Role
Who you are
- Senior-level experience building production AI/ML systems
- Proven ability to architect modular, scalable AI solutions
- Strong Python proficiency; solid JavaScript/TypeScript experience
- Production experience with LLM applications (OpenAI, Anthropic APIs)
- Experience building inside of agent frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith
- Experience with agent orchestration and automation tools (MCPs)
- Experience with Databricks (Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow)
- Understanding of traditional ML and how it complements generative AI
- Experience scaling platforms or practices across teams
What the job involves
- We're hiring a Senior / Staff AI Engineer to transform how we build and deliver software
- This role is primarily focused on building agentic workflows and AI-first development practices that fundamentally change delivery speed, quality, and team effectiveness
- You'll work alongside the teams that will use these capabilities to ship production AI solutions for consumer-facing digital and call-center experiences
- Over the past year, we've proven that agentic workflows can materially change how solutions are delivered
- We're now scaling that approach and need a deeply technical, hands-on engineer who thinks like a founder: someone who reimagines processes, builds the systems that enable change, and drives adoption across teams
- Transform Delivery with Agentic Workflows (Primary Focus):
- Design and implement agentic workflows that materially reduce delivery time and cognitive load
- Build reusable accelerators, templates, and shared services for engineers, product managers, designers, and analysts
- Apply orchestration tools (LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, MCPs, n8n) with judgment—knowing where agents add leverage and where simpler solutions win
- Define and evangelize AI-first development practices across teams
- Leverage AI-enabled development environments (Cursor, Windsurf) and establish best practices for human + AI collaboration
- Drive measurable step-changes in team velocity and consistency
- Build Production AI Solutions (Secondary Focus):
- Architect and Build LLM- and ML-powered solutions supporting digital journeys, call-center workflows, decisioning, and personalization
- Develop end-to-end systems using Python, JavaScript/TypeScript (optionally Go)
- Partner with Data Science to integrate generative AI with traditional ML (classification, regression)
- Build AI-enabled interfaces using modern web stacks (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
- Ensure scalability, reliability, security, and observability
- Engineering & Platform Leadership:
- Design modular, reusable AI systems that scale across clients and use cases
- Build and operate production LLM systems, including RAG and agent-based architectures
- Use Databricks for AI development (Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow)
- Apply strong engineering discipline: Git workflows, code reviews, TDD, CI/CD
- Mentor engineers and shape shared standards, patterns, and documentation
Our take
Red Ventures was founded in 2000, shortly before the dot-com bubble burst. It survived the crash, however, and has grown into one of America's biggest digital media companies. Its brands include Lonely Planet, Healthline and TV Guide.
The company was last valued at around $11 billion, which is evidence that its focus on momentum and adaptability has proven successful. Red Ventures is one of the major companies leading the shift towards intent-based media. It has acquired a range of specialist sites and publishing houses that serve the travel, tech and health sectors.
Red Ventures has managed to successfully out-compete rivals by moving away from the more traditional direct sales approach. Instead, it has focused on guiding customers towards purchases on other sites, and then taking a commission. The company's agility and laser-sharp focus on advice and specialty subjects will prove invaluable in the years to come.
