About the role
Payments products have no tolerance for flaky features, so this search was for an AI engineer with backend discipline: someone who has shipped LLM-powered features to customers, instrumented them, and improved them after launch. The role sits inside the product engineering org and builds features like risk signals, support automation, and merchant-facing assistants on top of a high-throughput, event-driven system.
What the role owned
- LLM-powered product features from design through production operation.
- Retrieval, evaluation, and monitoring so features stay accurate as data and models change.
- Backend services in Python and TypeScript inside an event-driven, high-volume platform.
- Working with product and risk teams to ship features that hold up under real transaction volume.
What the client was looking for
- Has shipped customer-facing AI features, not internal experiments.
- Strong backend engineering fundamentals and production operations experience.
- Knows when to prompt, retrieve, fine-tune, or go agentic, and can explain the tradeoffs.
- Comfortable in a fast, remote-first engineering culture with a high bar.
Nice to have
- Fintech, payments, or fraud and risk experience.
- Fine-tuning or large-scale evaluation pipelines.
