About this role

Join an early-stage B2B SaaS startup as a founding AI engineer to build the evaluation systems, LLM infrastructure, and agent-driven features for an AI-powered pricing platform. You'll own the critical path connecting model outputs to revenue impact, working in a lean team where shipping and measurable business outcomes define success.

What you'll do

  • Design and build evaluation harnesses using real pricing outcomes as ground truth for continuous model improvement
  • Automate expert review workflows and develop AI personas simulating B2B buying committees from usage data and transcripts
  • Implement LLM routing across providers with explicit optimization for cost, latency, and quality trade-offs
  • Extend MCP servers for LLM agents and ensure product features are agent-driven with full auditability
  • Maintain data residency compliance and infrastructure boundaries (e.g., EU-only model routing)
  • Identify and resolve latency, data drift, and cold-start issues in the pricing decision loop

What they're looking for

  • LLM systems and production deployment (8+ years engineering, recent hands-on experience)
  • Evaluation frameworks and benchmarking for AI systems
  • LLM infrastructure and multi-model routing
  • Typed data models and structured ontologies (Pydantic)
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) and LLM agent integration
  • Data residency and compliance (GDPR, SOC2)
  • Technical communication to non-technical stakeholders
  • Startup agility and high-ownership mindset

Benefits

  • Founding team equity opportunity
  • High-impact role with direct influence on product and technical direction
  • Remote-flexible work arrangement (based in Amsterdam)
  • Small, product-focused team environment
  • Work on revenue-critical AI infrastructure
