Responsibilities

• Build and maintain core AI platform components including model serving infrastructure, prompt pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and integration patterns.

• Support the development of agentic workflows through orchestration tooling, reliability mechanisms, and platform services.

• Implement observability capabilities for AI systems, including tracing model interactions, monitoring token usage, measuring latency, and tracking quality metrics.

• Contribute to frameworks and tooling that support prompt development, version control, testing, and governance across teams.

• Partner with engineering teams across Real-time Risk, Investigations, Data Fabric, and other domains to support AI integrations.

• Evaluate emerging AI technologies, orchestration patterns, model capabilities, and assessment techniques to determine relevance for the organization.

Suitable for teams developing a web3 talent acquisition strategy around AI infrastructure and platform engineering.

Requirements

• Strong interest in artificial intelligence, large language models, and emerging AI technologies.

• Ability to design and build infrastructure that supports engineering teams through reliability, documentation, and maintainability.

• Comfortable working in evolving environments with incomplete requirements and changing priorities.

• Strong systems-thinking approach with the ability to evaluate dependencies, scalability, extensibility, and failure scenarios.

• Effective communication and collaboration skills.

• Hands-on experience with LLMs or machine learning systems in professional, academic, or personal projects.

• Familiarity with AI protocols including MCP, A2A, ACP, or similar emerging standards.

• Solid software engineering fundamentals, including maintainable and testable code development.

• Deep understanding of context windows and their impact on agentic workflows, including context management concepts.

• Experience or exposure to at least one of the following areas:

• API integration and orchestration

• Data pipeline development

• Model evaluation and testing

• Observability and monitoring systems

• Demonstrated learning mindset and ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies.

Bonus Points
