Lead AI Engineer at Upwork

This role is ideal for a senior-level engineer who bridges the gap between deep **Data Engineering** and modern **Applied AI**. You should have a proven track record of moving Generative AI projects beyond the "experiment" phase into production-grade systems, specifically focusing on agentic workflows and LLM orchestration within an enterprise data environment. Financially, the position offers a strong base salary (up to $215k) plus an annual bonus and equity incentives. As a fully remote role within a "remote-first" culture, it offers significant geographic flexibility across 21 U.S. states. You’ll be at the forefront of the company's internal transformation, building the tools that democratize data access for the entire global organization. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have hands-on experience building **agentic frameworks** that coordinate multiple LLMs to solve complex tasks. * Are an expert in **Python and SQL**, particularly within a **Snowflake** ecosystem. * Know how to build and maintain "Natural Language to SQL" (NLQ) systems that allow non-technical users to query data safely. * Can design rigorous evaluation frameworks to measure LLM accuracy and reliability.
