Artificial Intelligence Engineer

A top SF-based startup is looking for a strong software engineer to join their growing technology team on a full-time basis. This company builds autonomous AI systems that operate factories. The company connects fragmented systems inside manufacturing facilities into a unified data layer, then deploys AI agents that optimize decisions across entire operations for profit. They are looking for a Member of Technical Staff with 2+ years of experience to join an early-stage team. You should be a high-ownership, independent technical builder who is comfortable shipping to messy, real-world environments — whether your background is in systems programming, agent orchestration, quantitative work, or founding your own company. What will you be doing? Owning and shipping entire customer-facing features from ideation through deployment — e.g., building collaborative AI-assisted chat interfaces for factory operators Building and extending AI agent orchestration systems that optimize factory scheduling, dispatch work to operators, and drive indirect labor costs toward zero Working with the platform's unified data layer that connects legacy factory systems (ERPs, MES, PLCs, spreadsheets) into real-time operational intelligence Applying context engineering, agent harnesses, small model training, and RL techniques to deploy AI that makes high-leverage decisions in production environments Collaborating directly with customers and deploying features that have immediate, visible impact on factory throughput and profitability #J-18808-Ljbffr
