AI Engineer

Bridgeway is seeking an AI Engineer to help build and operate large language model and intelligent automation capabilities across our products and internal tooling.

The AI Engineer will implement production systems against the patterns and reference implementations set by our architecture team, contribute to design discussions, and partner with senior engineers to ship reliable AI-enabled features. This is a hands-on engineering role focused primarily on building.

We are seeking a technically curious individual who brings solid Python experience and a pragmatic approach to AI-enabled capabilities.

A successful AI Engineer is a strong builder with a growing background in production software development and the kind of engineering judgment that turns architectural patterns into reliable working systems. This is a remote position with preference given to East Coast candidates.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the technical direction for AI-enabled systems at Bridgeway, in partnership with senior engineers and the architecture team. Participate in design reviews for AI-adjacent features and incorporate feedback from senior engineers and architects.

Build production-quality Python services, pipelines, and integrations that apply LLMs and retrieval to concrete internal and product problems. Integrate LLM APIs into existing systems, following established guidance on model selection, cost profile, and failure-handling for each use case.

Ensure AI capabilities correctly honor schema-per-tenant and PHI-boundary patterns within our multi-tenant model, partnering with the data team that owns those patterns.

Partner with the data and analytics team to integrate retrieval- and LLM-backed features into the lakehouse and analytics layer — embedding and chunking choices, retrieval evaluation, semantic search, summarization, anomaly narration, and contextual guidance for fund office users — with the data team owning pipeline build and operation.
