Senior Software Engineer, AI Systems
Zello, Austin, Texas
What you will do
- Build LLM-backed systems end to end and put them in front of people who are not engineers
- Design eval suites and monitoring before shipping, not after something breaks
- Review agent pull requests and explain why a design will or will not hold up
- Operate what you ship: triage drift, chase down silent failures, fix root causes
- Set engineering conventions the team actually adopts - testing, structure, error handling
- Pair with and coach teammates who are strong analysts and newer to software craft
- Tell us when AI is the wrong tool for a problem, before we build it
What you need
- You learned to program properly, and you can reason about code you did not write
- You build things nobody asked you to build
- You treat tests and evals as part of shipping, not as cleanup afterwards
- You give code review feedback people act on, and you coach rather than direct
