Role description

You will work on the systems that make Respan intelligent: automated evaluations, prompt optimization, model routing, and AI-powered analysis of traces and logs.

We’re looking for someone who understands LLM systems end-to-end and can build reliable, production-grade AI infrastructure used by real teams.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build AI-powered systems (eval frameworks, prompt optimization)
  • Develop LLM-as-judge pipelines for automated quality assessment
  • Build model routing, caching, and fallback systems
  • Experiment with new model capabilities and ship them into production
  • Work closely with users to understand AI workflow pain points

Minimum qualifications

  • Strong software engineering skills (Python, TypeScript)
  • Experience building LLM-powered systems in production
  • Deep understanding of prompt engineering and model behavior
  • Willingness to work in-person in the Bay Area

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience with fine-tuning, RAG, or agent frameworks
  • Background in ML infrastructure or MLOps
  • Familiarity with observability or developer tooling
  • Open-source contributions in AI/ML
