Pay not stated AI Engineer salary
aimlroles summary, based on the employer's posting.
What you'll do
- Take an unclear problem from scope and architecture through deployment, then refine it using real-world usage
- Break complex tasks into agent work, manage shared context and dependencies, and combine the outputs
- Build the tools and checks agents need for execution, state tracking, evaluation, observability and recovery
- Write and review code, verify agent-generated work, test assumptions and fix integration problems
- Investigate production failures and balance performance, cost and delivery speed
What you bring
- You have two to four years of software engineering experience, including responsibility for production systems
- You have built or substantially adapted agent workflows and can assess their limitations, failures and quality
- You can work confidently with APIs, databases, system design, testing and production debugging
- You can evaluate agent-written code and decide when to delegate, step in or simplify
Who this fits
This role suits an engineer who wants direct ownership of AI-agent workflows and production code. It is remote and asks for clear communication and independent progress in a remote team. You must currently work at a product startup or scale-up.
From the employer
Take an ambiguous problem, define the solution, and ship it. Youʼll direct AI agents across planning, implementation, testing, and deployment—and remain accountable for the code and the result. Youʼll build and evolve the AI harness behind that work: the context, tools, execution environments, checks, and feedback loops that make agents reliable. This requires strong engineering judgment and the ability to get into the code when the work demands it.

Requirements
2–4 years of software engineering experience, with ownership of systems running in production.
Hands-on agent experience: Youʼve built or substantially customized agent workflows and can explain their limits, failure modes, and how you measure quality.
Strong fundamentals: Youʼre comfortable with APIs, databases, system design, testing, and production debugging. You can judge the code an agent writes.
Independent judgment: You know what to delegate, where to intervene, and when to simplify.
Clear communication: You explain decisions, flag uncertainty early, and move work forward in a remote team.

Responsibilities
Concept to production. Define scope and architecture, build the solution, deploy it, and iterate on real usage.
A fleet of agents. Decompose complex work, manage context and dependencies, coordinate parallel execution, and integrate the results.
The harness. Build tooling for execution, tool access, state, evaluation, observability, and failure recovery.
Code quality. Write and review code, challenge agent output, test assumptions, and resolve integration issues.
Production reliability. Debug failures and make deliberate tradeoffs across performance, cost, and delivery speed.
