About the job
AI Engineer
Who we are
Makai Labs builds software that automates entire companies. We work across a diversified portfolio, which means our systems touch a wide range of domains, processes, and operational constraints. Our engineering team is small, senior, and high-output. We move fast, hold high standards, and trust each other to take ownership without being managed.
What we're looking for
Makai Labs is hiring a AI Engineer to help build AI systems for enterprise automation. This is a hands-on builder role where you’ll work closely with our engineering and design teams to prototype, ship, and improve AI-powered products and internal tools. You’ll have the opportunity to own smaller projects end to end while contributing to larger client and platform initiatives.
Responsibilities will include
- Build and improve AI-powered applications and internal tools
- Rapidly prototype, experiment, and iterate across client and internal projects
- Implement workflows that use LLMs, retrieval systems, agents, and structured outputs
- Contribute to shared platform work and reusable tooling
- Turn prototypes into reliable, client-ready systems
