We're looking for a
Founding AI Engineer

to help build Akaion's core intelligence layer from day one.

You'll design, ship, and scale production-grade AI systems that power our next-generation products.


Join Akaion and shape the future of our AI-first platform.

You'll work at the intersection of product, research, and engineering to turn cutting-edge AI into real-world impact.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build end-to-end AI systems (from data ingestion to production inference)
  • Solid understanding of REST APIs, async systems, and production engineering
  • Develop and deploy LLM-powered agents and multi-agent architectures
  • Implement RAG pipelines (vector databases, embeddings, retrieval optimization)
  • Build scalable GenAI services and APIs for product integration
  • Design prompt engineering, tool calling, function routing, and orchestration layers
  • Optimize model performance, latency, and cost
  • Deploy AI workloads on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (Cloud Run, GKE, Vertex AI, storage, networking)
  • Build monitoring, logging, evaluation and feedback loops for AI systems
  • Collaborate directly with product and founding team on roadmap and architecture decisions

What We're Looking For

  • Strong experience with Python for AI/ML and backend systems
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs, GenAI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI SDKs or similar)
  • Experience building RAG systems and vector search pipelines
  • Knowledge of agent-based architectures and AI orchestration patterns
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred)
  • Familiarity with Docker, containerized AI workloads, and scalable deployments
  • Ability to move fast and own systems end-to-end

Nice to Have (Big Plus)

  • Experience with Vertex AI, HuggingFace, fine-tuning or model serving
  • Knowledge of streaming pipelines, data engineering, or MLOps
  • Experience with evaluation frameworks for LLMs
  • Background in startup or early-stage environments
  • Interest in AI agents, autonomous systems, and AI-native products

Why Akaion?

You'll be a founding technical pillar

Massive ownership and architectural influence

Real product impact (not research-only)

Build AI systems that go to production, not demos
