SKE Risepoint is hiring a ​Senior AI Engineer (Evals/Observability Concentration)

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain evaluation frameworks (LLM-as-Judge, rubric-based scoring, regression test suites) to measure output quality, reliability, and drift with the responsibility of debugging production level issues as detected.
  • Architect and implement multi-agent workflows with clear coordination, tool usage, and failure handling patterns.
  • Build structured observability into AI systems (tracing, prompt/version tracking, evaluation logging, cost and latency monitoring).
  • Define and enforce quality gates for AI features using automated evals prior to production release.
  • Optimize inference performance (latency, token usage, caching, batching, routing across models).
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into testable AI system designs.
  • Contribute to code reviews, architectural discussions, and internal standards for AI development.
  • Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using structured and unstructured enterprise data.
  • Develop and manage fine-tuning workflows (SFT, preference optimization, or related techniques) including dataset preparation, versioning, and validation.

Requirements

  • 3-5 years of full stack engineering experience with strong fundamentals in object-oriented programming, applicable design patterns, and AI-focused system design.
  • Professional experience in Python, C#, Java, or a similar language used in production systems.
  • Experience with LLM evaluation and observability tooling (e.g. Langfuse, LangSmith, OpenTelemetry-based tracing, custom evaluation harnesses).
  • Experience implementing guardrails, policy enforcement, and safety layers in AI driven systems while leveraging LLM-as-Judge for validation and continuous improvement.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with performance optimization techniques for LLM-based systems (latency, caching, routing, batching).
  • Experience building production-grade RAG systems (retrieval pipelines, chunking strategies, embeddings, reranking, context construction).
  • Experience contributing to internal AI standards, reusable frameworks, or platform-level tooling.
  • Experience deploying AI systems in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Experience in Databricks (model serving endpoints, ML Flow)
