Senior AI Engineer in New York, New York at Obin AI

We're looking for AI Engineers who can help us build and scale intelligent agents from the ground up. You’ll join our team as one of our earliest hires. You'll work directly with the founders (ex-Google) and own key technical decisions from day one.

● Designing and Deploying LLM-Powered Agents

Build agentic systems using LLMs and RAG to automate complex credit workflows. This includes prompt design, tool use, orchestration logic, and system evaluation.

● Working Directly with Customers

Partner with technical and non-technical stakeholders at major credit firms to understand workflow pain points and co-develop AI solutions that directly tie to ROI.

● Owning Production Infrastructure

Architect and maintain backend systems and APIs that connect to data sources and customer platforms. Ensure high availability, performance, and observability.

● Evaluating and Optimizing Systems

Balance accuracy, latency, reliability, cost, and explainability in our agentic systems. Lead rigorous experimentation and improvement cycles.

● Contributing to Core Platform Design

Define technical architecture, build reusable infrastructure for agent deployment, and shape the foundation of Obin’s AI engineering best practices.

● Setting Culture and Standards

Help define Obin’s engineering culture, hiring bar, and long-term technical roadmap
