With over 6 years of software engineering experience and a strong track record of building production-grade AI systems, I am confident in my ability to drive the quality and evolution of your AI systems. My expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, and modern stacks like Next.js aligns perfectly with your tech environment. I have extensive hands-on experience with LLM APIs, agentic AI, and multi-agent orchestration, which are central to this role. I thrive in high-ownership positions and have successfully delivered end-to-end AI features, implemented output-type-based systems, and optimized production performance. I am particularly drawn to Ruby Labs' innovative consumer products and squad-based structure. I look forward to contributing as a senior technical voice and collaborating with cross-functional teams to build reliable, scalable AI solutions. Thank you for considering my application. Sincerely, [Your Name] Copy ### Sample Interview Questions Describe a time you had to debug a complex LLM chain. What tools did you use and how did you identify the root cause?I used Langfuse traces to pinpoint latency and output issues. By inspecting the traces, I found a bottleneck in context window usage. I optimized prompt compression and adjusted model selection, reducing cost and latency by 30%.How do you ensure consistent output structure across different LLMs for the same request?I define strict output schemas using Pydantic or Zod, and implement validation layers. I also use structured prompting with examples and enforce format constraints via function calling or output parsers.Explain your approach to building a multi-step agentic workflow with tool integration.I design clear tool contracts using MCP or function calling. The workflow is orchestrated with LangChain, handling state management and fallback logic. I test each step independently and add monitoring for execution traces.How do you manage prompt versions and evaluate their performance in production?I use Langfuse for prompt management and A/B testing. I track metrics like accuracy, latency, and user feedback. Changes are rolled out gradually with feature flags, and I revert if metrics degrade.Describe a situation where you had to optimize an AI system for cost and latency. What trade-offs did you make?We were using GPT-4 for all requests. After analysis, I implemented a model router that sends simple queries to a cheaper model (e.g., Claude Haiku) and complex ones to GPT-4. This reduced costs by 40% while maintaining quality. I also optimized caching strategies. ## About us Ruby Labs is a leading tech company that creates and operates innovative consumer products. We offer a diverse range of opportunities across the health, education, and entertainment industries. Our innovative teams are driving the future of consumer-led products, and we’re always looking for passionate individuals to join us.

This is a high-ownership role. You will be responsible for end-to-end delivery of major AI features, production stability of AI systems, and data-driven experimentation using tools like Langfuse, Mixpanel and OpenRouter. You’ll work in a modern stack built on Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and Redis, collaborating closely with product, growth, data, and billing teams. Increasingly, this includes building agentic, tool-using AI systems — defining clean tool contracts (including MCP-based tools) and orchestrating how AI interacts with internal services and business systems. Our engineering organization uses a squad-based structure. You will operate within an AI engineering squad, contributing as a senior technical voice and driving engineering quality within your area of the product. ## Key Responsibilities * Take complete ownership and deliver major AI engineering features within agreed timelines. * Own AI output quality, structure, and predictability across all user-facing AI interactions. * Design, implement, and maintain output-type-based AI systems, including segmentation, routing, and enforcement. * Ensure consistent output structure and formatting across different LLMs for the same request type. * Integrate and orchestrate multiple LLM providers via OpenRouter, managing model selection, fallback strategies, and cost optimisations. * Design and orchestrate tool-using and agentic AI workflows, defining clean tool contracts (including MCP-based tools), function-calling interfaces, and reliable AI-to-system integrations. * Build and maintain complex, multi-step LLM workflows, including with orchestration frameworks such as LangChain or LlamaIndex, for advanced reasoning, context reuse, and retrieval. * Design and manage production prompt systems with dynamic prompting, context injection, and conditional logic. * Own the deployment and release of LLM experiments, prompt management, and Langfuse-based evaluation pipelines. * Run A/B tests across models, analyse results, and present data-driven impact assessments of AI features and experiments. * Monitor AI system metrics, quality signals, latency, and release health using Langfuse and other observability tools. * Deep-debug complex LLM chains using Langfuse traces, identifying bottlenecks and optimising for cost, latency, and context-window usage, and build output-scoring systems to root-cause hallucinations and logic errors. * Write clean, scalable, and maintainable TypeScript code across the Next.js and Node.js stack. * Build reliable backend logic for AI systems, with strong error handling, request validation, fallback flows, and predictable behaviour in production, including reliable tool execution and AI-to-service integrations. * Ensure high code quality through testing, code reviews, and clear engineering standards. * Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve production performance, reliability, and system health. * Drive maintainability and technical quality through solid architecture, refactoring, and disciplined release practices. ## Qualifications * 6+ years of backend/full-stack software engineering experience, including production-grade TypeScript/Node.js. Experience with Next.js and/or Python is a plus. * 2+ years of experience building AI/LLM systems in production. Less experience may be considered for exceptional candidates. * Deep hands-on experience working with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) in production environments. * Experience with Agentic AI, multi-agent orchestration, tool-based workflows (function calling/tool execution), and/or RAG pipelines, including indexing, retrieval, and re-ranking. * Experience with LLM observability tools such as Langfuse, LangSmith, or similar platforms. * Experience with AI gateways and model routing solutions, such as OpenRouter or equivalent technologies. * Solid understanding of Redis and relational databases, such as PostgreSQL. * Exceptional ownership mindset and personal responsibility for engineering quality and delivery. ## Nice to have * Experience with AI-centered development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or similar platforms. * Familiarity with evaluation frameworks, including LLM-as-a-judge, RAGAS, or similar approaches. * Experience working in high-pressure startup environments with rapid product iteration cycles. * Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol), including building MCP servers/clients or designing tool contracts for AI agents. * Experience with edge and serverless runtimes, such as Cloudflare Workers, and supporting services including KV, Durable Objects, Queues, R2, and D1. * Experience with payments, billing and checkout flows, or orchestration platforms. * Practical experience fine-tuning models for domain-specific tasks or achieving strict JSON/schema compliance. * Working proficiency in Python for data science, evaluation scripts, or AI tooling. ## Location Ruby Labs operates within the CET (Central European Time) zone.
