AI Systems Engineer / Architect

We're hiring an experienced engineer to build the internal AI platform and systems layer for an established enterprise data security company with 40 years in the market.

This is a hands-on role for someone who turns real-world workflows into robust internal systems. You'll partner with leadership, domain owners, and a knowledge engineer already deep in workflow design, process mapping, and eval design. The goal: understand how work actually happens, find where AI creates leverage, and build the infrastructure that makes it reliable.

A core part of the work is building the connective layer across tools, workflows, documents, and operational signals that gives AI systems the context they need. You'll own what sits underneath: connectors, tool contracts, permissions, tracing, context services, deployment plumbing, and the applications on top.

What you'd build:

Process-mining agents that map how teams actually work
Sandbox environments for testing AI systems against real operational data before rollout
Orchestration and control-plane infrastructure for AI across functions
Internal tools that close the gap between a working prototype and something a team can rely on daily

What we're looking for:

Senior / staff / principal / architect-level experience
Ships robust systems across backend services, integrations, data flows, and application logic
Uses LLMs as daily building tools, not just a subject of interest
Strong product instincts; turns ambiguity into useful software
Draws clear boundaries between deterministic and model-driven systems
Builds human review, escalation, and guardrails into higher-risk workflows
Gets embedded with teams to understand the real work, not just the stated requirements

Health, dental, vision, life, and short/long-term disability insurance
Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave
Competitive compensation and opportunities for advancement
Retirement plan with employer contribution match
Welcoming, family-style corporate culture uniquely suited to fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and motivated individuals
One of San Antonio’s “Best Places to Work” for nine consecutive years
