We're looking for an AI Engineer to help build the systems that make that possible.\nA small business’s goal from LemonLime starts as vague as “get me customers.” Turning that into actual results for them requires much more than a single model call or workflow. The system needs to understand the team, the business, the industry, the competition, the trends, the meta, all of it, and from there: determine what strategies make sense, gather external information, generate outputs, evaluate its own work and run simulations, and continue to learn over time.\nThis means getting a system to do things correctly, autonomously, and repeatedly for thousands of different businesses.\nWhat you'll do\nAgent orchestration, long-running workflows, retrieval and context management, structured generation, tool use, evaluations, data pipelines, and production infrastructure.\nCombine model reasoning with deterministic software (seriously, this is a huge component)\nIntegrate models with APIs, external data sources, browsers, databases, and third-party tools.\nShip constantly, adapt to flows that actually work for real customers (user feedback through observed behavior is law), and rebuild and design what isn’t working.\nWork across the stack when necessary. There is no boundary where “the AI work” ends and traditional software engineering begins, we simply do too much across the board too fast to define those lines.\nYou might be a fit if\nYou have incredibly strong fundamental understanding of software development and architecture outside of using AI\nYou know how to and have experience with using AI to build (not just Claude Code - the step above that)\nYou're up to date with models, tools, agents, software, the benefits, tradeoffs, risks for each, etc\nYou move extremely fast and can ship at speed with minimal failure risk\nOur technology\nWe combine frontier models with deterministic software; sometimes, we just have to bake things in ourselves.\nOur work touches agent orchestration, retrieval, structured LLM outputs, evaluation systems, long-running jobs, data pipelines, third-party integrations, and large-scale model inference. Our broader stack includes modern TypeScript/Python services, Postgres/Supabase, Vercel, PostHog, and a growing ecosystem of APIs and external data sources.\nWe deliberately know not everything should be or needs to be an agent.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2441,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sales & Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T20:34:43Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":113,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":120000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lemonlime-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lemonlime-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-29T04:40:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4425,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":575,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-30T00:00:00Z"}}}
