AI Engineer (FDE)
New York City - Onsite
Competitive base + uncapped bonus upside (OTE up to $500k+)
We're working with a high-growth AI company building and deploying production systems for enterprise customers. This is a hands-on engineering role: real codebases, real users, and software that has to hold up once it's live.
You'll be a well-rounded, full-stack engineer who's comfortable owning work end-to-end, from the front end through backend services and infrastructure. Alongside that, you'll work closely with customers to understand their problems and ship AI-driven solutions that fit into how their teams actually operate.
What you'll do:
- Design, build, and maintain modern web applications end-to-end, across React/TypeScript and backend services.
- Build and ship agentic AI applications using modern LLMs, integrated into real enterprise systems and data.
- Own architecture, implementation, and deployment. Nothing gets handed off.
- Ramp fast into unfamiliar codebases, from greenfield to legacy.
- Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and whatever ships next) to move quickly without dropping quality.
What we're looking for:
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with production software shipped on a team.
- Strong full-stack ability: React/TypeScript on the front, Python and/or Node and backend infrastructure behind it.
- Hands-on experience building agentic applications with LLMs, RAG, or similar.
- Comfort operating with high autonomy in ambiguous, fast-moving situations.
- A formal computer science or engineering background is a plus, as is prior tech lead or founder/CTO experience.
- Public GitHub, side projects, or shipped work that shows real technical depth is a strong signal.
