Founding AI Engineer - Paradox Machines

Infinity Constellation is a data and AI company seeking a Founding AI Engineer to design and ship AI-powered applications and data infrastructure. The role involves working closely with the CEO and a senior team to build scalable systems and ensure reliability in production environments.

Responsibilities:

• You'll design and maintain the infrastructure that powers client deliverables - ingestion pipelines, data models, transformation layers, and the orchestration that keeps it all running
• You'll build and ship AI applications - not prototype them
• You'll architect agent systems with clear evaluation criteria, human-in-the-loop checkpoints where they matter, and monitoring that tells you when something goes wrong
• You'll own deployment end-to-end - containerized services, Kubernetes orchestration, cloud infrastructure, and the CI/CD pipelines that keep everything moving
• As a founding engineer, you'll help identify what we build repeatedly across engagements and turn it into durable internal infrastructure - shared data models, evaluation frameworks, deployment patterns

Requirements:

• 5-8 years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time and familiarity with building data systems or AI-driven applications in production
• Hands-on experience with modern data engineering practices: pipeline orchestration, data modeling, transformation frameworks, cloud infrastructure
• Experience deploying and operating production systems - Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, cloud platforms (AWS or GCP)
• Experience building with LLMs in production - prompt engineering, RAG, agent frameworks, evaluation pipelines
• Comfort designing agentic workflows where the AI does meaningful work but accountability stays with the system
• A bias for doing: you'll write the query, sketch the schema, or spin up the prototype if that's what moves things forward
• Genuine curiosity about what AI can do next - and the technical discipline to build it responsibly
