Whether you're new to crypto or an experienced user, Trust Wallet makes it easier, safer, and more convenient to explore Web3, securely access dApps, manage your crypto, and buy and sell digital assets, all in one place.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Lead AI Engineer to own the backend and Agent systems behind our LLM-powered products. The role is end to end: you'll build the Agent workflows, define how we measure quality, keep them reliable in production, and shape where the product goes next.\nThis role is for someone who has shipped LLM features to real users, stayed with them after launch, and can prove with data that their changes made things better.\nJob Scope:\nBuild and own AI backend and Agent workflows\nDesign, build, and maintain multi-turn conversation systems, including context management, tool calling, knowledge retrieval (RAG), state management, and human handoff.\n\nDrive evaluation and continuous improvement\nDefine success criteria with Product, Design, and QA leads.\n\nTurn production failures into evaluation samples and regression tests.\n\nMeasure the impact and side effects of every change before and after release.\n\nDiagnose problems across the stack\nIsolate the root cause of failures: model judgment, knowledge gaps, abnormal tool responses, backend instability, or conflicting rules.\n\nApply the right fix for each cause rather than defaulting to prompt tweaks.\n\nOwn production reliability\nHandle timeouts, retries, graceful degradation, async jobs, and third-party dependency failures.\n\nMake sure every issue is traceable through logs, every change is versioned, and every failure has a recovery path.\n\nShape product and technical decisions\nGive clear, reasoned positions on requirements, covering feasibility, cost, risk, and alternatives.\n\nPropose better approaches and break work into phased, shippable deliverables.\n\nCommunicate proactively and follow through\nShare progress, blockers, ETAs, and next checkpoints without needing to be chased.\n\nAfter launch, track real-world impact and leave clear documentation and handover materials.\n\nRequirements:\nProduction LLM/Agent experience at scale. You've built LLM or Agent features used by 10,000+ active users, and you've maintained and improved them after launch.\n\nStrong backend engineering fundamentals. You're comfortable owning production code, APIs, data flows, and incident troubleshooting. Experience designing and implement backend services in Golang and integrate with LLMs and AI systems.\n\nReal evaluation discipline. You've built evaluation sets, regression suites, and production monitoring, and you can explain how you confirmed an improvement was real rather than random fluctuation.\n\nOwnership mindset. You make decisions, surface risks early, and don't consider a feature done until it's verified in production.\n\nWeb3 experience. Preferably 1 year of experience in a crypto, DeFi, or Web3 company (wallet, exchange, L1/L2 protocol, or DeFi platform strongly preferred)\n\nAdditional Information\nThis is a global and fully remote role. You must have the right to work for the country you are based.\nWhy work at Trust Wallet?\nBe a part of the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem that continues to grow.\n\nExcellent learning and career development opportunities.\n\nWork alongside diverse, world-class talent, in an environment where learning and growth opportunities are endless.\n\nTackle fast-paced, challenging and unique projects.\n\nWork in a truly global organization, with international teams and a flat organizational structure.\n\nWork fully remotely with flexible working hours.\n\nEnjoy competitive salary and benefits.\n\nApply today to join our team in building the world’s most trusted and secure crypto wallet and enable a decentralized future for everyone.\nTrust Wallet is committed to being an equal opportunity employer. We believe that having a diverse workforce is fundamental to our success.\n*Due to the large amount of the applications, please consider your application as unsuccessful should you not be contacted within 4 weeks from your application date.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4200,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Web3 & dApps","Crypto Wallets"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T07:54:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":76,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.84,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":26,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:mid","comp:remote"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/trust-wallet-lead-ai-engineer-llm-agents","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/trust-wallet-lead-ai-engineer-llm-agents.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T19:11:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26330,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3612},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3612"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftrust-wallet-lead-ai-engineer-llm-agents"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftrust-wallet-lead-ai-engineer-llm-agents"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftrust-wallet-lead-ai-engineer-llm-agents"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/trust-wallet-lead-ai-engineer-llm-agents\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftrust-wallet-lead-ai-engineer-llm-agents"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1674755}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"trustwallet.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1674755},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
