Role
Who you are
- Proven experience applying machine learning and/or LLMs to solve real-world product challenges in production
- 5+ years of professional experience with Machine Learning, ideally in a SaaS or product-led B2B environment
- 1+ years hands-on with LLMs and GenAI techniques — prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agents, etc
- Experience deploying on cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure, and working with CI/CD and containerization workflows
- Comfort with ambiguity and fast-paced environments — you move fast but think critically
- Bonus: exposure to data engineering or analytics pipelines
- Location: Latam/US
- Mindset: Mediocrity is your enemy. You don’t stop until you get to "great." You’re relentless in pursuit of excellence
- Communication: You speak your mind, challenge assumptions, and present ideas clearly — no fear of conflict. For latam/remote roles, add the following: Proficiency in English is essential for effective communication across teams and with international stakeholders
What the job involves
- We're embedding AI across our entire product suite — and we're looking for a pragmatic, pioneering engineer to lead the way
- As Firstbase’s first AI hire, you’ll be at the forefront of how we apply AI to core business and product workflows
- You’ll own the end-to-end stack, from early prototyping to production deployment, working closely with product and engineering
- Expect high autonomy, a wide surface area to impact, and the opportunity to set the standard for AI inside the company
- Our product is built using PHP, Golang, Node.js, Vue, MySQL, PostgreSQL, AWS
- We also use Redis, Vue Router, Vuex, Docker Compose, Docker, GitLab CI, and Graylog, and some third-party API's like Stripe
- We use Slack, Clubhouse, Notion, Whimsical, Figma, and G Suite to collaborate and build together
- Spot the highest-impact ways AI can improve our product — from smarter automation to better insights and decision-making
- Rapidly prototype ideas using tools like OpenAI, Hugging Face, LangChain, Pinecone, and whatever else helps us move fast
- Adapt and integrate off-the-shelf models (LLMs, embeddings, classifiers, etc.) into real product workflows — not just to show what’s possible, but to ship things that matter
- Experiment, measure, and iterate: create feedback loops and evaluation methods to test what’s working and what’s not
- Train and fine-tune models using Firstbase’s own data when off-the-shelf isn’t good enough
- Collaborate closely with engineering and product to turn prototypes into reliable, user-facing features
- Build out our internal AI stack and shape best practices — technically and ethically — as we scale
- Keep a pulse on the AI space and bring in new ideas, tools, and techniques that can give us an edge
