About the Role
We are seeking an experienced AI Automation Engineer/Architect to architect and implement next-generation AI systems and automation frameworks. This position is ideal for someone with deep expertise in LLMs, agentic AI workflows, and scalable cloud-based systems.
This is a contract role with the potential to evolve into a direct hire position as the AI program continues to expand.
Key Responsibilities

- Lead model deployment and optimization: Fine-tune Gemini-based models, improve performance, and manage cost-efficient production pipelines.
- Establish AI engineering standards: Build and document best practices for scalable, maintainable AI agent development.
- Collaborate with consulting and internal engineering teams: Oversee architecture reviews and transition AI systems from outsourced partners to in-house management.
- Ensure scalability and reliability: Design, deploy, and optimize production-grade AI workflows in a secure cloud environment.
Top 3 Priorities
- Architect and approve consulting work from a team of 7, transitioning efforts to internal support.
- Develop and deploy scalable Agentic AI frameworks using LangGraph, ADK, and Vertex AI.
- Define and implement AI engineering standards across development teams.
Must Haves
- Bachelor’s degree (preferred).
- 6+ years of hands-on experience in system admin/engineering and AI engineering roles.
- Proven experience designing and implementing AI Agent Frameworks using LangGraph, LangChain, or Google ADK/Agent Engine.
- Deep expertise in LLMs (e.g., Gemini) and RAG system design.
- Strong proficiency in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Vertex AI.
- Solid programming skills in Python.
- Understanding of agentic workflows, including planning, tool use, autonomous task execution, and memory management.
- Experience with vector databases (e.g., Redis) and embedding models.
- Familiarity with DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code for AI systems.
- Ability to design, deploy, and optimize production-grade AI systems in a scalable, secure cloud environment.
Preferred / Nice to Have:
- Full-stack experience with React.js, Next.js, or Vercel.
- Exposure to MLOps or Terraform (infrastructure-as-code).
- Experience in cloud-native or enterprise-scale AI/ML environments.
Team & Culture
You’ll be joining a small, highly collaborative AI and data engineering team that’s building out an advanced automation and AI infrastructure from the ground up.
This is a great opportunity for self-driven, curious innovators who thrive in fast-paced environments and can translate cutting-edge AI concepts into production-grade systems.
The team is in the early stages of bringing AI automation capabilities in-house after previously working with external consultants—this role will be instrumental in shaping that transition and future roadmap.
Ideal Background
Successful candidates often come from:
- Cloud-native AI startups
- Google Cloud ecosystem companies
- Enterprise-scale AI/ML platform teams
Interview Process
- Technical assessment (Codabyte test, 1–3 hours on AI frameworks and LLM tools).
- Two rounds of interviews focused on system architecture and implementation expertise.
Why This Opportunity
- Build and own the technical architecture for a cutting-edge AI automation initiative.
- Work hands-on with Gemini LLMs, LangGraph, ADK, and Vertex AI.
- Join a company with a strong culture of innovation, collaboration, and respect.
- Make a direct, visible impact on real-time data systems processing over a billion events per day.
- Enjoy a flexible, supportive work environment where leadership prioritizes AI-driven innovation (and work-life balance).
