About Osano:

Osano is an innovative B-Corporation built around a simple belief: privacy is a fundamental right. Since day one, we’ve been focused on giving modern enterprises the ability to innovate quickly, stay competitive, and earn customer trust by respecting data privacy and complying with consent guidelines. Our products help organizations operate confidently in a rapidly evolving regulatory and technological landscape.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join our Engineering team. This person will play a pivotal role in architecting and delivering privacy-first AI systems that power the next generation of Osano’s product capabilities.

This role goes beyond wrapping APIs or building chat interfaces. You will design and deploy autonomous AI agents, strict-source-following RAG systems, and evaluation frameworks that ensure reliability, compliance, and production-grade performance.

This position is ideal for someone who is highly technical, thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership of 0→1 initiatives, and believes responsible AI development is non-negotiable.

Responsibilities:

AI System Architecture

  • Architect and deploy autonomous AI agents and multi-agent workflows
  • Design strict-source-following Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems that minimize hallucination and enforce citation integrity
  • Implement guardrails, structured outputs, and validation layers

Production Engineering

  • Build scalable backend services using FastAPI
  • Orchestrate agentic workflows using LangGraph
  • Deploy and manage AI workloads within AWS or Azure

Optimize model performance, reliability, and cost

Evaluation & Continuous Improvement

  • Develop rigorous evaluation pipelines measuring:
    • Accuracy
    • Citation adherence
    • Latency
    • Reliability
  • Establish metric-driven iteration cycles
  • Continuously refine deployed systems based on measurable outcomes

Privacy-First Development

  • Embed privacy-by-design principles across the AI stack
  • Ensure compliance, data sovereignty, and secure handling practices
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to align AI capabilities with regulatory standards

About You:

  • You’re curious, self-directed, and motivated to learn quickly.
  • You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and creating clarity for others.
  • You’re excited about privacy, responsible AI, and building trustworthy technology.
  • You are willing to relentlessly pursue the best, most responsible ways to leverage AI—without overselling its capabilities or ignoring its limitations.

Must-Haves:

  • 5+ years of professional experience
  • Experience deploying and managing AI workloads in AWS or Azure
  • Deep technical understanding of LLM usage and orchestration beyond prompt engineering
  • Strong expertise in Python AI ecosystem, specifically:
    • FastAPI
    • LangGraph
  • Proven experience building:
    • Complex RAG systems
    • Autonomous AI agents
  • Experience building evaluation frameworks and iterating based on performance metrics

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience with Knowledge Graphs to enhance RAG precision
  • Familiarity with Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs)
  • Experience with data anonymization techniques
  • Background in compliance-heavy or regulated environments

Why Us:

  • We're a welcoming team that's dependable, curious, moves fast, and full of talented people
  • We're a B-corporation with a mission that matters, in a high-growth space with significant potential
  • You'll have access to our training program, well-defined career paths, and a leadership team that values professional development

Benefits:

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.
