## Job description

WE’RE HIRING! If you love data and are looking for unlimited growth opportunities, we want to talk with you about joining Further.

Further is a data, cloud, and AI company whose focus is helping companies turn raw data into the right decisions. We have an [award winning culture](https://www.gofurther.com/who-we-are) of extraordinary people. Our purpose is to enable people to thrive so that businesses can thrive. We believe that the work you do should matter - it should be meaningful to you professionally and personally, and it should have a positive impact on both you and our clients.  If this sounds exciting to you, let’s chat!

## SENIOR AI ENGINEER

We are hiring a Senior AI Engineer to lead the development of our cloud-based (Google Cloud), commercial AI products. You will bridge the gap between experimental data science prototypes and production-grade software. You will architect the robust systems and LLMOps workflows necessary to transform AI models into reliable, enterprise-ready applications. By designing stable backend architectures and seamless integration layers, you will ensure our AI solutions are not just functional, but ethical, efficient, and high-value products that meet the rigorous demands of our commercial clients.

What experience should you have:

- 12+ years of years experience developing and deploying Data Science and ML solutions
- 3+ years of experience working directly with GenAI/RAG/LLM architecture
- Expert proficiency in Python AI application development and modern API architecture (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) using enterprise standards like static type checking and data validation.
- Deep experience building production applications with LLM frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph or LlamaIndex.
- Hands-on expertise with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, PostgreSQL) and search algorithms.
- Strong understanding of LLMOps principles, including model registry, versioning, and serving infrastructure specifically in Google Cloud.
- Nice to have: Experience in Typescript development for prototyping and integrations
- Nice to have: Proficiency with git workflows and understanding of standard application development processes

## Preferred Qualifications

- Knowledge of advanced prompt engineering and fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, PEFT).
- Experience optimizing inference costs and latency for large-scale deployments.
- Previous experience in a client-facing consulting role, managing diverse stakeholders and navigating complex organizational structures.
- Any Google Cloud Professional Certification

What you’ll be doing in this role:

- Lead the implementation of rigorous evaluation frameworks to monitor model performance, drift, and cost in real-time.
- Architect and develop high-performance backend services and APIs using Python (FastAPI) to serve large language models at scale.
- Design advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, selecting and managing vector databases and optimizing embedding strategies for accuracy and speed.
- Establish comprehensive model observability and guardrail systems to monitor real-time performance, detect distribution drift, and implement automated safety filters that mitigate hallucinations, bias, and toxic outputs in production environments.
- Build robust integration layers that connect AI agents securely to external enterprise systems, CRMs, and legacy databases.
- Conduct code reviews, provide technical guidance, and foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation within the engineering team.
- Collaborate with infrastructure teams to define deployment strategies, ensuring solutions scale dynamically under load.
- Define the end-to-end architecture for AI products on cloud platforms (preferably Google Cloud Platform), ensuring high availability, security, and cost-effectiveness.

What you’ll need to accomplish in your first year:

- Develop reusable internal libraries and architectural patterns and standards to accelerate the delivery of AI solutions across multiple client engagements.
- Mentor engineers on best practices for building deterministic software around probabilistic AI models.

Our [total rewards program](https://www.gofurther.com/resources/total-rewards) is designed for your protection, peace of mind, and overall well-being. In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.
