What We're Building

CodeRound AI matches the top 5% tech talent with the fastest-growing, VC-funded AI startups across Silicon Valley and India.

Top-tier product startups across the US, UK, EU, UAE, and India have hired top engineers through CodeRound.

What You'll Build

We're looking for a hands-on AI Engineer who has built production AI systems, not just AI prototypes. You'll own everything from multi-agent architectures and RAG pipelines to real-time inference, model serving, and production reliability.

This is a founding engineering role where you'll work directly with the founders to design, build, deploy, and scale AI systems used by real customers.

What You'll Do

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade LLM applications and conversational AI systems
  • Build multi-agent workflows using frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar orchestration frameworks
  • Develop production RAG systems using vector databases and hybrid retrieval architectures
  • Optimize inference latency, GPU utilization, memory consumption, and LLM serving costs
  • Build reliable model serving infrastructure with monitoring, observability, evaluations, retries, and guardrails
  • Work on real-time AI applications involving streaming, speech (STT/TTS), or voice agents
  • Design scalable backend services and APIs supporting AI workloads
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to rapidly ship AI features into production

What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of software engineering or AI engineering experience
  • Strong hands-on experience building production LLM applications
  • Experience deploying RAG systems into production
  • Experience with vector databases such as Pinecone, pgvector, Weaviate, Chroma, FAISS, or similar
  • Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or similar AI orchestration frameworks
  • Strong understanding of transformers, embeddings, prompt engineering, and evaluation methodologies
  • Experience building model serving infrastructure and production ML systems
  • Strong backend engineering skills (Python preferred)
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), Docker, and scalable backend architecture

Bonus Points

  • Experience building multi-agent systems
  • Experience with voice AI (STT/TTS), streaming, or real-time conversational systems
  • Experience with inference optimization, batching, quantization, or GPU optimization
  • Experience implementing AI guardrails, structured outputs, and evaluation pipelines
  • Experience working in early-stage startups or owning products end-to-end

Why Join?

  • Build core AI systems from day one with significant technical ownership
  • Work directly with founders on high-impact AI products
  • Solve challenging engineering problems across LLM infrastructure, agentic systems, and production AI
  • Ship products used by real customers in healthcare
  • Join a fast-moving, VC-backed startup with significant growth potential
