Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI with 6+ years of experience to design, build, and scale the AI systems powering Take2's autonomous healthcare recruiting platform. You should be a hands-on engineer applying Agentic AI solutions with multi-agent/RAG in production. You'll own applied-AI work end-to-end — from prototyping and model selection through production reliability — as we scale from thousands to millions of candidate conversations. This is a high-ownership role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment.

What will you be doing?

- Design and build applied AI-powered features and agentic workflows — tweak systems, use RAG, build intra-agent networks & communication — and ship them to production

- Select, integrate, evaluate, and tune models for the right balance of quality, latency, cost, and reliability across voice AI pipelines (STT/TTS/VAD)

- Build evaluation, guardrail, and observability systems to ensure AI behavior is measurable and safe at scale

- Own the backend services and data/inference pipelines that serve applied-AI features in production

- Collaborate closely with product and founding engineering to rapidly prototype and deliver with significant ownership over technical direction
