Ayama has partnered with Andrew Ng’s AI Fund and a Fortune 500 energy leader to use AI to reshape how $10+ Trillion of heavy assets operate, are managed, and are maintained. With electrification driving rapid growth in energy and reshoring accelerating the build out of U.S. electronics and IT manufacturing, the company plans to close critical gaps by raising asset uptime & output as well as staff productivity. Ayama is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help drive the AI revolution into critical assets.
The senior engineer will work across the full stack, including backend, frontend, data pipelines, and AI systems. The problems span optimization, retrieval, and real-time decision support for field teams. This is a 100% hands-on role.

Responsibilities for the Role Include:
- Build and improve production RAG and LLM-based systems
- Design and maintain data pipelines that integrate enterprise data sources at scale
- Develop full-stack product features end-to-end, from Python backend through React/TypeScript frontend
- Work on optimization and scheduling problems with real operational constraints
- Build evaluation frameworks that measure whether AI systems are actually improving
Requirements For the Role Include:
- 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
- Full-stack depth in Python (Django/FastAPI) and modern React/TypeScript
- Production experience building RAG and LLM-based systems, not prototypes
- Strong architectural judgment
- Comfort with large-scale data processing and cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred)
- Fluency with AI-assisted development tools
Nice To Haves Include:
- Experience with ERP systems, especially SAP (maintenance workflows, master data, integrations)
