Senior AI Engineer

Nectir is a secure AI infrastructure purpose-built for schools, providing personalized learning support. The Senior AI Engineer will lead the development of AI systems that enhance learning experiences, ensuring high-quality interactions and effective integration of AI capabilities into the platform.

Responsibilities:

• Own the direction of the AI that powers Nectir: how it thinks, what context it sees, what it remembers, and how it uses tools
• Design and iterate on prompts, context, retrieval, and memory across the product
• Build evaluations (golden answers, traces, production monitoring) rigorous enough to catch regressions before users do
• Work across frontier models from the major providers to pick the right model for the right job, and tune cost, latency, and quality across that mix
• Build the multi-agent patterns and tooling that let us scale AI capability as the surface area grows
• Turn new model releases and new techniques into shipped improvements quickly
• Ship AI-facing features end to end when they need to land in the product
• Partner with the full-stack team to cleanly integrate AI capabilities into the platform
• Own the end-to-end quality of the AI experience our users actually see
• Track what ships across the AI ecosystem and translate it into real improvements in our product
• Share what you learn and raise the bar for what the rest of the team thinks is possible
