Job

Senior Software Engineer – AI & Workflow Automation

POSITION TITLE: Senior Software Engineer – AI & Workflow Automation

Location: Hybrid / Remote

About the Role

We're building a small, focused engineering team to use AI, intelligent agents, and automation to transform manual business workflows into efficient, scalable systems.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing and building the systems that make this possible - from automating unstructured data intake to integrating AI-driven logic into existing backend workflows. You'll collaborate closely with the Tech Lead, operations, and other engineers to deliver production-ready automation tools that make a measurable impact.

This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who loves solving open-ended problems, working with emerging technologies, and bringing ideas from prototype to production.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop automation solutions that leverage AI models, rules engines, and workflow orchestration tools.

• Integrate AI-driven components with internal and external services through REST APIs, message queues, or event-driven systems.

• Build and maintain scalable backend systems using Python and frameworks such as FastAPI or Flask.

• Experiment with AI/LLM APIs and frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, LangChain, Hugging Face) to prototype intelligent agents and data extraction solutions.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to identify automation opportunities and translate them into technical designs.

• Ensure quality and reliability, writing clean, testable, and maintainable code.

• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making.

• Support deployments and monitor production systems to ensure uptime and performance.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.

• Strong proficiency in Python, with experience building RESTful APIs and backend systems (FastAPI, Flask, or Django).

• Experience integrating AI/ML frameworks or APIs (e.g., OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI).

• Solid understanding of data modeling, asynchronous programming, and microservice architecture.

• Experience automating or optimizing complex workflows (e.g., using NLP, OCR, or RPA).

• Proficiency in writing robust tests and working within CI/CD pipelines.

• Strong problem-solving ability and curiosity about applying AI to real-world use cases.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with LLMs or AI agents in production.

• Familiarity with workflow engines (Temporal, Step Functions, Airflow).

• Exposure to data transformation, labeling, or prompt design.

• Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Prior experience in enterprise automation or backend system integration.

This role is based in Los Angeles, California and the base pay range for this role is $170,000.00 - $200,000.00 annually. Actual amounts will vary depending on education, skills, experience, and geographic location.
