The Junior GenAI Engineer will focus on developing the AI components of the product, including CS Copilot (real-time call intelligence), LLM-powered document understanding, and AI-driven feature pipelines. This position entails creating authentic AI-integrated systems with guidance from senior engineers, with the goal of independently managing AI features end-to-end within 12-18 months. The ideal candidate should have a solid engineering background and the capability to incorporate AI into a production codebase with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop the AI layer of the company’s product, such as CS Copilot, LLM-powered document understanding, and AI feature pipelines
  • Implement AI integration within a production-level codebase
  • Progress to full ownership of AI features from start to finish within 12-18 months
  • Construct genuine AI-integrated systems and analyze their failure modes to prevent recurring errors

Qualifications

  • 1.5 to 4 years of professional full-time software development experience (internships excluded)
  • Strong foundational engineering skills, including at least basic backend expertise
  • Demonstrated experience building real AI-integrated systems, beyond simple API wrappers or tutorials
  • Experience incorporating AI into actual data workflows rather than isolated scripts
  • Understanding of AI failure modes (e.g., hallucinations, irrelevant responses, latency issues) and strategies for mitigation
  • Ability to perform basic evaluation or quality assessments of AI outputs (such as manual tests, human reviews, or accuracy validations)
  • Proficiency in Python for backend development; familiarity with FastAPI, Django, Go, or Node.js is highly desirable
  • Experience deploying or hosting AI services, including cloud functions or containerized environments
  • Record of self-driven AI projects or contributions beyond formal job duties or academic coursework
  • Publicly visible technical contributions (e.g., GitHub repositories with substantial AI projects, technical blogs, Kaggle or Hugging Face involvement)
  • A demonstrable trajectory of growth in AI system development, extending beyond basic API utilization
