The role
You will design, build and ship AI systems that run in production for enterprise customers: LLM-powered copilots, agentic workflows, retrieval (RAG) pipelines, document intelligence over invoices and utility bills, and ML models for forecasting and anomaly detection. You own work end to end — from experiment to deployed, monitored service.
What you will do
• Build LLM applications: RAG pipelines, vector search, tool-calling agents, conversational assistants
• Evaluate and integrate models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Google and open-source providers
• Train, evaluate and deploy ML models for prediction, classification, anomaly detection and forecasting
• Process unstructured data: PDFs, scanned documents, invoices, utility bills, images
• Build APIs and backend services that expose AI capabilities to our products
• Deploy and operate models in production: monitoring, evaluation, prompt and model versioning, cost and latency control
• Work with Climate Science and Product teams to turn domain requirements into working systems
Must have
• Bachelor's in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, Software Engineering or related field
• 2+ years in AI, ML or Data Science with production code shipped
• Strong Python; experience building production APIs
• Hands-on LLM work: prompt engineering, RAG, agents, tool calling
• Experience with vector databases, embeddings and semantic search
• Solid ML fundamentals: supervised/unsupervised learning, feature engineering, model evaluation
• Familiarity with AWS, Azure or GCP, and Docker
• Git, testing, CI/CD
Strong advantage
• Shipped an AI copilot, document intelligence or enterprise AI product
• Kubernetes, LLMOps/MLOps tooling (experiment tracking, model registries, eval frameworks)
• Frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face, PyTorch, XGBoost
• Background in climate tech, sustainability, fintech or enterprise SaaS
