Make eeze smarter and safer: retrieval, grounding and guardrails for an AI that negotiates with real money on the line.
eeze is an AI checkout. It answers buyer questions from a company's own docs, handles objections and can negotiate, but only inside rules the founder wrote, with every offer validated server-side. That combination of useful and safe is the whole product, and it is an engineering problem more than a prompt problem.
You will own the AI layer: retrieval quality, grounding and citations, evaluation, guardrails and cost. You will also help clients ship AI features in their own products during consulting engagements.
What you will do
- Improve retrieval and grounding so answers cite the tenant's knowledge base accurately
- Design and enforce guardrails around offers, discounts and claims
- Build evaluation suites that catch regressions before customers see them
- Tune latency and cost across Anthropic and OpenAI models, including bring-your-own-key setups
- Turn knowledge-gap analytics into a product feature founders act on
- Prototype and ship AI features with clients during engagements
- Stay current on model capabilities and separate the useful from the noise
What we are looking for
- Strong software engineering fundamentals; this is a production engineering role, not a research role
- Hands-on experience shipping LLM features to real users
- Practical knowledge of retrieval, embeddings, context management and evaluation
- Experience with at least one of the major model APIs in production
- A healthy scepticism and the habit of measuring model behaviour instead of assuming it
- Able to work from our Toronto office part of the week
Nice to have
- Experience with structured outputs, tool use and multi-step agent flows
- Background in payments, commerce or other domains where mistakes cost money
- Familiarity with guardrail and validation patterns for user-facing AI
- Experience running evals in CI
Who you are
- You treat the model as a component, not a magic box
- You would rather ship a reliable small feature than demo an impressive fragile one
- You test with adversarial inputs because customers will
- You write down what you learn so the team compounds
- You care whether the answer is actually true
How we hire
- 1 Intro call with an engineer, about 30 minutes
- 2 Short take-home assignment around retrieval and grounding on real docs
- 3 Technical conversation about your assignment and AI features you have shipped
- 4 Conversation with the founders
- 5 Offer
