Role
Who you are

- We need engineers who know how to design and write stable, maintainable, and secure systems that are able to evolve
- We use Python but are open to strong experience in other languages
- Experience with AI Systems: You should know how to build a RAG system, done prompt engineering, and know the difference between precision and recall
- While you'll partner with our Research Team to design these systems, you must be able to do the work to drive a POC to a production grade AI tool
- Strong Communication and Organizational Ability: As the project technical lead, you will own relationships with customer technical teams, develop a plan with Distyl’s Project Leads, and work with the rest of the engineering team to deliver
- Understanding of Enterprise Cloud Architectures: Our systems are deployed into our customer's environments, often into complex hybrid cloud environments
- Our business is won on our Lead AI Engineer’s abillity to be trusted by customer enterprise architecture teams
- Biases Towards Showing vs Telling: Our customers want to see the power of AI today vs discuss the most elegant idea that will take 5 years to realize
What the job involves
- What We Are Looking For: At Distyl we're deploying production LLM systems for our F500 clients largest workflows

- They have a vision for the future and aren’t afraid to pitch bold ideas to F500 Enterprise Architects
- From there, they lead a team of engineers to fundamentally transform how their customer operates
- Always looking to grow, they’re driven by a passion for mastering their craft and excited to take on leadership roles that shape the future of AI
- Develop Production Grade AI Systems: For many of our customers we are their only successful GenAI project (and not for the lack of trying)
- This is because our AI Engineers are experts at understanding how to use software to tame the complexity of AI
- They understand power and limits of both AI and Software and build systems which bring the best of both
- Own End to End Delivery of Custom AI Solutions: Lead AI Engineers are responsible for architecting the solution, partnering with customer engineers to deploy into the customer’s environment, and then ensure the system operates as intended
- Earn Our Customer's Trust: AI's power has yet to be fully realized, but there are already a lot of broken promises
- All Distillers are customer facing and our engineers are responsible for making sure our promises are kept
- You will partner with our AI strategists and researchers to devise a solution, present it customer enterprise architects, and then educate them on how our system works
