Build and deploy LLM-powered agents, workflows, and production integrations using platform templates, pipelines, and guardrails. Develop and run evaluation suites, integrate business systems and data sources, instrument cost and quality telemetry, and collaborate with business users to iterate within bounded scopes. The role requires strong Python and TypeScript, API development, prompt and context engineering, and production experience with agents, RAG, and tool use.
Ciklum is looking for a Senior AI/Machine Learning Engineer to join our team full-time in the US .
We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.
About the role:
Builds the agents, models, and integrations on the platform's templates — the hands that turn use cases into production systems.
Responsibilities:
- Build and ship LLM-powered agents and workflows on the paved path (templates, pipeline, guardrails)
- Write and run evals for everything built; no system ships without passing its suite
- Integrate with GoodRx systems and data sources; instrument for cost and quality telemetry
- Pair with business users to iterate quickly inside bounded scopes
Requirements:
- 8+ years software engineering; 2.5+ building LLM applications in production (agents, RAG, tool use)
- Strong Python/TypeScript; API craftsmanship; prompt and context engineering that survives contact with users
- Can write LLM evals as part of building — non-negotiable
- Ships fast without skipping guardrails
Desirable:
- Retrieval/IR depth (for assistant-facing work); healthcare data handling; cost-optimization experience
What’s in it for you?
- Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment
- Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise
- Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications
- Endless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies
- Care: Healthcare, Basic Life Insurance, Short and Long-term disability insurance according to the Company’s Benefit Plans
