Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Trump Media & Technology Group is a fast-growing social media company dedicated to free speech. They are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to lead the AI engineering effort, building AI-based features into a platform serving millions of users.
Responsibilities
- You'll work directly with the platform architect and other developers to bring deep, hands-on LLM-stack expertise: you've built these systems before, you know where they break, and you know what 'good' looks like in production
- The work is greenfield. You won't be maintaining someone else's pipeline — you'll be standing up the core AI infrastructure for a platform with millions of active users, and shaping the engineering practices around it as the team grows
Skills
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience in a statically typed language (Go, Java, Kotlin, C#)
- You've shipped production LLM-backed features — retrieval-augmented generation, streaming responses, tool use — and lived with them after launch
- Hands-on experience with the LLM serving stack: routing across multiple model providers, failover, token streaming, and cost/usage metering
- Experience building retrieval systems: vector search, embedding pipelines, context assembly, and citation-backed answers
- You think in failure modes: hallucination, retrieval misses, provider outages, cost blowouts — and you build the instrumentation to catch them
- Pragmatic about evaluation — you know how to measure whether AI answers are actually good (relevance, safety, source quality) with simple, repeatable tests, not just academic benchmarks
- Strong API design instincts; comfortable owning a service end to end, from schema to deploy to on-call
- US-based and authorized to work in the United States
- Go (strongly preferred)
- Python
- Experience with LLM gateways or serving infrastructure (LiteLLM, vLLM, TGI, or similar)
- Vector databases (Qdrant, pgvector) and embedding pipelines
- Fine-tuning open-weight models (LoRA or full fine-tunes) and the eval discipline that goes with it
- Content moderation or safety tooling experience
- Familiarity with Ruby on Rails or React/TypeScript (you'll integrate with both)
