrieval, tool use, evaluations, and MCP or similar integration patterns
• Strong Python, plus experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), authentication, and observability
• A security mindset: you think about access, data boundaries, and failure modes before something ships
• A record of building internal platforms or shared services that other people adopted
• Experience growing a system from an early version into something a whole company depends on
• Appetite to grow into the technical lead for AI across the company
• Real excitement about AI and a drive to keep learning
• You judge your work by business results, not by what shipped
• Comfort working from requirements set with a product partner
• Clear written communication with technical and non-technical teammates

Requirements

• Experience with agent orchestration, multi-agent systems, or agent governance tooling
• Familiarity with Snowflake, dbt, or a semantic layer
• Experience with Salesforce data and APIs
• Time at a startup or small team where you were the first person to own a system

Benefits

• Remote-first role based in the U.S.
• Flexible, distributed work with in-person connection opportunities
• Beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC available for use
• Regular team meet-ups, partner institution visits, and retreats
