We're looking for a Senior AI Engineer who wants to build AI that works in the real world, on real enterprise data, with problems that don't have textbook answers. You'll join a team where AI isn't just the product. It's how we work.

We care more about your growth curve than your years. If AI has made you a dramatically better engineer over the last 2–3 years, and you have the projects to show it, we want to hear from you.

Based in Israel, working hybrid from our Tel Aviv office.

Why this role

• Own a whole area. Knowledge pipelines, agents or evals, end to end, not one slice of a large platform.

• See your impact fast. What you ship reaches technicians and service agents at enterprise customers within weeks.

• Work on hard, real data. Messy manuals, tickets and work orders, where a wrong answer has real consequences.

• Join an AI-native team today. Agents already run in our daily engineering work, and you'll help build the next ones.

What you'll build and own

• Knowledge pipelines. Turn manuals, tickets and work orders into trusted knowledge that powers chat and text experiences, with voice and video on the roadmap.

• Production AI agents. Build multi-step agents that use tools and APIs, handle failures gracefully, and balance reliability, speed and cost.

• Measurable AI. Build automated evals, define success metrics, and catch regressions before they reach production.

• Real business problems. Understand customer workflows, find what's worth automating, and deliver it with product and customer-facing teams.

• Security by design. Protect customer data, prevent cross-customer exposure and prompt injection, and keep agent tool use safe.

• How we build. Share what works, build tools and agents the team adopts, and help raise the bar for AI-native engineering.

• Outcomes, not just code. Drive solutions from design to production, and keep improving them once they're live.

Requirements

• A hands-on developer with a steep growth curve. Ideally 5+ years of development experience, but what you can build matters more than how long you've been building.

• AI-native in practice. AI is part of how you plan, build, test and review, and you know when its output isn't good enough.

• Agents in production. You've built agents that call tools and APIs, and you know what it takes to keep them reliable, fast and affordable.

• You measure AI quality. You've built evals, defined success metrics and used them to decide what ships.

• Real problems, real results. You've turned a complex workflow into an AI-powered solution and can show measurable impact.

• Solid backend engineering. Production services and pipelines in Python, TypeScript, Go, C#, Java or similar.

• Ownership and clear communication. You take initiative, see things through to production, and explain AI behaviour clearly to product, CS and customers.

Nice to have

• RAG, data ingestion, retrieval and reranking.

• A security background: secure coding, OWASP (including the LLM Top 10), threat modelling.

• LLM data pipelines: labelling, classification or extraction at scale.

• Experience in DevOps, QA, data or support roles alongside development.

• Enterprise B2B experience, especially working directly with customers or customer-facing teams.

It's not enough to have a cool product; join us because you share our values:

• Support yourself and those you love: We offer parental leave to full-time employees across all Aquant locations.

• Vacation your way: We want to make sure you have time to meet your personal needs with generous PTO and flexible vacation planning.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
