Hilbert is a scalable, data science-first growth infra that gives B2C teams predictive clarity into user behavior, revenue drivers, and the actions that drive sustainable growth. Fully agentic by design, Hilbert shrinks months-long decision cycles to minutes. Backed by a16z.
About the role
Own the evaluation layer for our agents — harnesses, metrics, golden datasets, regression gates, and human-in-the-loop review . Architect and implement agent workflows using LangChain , LangGraph , or equivalent; state memory, routing, tools registries and recovery paths.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of production software engineering: APIs, services, data infrastructure. You've owned code that other people depended on, with tests, CI/CD, and on-call attached
- 2+ years building LLM or agent systems that shipped to productions watching real users adopt. Not internal demos, not prototypes. Be ready to talk about what broke in production and what you did about it
- Hands on with LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent agent/orchestration frameworks. You've built with them, hit their limits, and worked around them. You operate beyond just following tutorials
- You communicate with clarity and conviction. You can explain a technical decision to a non-technical founder and debate architecture tradeoffs with a senior engineer. Communication is not a nice-to-have here — it's core to the role
- You take ownership. You don't wait for tickets. You see what needs to be built, raise your hand, and ship it
- You thrive in ambiguity. AI products evolve fast. Requirements change. You're energized by figuring it out
More about this role
Hilbert is building a reasoning engine that must navigate non-deterministic user behavior across data silos — turning months-long decision cycles into minutes. Fully agentic by design, our demand intelligence platform doesn't just call APIs; it solves the hard problem of orchestrating multi-step inference over messy, high-stakes enterprise data where deterministic answers don't exist.
From Fortune 500 enterprises to beloved brands like FreshDirect, Blank Street, and Levain Bakery, operators run their growth on Hilbert. We're also co-building alongside leading AI companies.
We're looking for an AI Engineer who can build production-grade AI systems end-to-end — from prototype to pipeline to product — with the ownership and urgency of a startup culture.
This is not a "wire up a prompt chain and move on" role. You'll own core pieces of the AI stack that power Hilbert's demand intelligence platform — designing agent architectures, building evaluation systems, and making hard tradeoffs between accuracy, latency, and cost in production. You'll ship fast in conditions where the spec is evolving, and communicate what you're building (and why) with clarity to the rest of the team. If you...
