Senior AI Engineer — Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

Relocation assistance is provided for candidates out-of-state.

The Company

This AI-native startup raised $30M seed and is building a revolutionary AI product. The product works by gathering a company’s information from across its many systems and organizes it so AI agents can work with real business context, while the product is installed in the customer’s own environment (on-prem). The company has early design partners ranging from healthcare, government, retail, and enterprise companies partnering with them and preparing for a production launch next year.

Your Mission

As an Senior AI Engineer, you'll be more than just a builder, you'll be a self-starter and create solutions from vague direction. You'll help grow the core product, create agent toolkits for customers, and become a go-to resource for the team when it comes to AI best practices and clever solutions. When the product launches, you'll work directly with customers to get everything up and running on-premises and ensure they're set up for success. If you're looking for a role where you can code all day without talking to anyone, this isn't it. You'll collaborate with customers, partner with engineers, share ideas, and see a real impact with your efforts.

The Team

The engineering team is a collaborative and fun group, who are energetic and willing to learn. They do happy hours, get together for coding sessions, and do team outings (ice skating included). The team is excited to welcome their newest member.

What You'll Do

• Build the Foundation. Help design and develop the core AI platform that supports agent ecosystem.

• Create Intelligent Agents. Design, build, and optimize AI agents, orchestration frameworks, tools, memory systems, and workflows that solve real customer problems.

• Own Outcomes. Take broad goals and turn them into shipped solutions.

• Lead by Example. Set the standard for engineering excellence through your work.

• Move Fast. Thrive in a startup environment where priorities shift, new opportunities emerge, and no two weeks look exactly the same.

• Collaborate Across Teams. Work closely with product, leadership, and fellow engineers to turn ideas into reality.

• Work With Customers. Partner directly with customers during deployments, onboarding, and feedback sessions. You'll see firsthand how your work impacts their business and use those insights to improve the product.

• Deliver Real Impact. This isn't a role where your code disappears into a backlog. You'll build features, agents, and platform capabilities that customers use every day, giving you direct visibility into the results of your work.
