From Home Ai Chat Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for a Senior AI Agent & LLM Engineer who combines strong software engineering capabilities with a deep focus on AI quality. You will help build and improve the AI systems behind Otter’s conversational knowledge engine and AI Chat, spanning user-facing agent experiences, evaluation systems, and the shared platform required to operate them reliably at scale.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can move from an ambiguous product problem to a working production solution, define how quality should be measured, and drive improvements across services, models, and user experience.

• Build AI-agent experiences for Otter AI Chat that help users reason over conversations, retrieve knowledge, and complete complex tasks.


• Advance Otter’s conversational knowledge engine through better knowledge extraction, annotation, and indexing.


• Develop robust evaluation datasets, automated graders, regression tests, and release gates for AI quality.


• Diagnose failures across models, prompts, retrieval, tools, data pipelines, backend services, and product workflows.


• Build shared agent infrastructure for orchestration, tracing, debugging, retries, sandboxed execution, and observability.


• Improve task completion, correctness, groundedness, reliability, latency, and cost.


• Turn production traces, customer feedback, and usage signals into measurable product and model improvements.


• Collaborate across AI, product, infrastructure, data, security, and application teams to deliver end-to-end capabilities.

• Has 5+ years of AI Agent engineering, machine learning engineering, or related experience.


• Brings strong backend or distributed-systems engineering skills.


• Has hands-on experience building and shipping AI-agent or LLM-powered products.


• Has a strong focus on AI quality and experience evaluating nondeterministic systems.


• Can use data, traces, logs, and qualitative examples to identify and resolve complex failures.


• Works effectively across services, technical domains, and organizational boundaries.


• Combines strong product judgment with rigorous engineering and evaluation practices.


• Operates with high agency, strong ownership, and a bias toward action.


• Can take ambiguous problems from initial exploration through production launch and continuous improvement.


• Demonstrated ability to use coding agents effectively while rigorously reviewing and controlling the quality of their output is a plus.
