AI Software Engineer

Seattle, WA

Compensation: $200K - $325K+

Travel Requirement: International travel required to India 8+ times per year

Evergreen Posting: This is an evergreen posting for a role type we hire for frequently. Timing, level, and exact team placement may vary based on business needs; we keep this posting open to meet strong candidates as needs arise.

AI Foundry is an AI building and consulting business working with some of the largest companies in the world. AI Foundry is partnered with a major global company operating across finance, consumer, and retail verticals, leading their AI efforts from the ground up.

The team is seeking builders who want to be part of something massive: designing and building multi-agent AI systems that will reshape how hundreds of millions of people interact with financial services, retail, insurance, and consumer products.

AI Foundry is looking for software engineers who build fast, think architecturally, and use AI as a real part of their development workflow. You can write production-quality code, compose AI-native systems, demonstrate technical patterns through working software, and help global teams raise the bar. This is not a role where you wait for perfect specs; you will be building, testing, shipping, and iterating as the system takes shape.

If you want to build AI-native software at unprecedented scale and prove what is possible through working systems, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Build and ship AI-native applications, internal tools, platforms, and workflows across the full stack.
  • Design and implement multi-agent systems, LLM-powered product experiences, and AI-enabled automation that can scale beyond a demo.
  • Write clean, production-quality code, primarily in Python with frontend work in React, TypeScript, or comparable modern frameworks.
  • Own features end to end from concept through deployment, including APIs, data flows, interfaces, observability, and iteration.
  • Demonstrate architectural patterns through code when needed, helping teams understand what good looks like in practice.
  • Integrate model capabilities, retrieval systems, agent orchestration, guardrails, evaluation loops, and human-in-the-loop workflows into real products.
  • Move quickly: prototype, validate, and deliver working software in days or weeks, while maintaining sound engineering judgment.
  • Lead or support calls with overseas engineering teams to review code, unblock progress, present technical approaches, and raise the quality bar.
  • Stay on the bleeding edge of AI development and continuously level up your toolkit as the field changes.
  • Travel to India 8+ times per year to work directly with client and engineering teams.

Who You Are

  • You have a track record of building and shipping real software products, not just prototypes or research demos.
  • You are strong in multiple coding languages and comfortable using it to build production systems, services, automations, and AI-enabled workflows.
  • You can work across the stack, including frontend, backend, APIs, databases, deployment, and operational tooling.
  • You understand AI-native application patterns, including LLM integration, agentic architectures, retrieval, evaluation, and guardrails.
  • You know how to code quickly without letting speed become an excuse for brittle systems or sloppy design.
  • You can think architecturally and explain why a technical approach will or will not scale.
  • You use AI tools extensively in your own engineering workflow and keep improving how you build with them.
  • You are comfortable with ambiguity and can make progress when requirements are incomplete or changing.
  • You are willing to prototype to prove a point, then refine the work into something maintainable.
  • You communicate clearly with product, engineering, and executive stakeholders across time zones.
  • You are collaborative and collegial, able to push for correctness without becoming a know-it-all.
  • You are hungry to build something from the ground up and energized by hard, undefined technical problems.

How We Work

We are looking for people who use AI to raise the speed, quality, and ambition of the work while staying grounded in customers, teammates, and measurable outcomes.

  • We are hands-on with AI and technical tools, and we make ideas tangible through prototypes, clear artifacts, and working systems.
  • We move quickly, share work early, and keep refining until the product experience feels useful, polished, and memorable.
  • We focus on the hardest problems and the outcomes that matter, with the judgment to change course when the evidence points somewhere better.
  • We communicate clearly enough that teammates, leaders, and AI-assisted workflows can act on our thinking across time zones.
  • We collaborate with openness and respect, build on other people's ideas, and treat shared ownership as part of doing excellent work.
  • We speak up directly and constructively when something looks wrong, then commit fully once a decision is made.

Benefits & More

  • Medical and Dental benefits
  • 401K
  • Opportunity to shape AI strategy for 500M+ users

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
