Senior AI Engineer

Company Mission

zyme turns repeatable processes into guided workflows. Our mission is to help teams design processes once and run them reliably at scale, shifting time from repetitive logistics to high‑value collaboration.

Role Mission

As a Senior AI Engineer on our Core AI team, you’ll build the intelligence that makes zyme feel autonomous: generating workflows from intent, recommending availability, automating bookings, and surfacing insights from analytics and feedback.

You’ll work closely with Product, Research, and Developer Experience to transform raw LLM capabilities into safe, fast, and lovable product features.

This is a rare opportunity to join early and shape the DNA of our product and company. Your work will directly influence how engineers, coaches, and enterprises design and run their workflows worldwide.

• Integrate state‑of‑the‑art LLMs to automate scheduling, bookings, and availability setup.
• Continuously improve model performance on accuracy, latency, and cost.
• Innovate on workflow transformation, summarization, and analytics insight.

Lead Engineering Efforts

• Define best practices for LLM‑powered apps in TypeScript and Next.js.
• Build scalable, containerized, distributed systems for inference and retrieval.
• Optimize performance to deliver low‑latency, reliable AI responses.
• Improve the developer experience of AI‑driven features across the platform.

Nice to Have

• Strong CS fundamentals.
• Track record of shipping AI features in production at scale.
• Experience with scheduling, booking, or workflow automation systems.
• Customer‑facing experience delivering technical solutions.
• Product mindset—care about usability, not just accuracy.
