Staff Software Engineer, AI at Lattice

This is a senior individual contributor role for a seasoned AI expert who bridges the gap between research and production. The ideal candidate has over 8 years of software experience, with at least 5 years specifically building LLM-driven systems. You should be an expert in Python and agentic frameworks like LangGraph, with a proven track record of moving beyond simple prompts to architecting complex RAG pipelines and automated evaluation frameworks. The role offers a competitive salary range of $187.5k–$199.5k plus equity, and it is fully remote within the US. However, a unique constraint is that **candidates in the SF Bay Area or NY Metro Area cannot be considered.** For those eligible, you’ll enjoy high-impact leadership responsibilities, a dedicated learning and development budget, and the chance to set the technical standard for AI across a platform used by over 5,000 companies. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have deep experience managing LLM failure modes, hallucinations, and performance metrics in production. * Are proficient in LangGraph, LangSmith, and vector databases like Pinecone. * Excel at "build-vs-buy" decision-making regarding LLM providers and infrastructure. * Prioritize system reliability, observability, and clean Python code over "cool" but fragile AI experiments.
