Founding AI Agent Engineer

As a Founding AI Agent Engineer at Eloquent AI, you will be at the forefront of building, deploying, and optimizing enterprise-grade AI agents that handle high-stakes conversations. You’ll work directly with customers, engineers, and AI researchers to design intelligent agents that understand, take action, and deliver real business impact.

This role requires a mix of software development, AI integration, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to customize, optimize, and scale AI models for real-world enterprise applications. If you're passionate about LLMs, conversational AI, and solving last-mile AI adoption challenges, this role is for you.

You will:

• Build, deploy, and optimize AI agents that engage in enterprise-grade conversations.
• Work with customers to understand business needs, assess AI capabilities, and implement tailored solutions.
• Train and fine-tune LLMs for improved accuracy and efficiency.
• Integrate AI agents with enterprise systems via APIs, databases, and automation tools.
• Experiment rapidly to improve AI-driven interactions, response quality, and automation capabilities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (engineering, research, and product) to shape Eloquent AI’s roadmap.
• Monitor and improve agents’ performance via user simulations and evaluations.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in software development, AI engineering, or NLP in a production environment.
• Strong proficiency in Python, with experience in frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow.
• Experience working with LLMs and NLP models, including fine-tuning and inference optimization.
• Familiarity with APIs, cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and enterprise integrations.
• Ability to prototype, experiment, and iterate quickly to improve AI agents.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work closely with customers to refine AI solutions.

Bonus Points If…

• You have experience with prompt engineering, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), reinforcement learning for LLMs.
• You have experience with frontend or backend development (React, Node.js, NestJS) to enhance AI-driven applications.
• You have a background in information retrieval or recommender systems, document question answering, or agent development.
• You’ve published AI research in top tier AI conferences like: NeurIPS, ACL, SIGIR, ICML and ICLR.
• You’ve contributed to open-source NLP projects.
• You’ve worked in a fast-paced startup environment and thrive in rapid iteration cycles.
