Description

We are seeking an Senior AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy AI-powered capabilities within our product.

This role focuses on integrating machine learning models and large language models (LLMs) into scalable software systems and delivering reliable AI-driven features to production.

The AI Engineer works at the intersection of software engineering, AI systems, and infrastructure. transforming AI technologies into practical applications.

Responsibilities:

  • Build applications powered by machine learning and large language models (LLMs).
  • Implement capabilities such as intelligent assistants, semantic search, automation, and recommendation systems.
  • Integrate AI functionality into backend services and product workflows.
  • Design and implement retrieval pipelines, embedding pipelines, and inference workflows.
  • Build Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and AI-driven services.
  • Create scalable AI architectures capable of handling production workloads.
  • Package and deploy AI models as production services.
  • Optimize inference performance, scalability, and latency.
  • Monitor AI services to ensure reliability and performance.
  • Develop backend services and APIs that expose AI capabilities.
  • Integrate AI systems with databases, internal services, and external APIs.
  • Contribute to system architecture and microservices design.
  • Implement logging, metrics, and observability for AI systems.
  • Track model performance and system reliability in production environments.
  • Work closely with product managers, engineers, and data scientists.
Requirements
  • 5+ years of programming skills in one or more modern languages (such as Python, Java, Go, or similar).
  • Experience building backend services and APIs.
  • Experience integrating machine learning models or LLMs into applications.

Tufin Boston, Massachusetts, USA Office

The Boston office is Tufin’s U.S. headquarters and one of the best tech cities in the world. The area is best known for shopping and restaurants, and is home to many other offices. We are conveniently located right next to the Downtown Crossing T stop, and a short walk to South Station.

What you need to know about the Boston Tech Scene

Boston is a powerhouse for technology innovation thanks to world-class research universities like MIT and Harvard and a robust pipeline of venture capital investment. Host to the first telephone call and one of the first general-purpose computers ever put into use, Boston is now a hub for biotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence — though it’s also home to several B2B software giants. So it’s no surprise that the city consistently ranks among the greatest startup ecosystems in the world.

Key Facts About Boston Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 269,000; 9.4% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Thermo Fisher Scientific, Toast, Klaviyo, HubSpot, DraftKings
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, biotechnology, robotics, software, aerospace
  • Funding Landscape: $15.7 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
