If you love data and are looking for unlimited growth opportunities, we want to talk with you about joining Further.\nFurther 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 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!\nSENIOR AI ENGINEER\nWe 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.\nWhat experience should you have:\n12+ years of years experience developing and deploying Data Science and ML solutions\n3+ years of experience working directly with GenAI/RAG/LLM architecture\nExpert proficiency in Python AI application development and modern API architecture (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) using enterprise standards like static type checking and data validation.\nDeep experience building production applications with LLM frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph or LlamaIndex.\nHands-on expertise with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, PostgreSQL) and search algorithms.\nStrong understanding of LLMOps principles, including model registry, versioning, and serving infrastructure specifically in Google Cloud.\nNice to have: Experience in Typescript development for prototyping and integrations\nNice to have: Proficiency with git workflows and understanding of standard application development processes\nPreferred Qualifications\nKnowledge of advanced prompt engineering and fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, PEFT).\nExperience optimizing inference costs and latency for large-scale deployments.\nPrevious experience in a client-facing consulting role, managing diverse stakeholders and navigating complex organizational structures.\nAny Google Cloud Professional Certification\nWhat you’ll be doing in this role:\nLead the implementation of rigorous evaluation frameworks to monitor model performance, drift, and cost in real-time.\nArchitect and develop high-performance backend services and APIs using Python (FastAPI) to serve large language models at scale.\nDesign advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, selecting and managing vector databases and optimizing embedding strategies for accuracy and speed.\nEstablish 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.\nBuild robust integration layers that connect AI agents securely to external enterprise systems, CRMs, and legacy databases.\nConduct code reviews, provide technical guidance, and foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation within the engineering team.\nCollaborate with infrastructure teams to define deployment strategies, ensuring solutions scale dynamically under load.\nDefine the end-to-end architecture for AI products on cloud platforms (preferably Google Cloud Platform), ensuring high availability, security, and cost-effectiveness.\nWhat you’ll need to accomplish in your first year:\nDevelop reusable internal libraries and architectural patterns and standards to accelerate the delivery of AI solutions across multiple client engagements.\nMentor engineers on best practices for building deterministic software around probabilistic AI models.\nOur total rewards program 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.\nApply today or check out all our opportunities!\n#LI-Remote\n#LI-Hybrid\n#LI-Onsite\nBy submitting your application, you consent to our collection, processing and disclosure of the contained personal data in accordance with our data practices.
