[Hiring] Senior Applied AI Engineer @Ozmo

Role Description

• Build and ship production-grade agentic AI products that solve real, mission-critical enterprise problems.
• Own the full product lifecycle from discovery and prototyping through customer pilots, GA, and ongoing iteration.
• Design agentic architectures with LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, PydanticAI, or equivalent:
  • Planning
  • Decomposition
  • Tool use
  • Multi-step workflows
  • Memory
  • State management
  • Self-correction
  • Human-in-the-loop patterns
• Build the agent infrastructure layer including MCP servers/tools, skills, agent gateways, and agent-to-agent communication.
• Build the knowledge and retrieval layer including RAG, hybrid graph/vector retrieval, taxonomy, ontology, metadata, provenance, and content lifecycle management.
• Design for enterprise-grade security and trust, including:
  • Authorization
  • Tenant isolation
  • Auditability
  • Guardrails
  • Prompt-injection protection
  • Controlled tool access
• Build rigorous evaluation and observability systems that measure:
  • Task success
  • Quality
  • Latency
  • Cost
  • Drift
  • Reliability
• Make sound architectural tradeoffs about when to use agents versus deterministic software, balancing accuracy, reliability, latency, complexity, and cost.
• Own systems in production end-to-end, including deployment, monitoring, incident response, performance, reliability, and cost.
• Create reusable patterns and tooling, mentor other engineers, and help establish how Ozmo builds with AI.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with substantial experience building and operating production SaaS.
• 2+ years of hands-on production LLM/agent experience, with demonstrated systems shipped to real users.
• Proven track record of taking AI products from prototype through pilot and into production, ideally in customer-facing environments.
• Practical experience using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or similar tools as part of your day-to-day development.
• Deep hands-on experience building agentic systems, including tool use, orchestration, planning, multi-agent workflows, and human-in-the-loop systems.
• Strong understanding of AI infrastructure, particularly MCP, agent gateways, skills, memory, evaluation, observability, and interoperability.
• Strong knowledge of RAG and knowledge systems, including hybrid retrieval, vector + graph databases, metadata, taxonomy/ontology, and retrieval evaluation.
• Strong enterprise engineering fundamentals, including multi-tenancy, security, authorization, auditability, reliability, and distributed systems.
• Production cloud-native experience, including Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, Docker, and AWS/Azure/GCP.
• Expert-level Python and strong software architecture skills, including API design, data modeling, testing, performance, and distributed systems.
• Exceptional technical judgment and communication, with the ability to explain non-deterministic AI behavior, make pragmatic tradeoffs, mentor engineers, and take ownership of outcomes.

Benefits

• Medical, vision, dental and life insurance along with short- and long-term disability.
• Plenty of paid time off (PTO) that grows the longer you’re with Ozmo, as well as paid holidays.
• 401k to save for retirement with employer matching.
• Paid maternity and bonding leave for new parents.
