Job Description

Remote AI Engineer developing AI capabilities for Alkami, a digital banking platform provider. Collaborating with the AI Engineering team to enhance the Elixir platform's features and security.

Responsibilities:

  • Partner with the AI Engineering lead to ship features from day one, ramping quickly into independent contributions on the Elixir platform
  • Complete a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) rotation in months 1–2 — embed with a business function to learn what the platform must support by being the one who needs it
  • Contribute to Elixir’s core platform: skill execution runtime, tool/MCP registry, retrieval and memory primitives, evaluation harnesses, observability and cost telemetry, and multi-model routing
  • Extend the skills surface: creating, editing, version control, AI assistance, testing, benchmarking, and permissions
  • Build event-driven background agents — absorb support-ticket pre-triage, ambient agents, and webhook-driven flows into Elixir as native event-driven flows
  • Productize what FDEs build — extract platform-level needs so each engagement compounds rather than serializes
  • Make Elixir secure for production — PII handling, access control, audit logging, evaluation gates, sandboxing, and multi-tenant isolation
  • Maintain clear and proactive communication with stakeholders and cross-functional partners
  • Demonstrate self-sufficiency by independently managing tasks, problem-solving, and meeting deadlines while adapting to new challenges.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience as a software, data, or AI engineer
  • Fluent in Python and at least one typed language (TypeScript, C#, Java, or equivalent)
  • Internalized CS fundamentals: complexity analysis, recursion, algorithms, and data structures
  • Practical database depth — ACID transactions, contention, indexes, and migrations in both SQL and NoSQL environments
  • Has built at least one full-stack application from scratch in a modern JavaScript framework (React or Svelte)
  • Basic proficiency in Linux, sandboxed execution, micro-VMs, and containerization
  • Trainable and coachable — works best for someone without hardened framework preferences who is excited by an intense mentorship environment
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences
  • Proven ability to work cross-functionally across engineering and business teams.

Benefits:

  • Remote-first environment
  • Unlimited paid time off
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Diverse and inclusive culture
  • Fun culture
