About Level AI Level AI is on a mission to turn every customer interaction into a strategic advantage. Our AI-native platform helps enterprises transform contact centers from cost centers into engines of customer intelligence operational efficiency and business growth. By combining advanced AI with deep domain understanding of customer experience Level AI empowers teams to unlock actionable insights automate workflows and deliver more consistent higher-quality support across the customer journey. Headquartered in Mountain View California Level AI is a Series C company backed by leading investors including Battery Ventures and ENIAC. Our platform leverages Large Language Models and Custom Small Language Models (SLMs) to power AI Agents across the entire CX journey—customer-facing agents agent-assist and backend automation—along with deep conversation analytics for QA coaching and insights. About the role As a Senior Engineer – AI Agents you will play a critical role in building the scalable backend systems that power Level AI’s next-generation AI Agents. These systems operate in real-time high-volume enterprise environments and are central to delivering intelligent production-grade AI experiences. You will work at the intersection of distributed systems cloud infrastructure and AI-powered applications—bringing agentic AI capabilities into production at scale. ### What you’ll get to do at Level AI (and more as we grow together) Design and build scalable backend systems powering AI Agents that operate in real-time enterprise environments Develop agent orchestration frameworks (multi-step reasoning tool usage decisioning workflows) Build systems for agent memory context management and state persistence across interactions Architect low-latency inference pipelines integrating LLMs SLMs and external tools/services Implement evaluation (evals) frameworks to measure agent performance accuracy and reliability Enable continuous improvement loops (feedback retraining deployment) for AI agents in production Design and manage event-driven asynchronous workflows for complex agent tasks Optimize systems for high throughput low latency and cost-efficient inference at scale Build and maintain robust APIs and service layers (REST / gRPC) for agent capabilities Partner closely with Applied AI / ML teams to productionize models and agent behaviours. Collaborate with Product and Solutions teams to translate real customer workflows into agentic systems Drive best practices in observability monitoring safety and guardrails for AI systems Contribute to architecture decisions for scaling multi-tenant enterprise-grade AI platforms ### We'll love to explore more about you if you have 5+ years of experience in backend engineering distributed systems or platform engineering Strong experience building high-scale production-grade backend systems Experience designing systems for real-time processing streaming or event-driven architectures Strong understanding of API design (REST gRPC) and microservices architectures Experience with databases (SQL + NoSQL) and data modeling for high-scale systems Hands-on experience with Docker Kubernetes and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) Strong fundamentals in system design concurrency and performance optimization Strong Plus (Agent / AI focus) Experience working with LLMs conversational AI or AI-powered products in production Familiarity with agent frameworks tool calling or multi-step reasoning systems Experience building or integrating RAG pipelines vector databases or retrieval systems Exposure to evaluation systems (offline/online evals A/B testing for AI systems) Understanding of prompting strategies context windows and model behavior optimization Experience with real-time decisioning systems or workflow orchestration engines Perks & Benefits Competitive compensation with performance-based upside Flexible vacation policy Health insurance coverage Work with a globally distributed high-impact team Opportunity to build cutting-edge AI products at scale Regular team offsites and in-person collaboration To learn more visit https//thelevel.ai/ Funding https//www.crunchbase.com/organization/level-ai LinkedIn https//www.linkedin.com/company/level-ai/ Our AI platform https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=g06q2Vkb-s We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process such as reviewing applications analyzing resumes or assessing responses.
