## About the role

Aalyria is hiring a software engineer to build the AI layer of our engineering organization. This is fundamentally a building role where you will design, ship, and operate internal AI products and platform services, such as chat and agent interfaces, retrieval over our code and docs, AI-integrated developer workflows, sandboxed execution environments, on top of our existing cloud infrastructure (GCP, GKE, Vertex AI, GitLab).

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience building LLM-powered systems: retrieval pipelines, tool use / MCP, agent orchestration, prompt and context management, and evaluating whether any of it actually works
- Developer-platform integration experience: working with Git-hosting APIs, webhooks, and CI/CD to embed AI into the workflows engineers already live in
- Sandboxing and isolation literacy: understanding of how to safely run model-generated code and constrain agent access (containers, network policy, least-privilege credentials)
- Clear written communication: Specifically for technical and executive audiences, including candid assessments of what is not working
- High autonomy: you will define your own roadmap from a clear mandate and validate it directly with the teams you serve
- U.S. citizen or national
