At Ruby Labs we are looking for an AI Engineer (Strong Middle / Senior level) to own and drive the quality, reliability and evolution of our AI systems in production.

This is a high-ownership role. You will be responsible for end-to-end delivery of AI features, production stability of AI systems, and data-driven experimentation using tools like Langfuse and Cloudflare AI gateway for model routing. Increasingly, this includes agentic, tool-using AI systems: defining clean tool contracts (including MCP-based tools) and orchestrating how AI interacts with internal services, search and background pipelines.

The stack is TypeScript end to end: Node.js and Hono services on Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects and Containers, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch. Models from several providers run behind an AI gateway, with prompts, traces and evaluations in Langfuse.

• Take ownership of major AI features and LLM workflows and deliver them to production within agreed timelines.

• Own AI output quality, structure and predictability across user-facing AI interactions, with consistent structured output across different LLMs for the same request type.

• Integrate and orchestrate multiple LLM providers through an AI gateway, managing model selection, fallback strategies and cost optimisation.

• Design and orchestrate tool-using and agentic AI workflows: clean tool contracts (including MCP-based tools), function-calling interfaces and reliable AI-to-system integrations.

• Build and maintain multi-step LLM workflows and RAG pipelines (indexing, embeddings, retrieval, re-ranking) for reasoning, context reuse and search.

• Design and manage production prompt systems with dynamic prompting, context injection, and conditional logic.

• Own prompt management, the release of LLM experiments and Langfuse-based evaluation pipelines: test datasets, LLM-as-a-judge, output scoring.

• Run A/B tests across models and prompts, analyse the results and present the data-driven impact of AI features and experiments.

• Deep-debug LLM chains using Langfuse traces: identify bottlenecks, optimise for cost, latency and context-window usage, and root-cause hallucinations and logic errors.

• Write clean, scalable and maintainable TypeScript across the Node.js / Cloudflare Workers stack.

• Build reliable backend logic for AI systems: request and output validation, error handling, fallback flows for malformed or low-quality model responses, and reliable tool execution.

• Ensure high code quality through tests (including validation and fallback paths for AI output), code reviews and clear engineering standards.

• Monitor AI system metrics, quality signals, latency and release health, and resolve production issues with a documented root cause.

• Document prompt designs, model and routing choices, evaluation results and architectural decisions, so others can pick up the work.

Ruby Labs operates within the CET (Central European Time) zone. Applicants from any country are welcome to apply for the position as long as they are located within approximately ± 4 hours of CET. This ensures optimal collaboration and communication during working hours.
