# Senior AI Engineer - Core

Hilbert is building a reasoning engine that must navigate non-deterministic user behavior across data silos - turning months-long decision cycles into minutes.

We're looking for an AI Engineer who can build production-grade AI systems end-to-end - from prototype to pipeline to product - with the ownership and urgency of a startup culture. This is not a "wire up a prompt chain and move on" role. You'll own core pieces of the AI stack that power Hilbert's demand intelligence platform - designing agent architectures, building evaluation systems, and making hard tradeoffs between accuracy, latency, and cost in production.
