Senior AI Software Engineer at Augury

Our mission is to transform how people and machines work together to push the boundaries of human productivity. A leader in Industrial AI, Augury helps the world’s manufacturers leverage real-time production insights to drive new levels of efficiency. Combining predictive and prescriptive AI technology with industry expertise, production teams can proactively address alerts, minimize downtime, reduce asset costs, and maximize yield and capacity. Our customers achieve payback in six months or less, enabling global scale. We're looking for team members excited to partner with the world's manufacturers and build the future of production together. About the Role We are looking for a Senior AI Software Engineer to join the GenAI Infrastructure team and build production-grade GenAI capabilities and the infrastructure behind them. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on AI agents, RAG pipelines, tool-calling workflows, backend services, data-access layers, evaluation, observability, and reusable GenAI infrastructure used across product teams. The role is not focused on model research or prompt design alone. We are looking for a strong software engineer who can design, build, ship, and operate reliable AI-powered systems in production. What You’ll Do • Build reusable infrastructure, SDKs, and internal frameworks for AI-powered product capabilities. • Design and implement AI agents, RAG flows, tool-calling workflows, and LLM orchestration pipelines. • Build production-grade GenAI services, APIs, and backend infrastructure. • Integrate LLM workflows with internal microservices, data platforms, vector search, and event-driven systems. • Design secure data-access patterns that enforce authorization, tenant separation, and user-level scope. • Implement evaluation, tracing, monitoring, and quality-control mechanisms for GenAI systems. • Improve latency, reliability, fallback behavior, cost efficiency, and production readiness. • Work on customer-facing AI experiences, including conversational and proactive agentic product flows. • Collaborate with backend engineers, product managers, data engineers, AI/ML engineers, and domain experts. Basic Qualifications • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience. • Strong Python development skills. • Strong backend engineering background, including APIs, services, integrations, or microservices. • Proven experience designing, shipping, or operating LLM-powered applications or GenAI systems. • Experience with RAG, AI agents, tool/function calling, prompt orchestration, evaluation, and observability. • Experience with microservices, distributed systems, and production backend architecture. • Strong understanding of system design, reliability, security, scalability, latency, and maintainability. • Ability to work with complex data models and expose them safely through AI systems. • Ability to operate in ambiguous technical areas and turn prototypes into production-ready systems. • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical decisions clearly. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, or LangSmith. • Experience with Go, MongoDB, Databricks, Kubernetes, Docker, REST APIs, vector search, or event-driven systems. • Experience with Azure OpenAI, Gemini, or similar LLM platforms. • Experience building or using knowledge graphs, GraphRAG, or graph databases such as Neo4j. • Experience building multi-agent systems or orchestrating multiple specialized agents/tools in production. • Experience building internal platforms, SDKs, developer tools, or shared engineering infrastructure. • Experience with authorization, data segregation, multi-tenant systems, or user-level data scoping. • Experience in industrial, IoT, predictive maintenance, manufacturing, or operational-data domains. What Success Looks Like • You build reusable infrastructure that accelerates GenAI development across teams. • You ship reliable GenAI capabilities that run in production. • You improve how AI agents retrieve data, call tools, enforce permissions, and generate grounded responses. • You contribute to practical standards around GenAI architecture, evaluation, monitoring, security, and deployment. Perks • Stock options • Paid parental leave • Flex PTO Augury is a people-first organization.
