Niural is an AI-native global PEO platform that unifies payroll, compliance, and payment operations into a single intelligent system. Backed by M13.
About the role
We are hiring a Software Engineer, Applied AI to build the intelligence layer of the Niural platform. You will work on EMMA, our AI orchestration system, shipping agent workflows, retrieval pipelines, and document understanding systems that operate directly on payroll, tax, and compliance data. This is not a research role, and it is not a chatbot bolted onto a SaaS product. The systems you build take real actions on money movement and statutory filings, where “usually right” is a defect.
What they're looking for
- 3 plus years of professional software engineering experience, including recent production experience shipping LLM-backed features to real users
- Strong Python skills and comfort in service-oriented codebases: APIs, queues, background workers, and observability
- Hands-on experience with retrieval-augmented generation: embedding models, vector stores (pgvector, OpenSearch, Pinecone, or equivalent), hybrid search, reranking, and query rewriting
- Hands-on experience with agent architectures: tool and function calling, multi-step planning, state and memory, error recovery, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints
- Experience with structured output: JSON schema enforcement, constrained decoding, validation and repair
- Experience designing and running LLM evaluations and regression testing, not just eyeballing outputs
