  • Salary: $180K - $200K

Flatfile is revolutionizing enterprise data handling through AI automation. We're building an AI-native data mapping, cleaning, and transformation platform that tackles the most stubborn data problems for the world's largest organizations.

An "AI Engineer" at Flatfile works at the intersection of conventional software engineering and machine learning, focusing on applying AI to solve real-world problems rather than fundamental ML research. As James Brady from Elicit notes: "If you're a software engineer who relishes the more difficult parts of backend code—like concurrency, fault-tolerance, and distributed systems—you could be a great AI engineer."

This role reports to: Jon Bell, VP of Product.

Responsibilities

  • Own critical parts of our AI-powered data platform.
  • Design and implement robust backend services that integrate with various AI models for data understanding and transformation.
  • Build fault-tolerant systems that can handle the high latency and variance inherent in working with large language models.
  • Create streaming architectures for real-time AI processing of customer data.
  • Develop evaluation frameworks to measure and improve our AI features' accuracy and reliability.
  • Work closely with our product team to prototype and ship new AI capabilities.
  • Help learn and establish best practices for AI development at Flatfile.
  • Write traditional software features.
  • Fix bugs.

Requirements

Essential:

  • Experience building production backend systems.
  • Strong computer science fundamentals, especially in distributed systems.
  • Experience handling asynchronous workflows and building resilient services.
  • Genuine enthusiasm for AI technology and its practical applications.
  • Track record of shipping customer-facing features.

Great to have:

  • Experience working with LLMs in production environments.
  • Background in data processing or ETL systems.
  • Familiarity with AI model deployment and optimization.
  • Experience with streaming architectures.
  • Open source contributions to AI/ML tools.
