The Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer, AI/ML (Infrastructure & Platform) to build the foundational systems that power our next generation of AI applications.

This is a systems-focused role. You will design and build the platforms, abstractions, and infrastructure that enable teams to reliably develop, deploy, and scale AI systems — including agentic workflows, retrieval pipelines, and model integrations.

You will operate at the intersection of AI systems and distributed infrastructure, focusing on the “how” behind production AI: how models are orchestrated, how tools/skills are exposed and executed, and how systems are evaluated, monitored, and scaled in real-world environments.

Your work will directly enable product teams to move faster while ensuring our AI systems are reliable, observable, secure, and cost-efficient.

 
 
What You Will DoBuild core AI infrastructure
  • Design and implement platforms for LLM orchestration, tool execution, and agent workflows

  • Develop shared services and abstractions used across multiple AI applications

Build AI capability layers (tools / skills)
  • Design and implement tools (“skills”) that agents and applications rely on, including APIs, workflows, and integrations

  • Define clear interfaces for capabilities such as data retrieval, calculations, document processing, and external system actions

  • Build reusable, composable abstractions that enable safe and scalable tool usage across systems

  • Ensure tools are reliable, observable, and secure, especially when interacting with sensitive data

Enable agentic systems at scale
  • Build infrastructure to support multi-step agents (state management, tool routing, retries, failure handling)

  • Design systems where agents reason over and invoke tools/skills reliably

  • Create reusable orchestration patterns between models and capabilities

Develop evaluation and observability systems
  • Build frameworks for offline and online evaluation of AI systems

  • Implement logging, tracing, and monitoring for model behavior and system performance

Own reliability and performance
  • Design systems for high availability, fault tolerance, and graceful degradation

  • Optimize for latency, throughput, and cost across AI workloads

Build data and retrieval infrastructure
  • Develop scalable RAG pipelines, indexing systems, and data processing workflows

  • Own infrastructure for handling large-scale structured and unstructured data

Create internal platforms and developer tooling
  • Build tools, SDKs, and internal platforms that enable engineers to integrate AI capabilities quickly and safely

  • Standardize best practices across teams (prompting, evaluation, deployment)

Work closely with product and AI teams
  • Partner with AI Applications engineers to support production use cases

  • Translate product needs into scalable infrastructure solutions

 
 
Qualifications
  • A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience)

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including system design, distributed systems, and writing maintainable code

  • Proven track record of building and operating production systems at scale

  • Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, C#, and comfort working across a polyglot stack, picking up new languages and frameworks as needed

  • Experience building backend systems, APIs, or infrastructure platforms

  • Experience working with AI/ML systems in production, including LLM integrations or data pipelines

  • Experience designing or integrating systems with tool/skill abstractions (e.g., function calling, APIs, or capability layers used by AI systems)

  • Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with high ownership

 
 
Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points)
  • Experience building AI platforms or infrastructure layers (not just applications)

  • Experience with:

    • RAG systems, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector)

    • Agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LangChain, or custom systems)

    • Evaluation and observability tooling for AI systems

  • Experience designing or building tooling layers (skills/capabilities) for AI systems

  • Experience designing scalable distributed systems or platform abstractions

  • Experience with cloud infrastructure such as:

    • GCP (Cloud Run) or AWS (ECS, Lambda)

    • Containerized or serverless deployments

  • Experience with event-driven systems, queues, and async processing

  • Experience with MLOps, CI/CD, and production monitoring

  • Experience working in regulated domains (LegalTech, FinTech, HealthTech)

  • Familiarity with data privacy and security techniques (e.g., PII handling, redaction)

 
You Might Be a Fit If
  • You enjoy building systems and platforms that other engineers depend on

  • You think in terms of abstractions, capabilities, and reusable systems

  • You care about how AI systems behave in production at scale

  • You’re comfortable working across AI systems and infrastructure layers

  • You take ownership of ambiguous problems and drive them to robust solutions

 
You Might Not Be a Fit If
  • You prefer working primarily on frontend or user-facing features

  • Your experience is limited to experimentation without production systems

  • You are less interested in infrastructure, reliability, or platform design

 
Benefits & Perks
  • Competitive salary.

  • Hybrid work in the New York area

  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance options, with low-cost premium structures that demonstrate our commitment to offering great value to our employees.

  • 100% company-paid basic life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance.

  • 100% paid parental leave upon eligibility.

  • Company equity managed through Carta.

  • 401k with match and 100% vesting upon hire.

  • Flexible PTO in an environment where taking time off to relax or recharge is supported and encouraged.

  • Take time off for holidays—and yes, your birthday counts too. Celebrate, relax, and recharge without thinking twice.

Wealth is an equal opportunity employer and encourages people from all backgrounds to apply. Should you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please let us know.
