AI Engineer

About the Role

Teserac is building neuron™, a unified AI-native platform for data center observability, intelligence, and workflow automation. neuron™ processes real-time telemetry from thousands of sensors, meters, and control systems across heterogeneous environments — giving infrastructure owners the visibility to monitor, analyze, automate, and proactively manage power operations with full situational awareness. An embedded AI teammate serves as every operator's always-on co-pilot: detecting anomalies, correlating events, and surfacing recommendations 24/7.

We are seeking an AI/ML Engineer who is excited to build intelligent systems at the intersection of applied AI and critical infrastructure. You will work across the full AI development lifecycle — from data pipelines and model integration to agentic orchestration, evaluation, and production support — collaborating closely with a small, fast-moving engineering team.

This is not a research-only role, but research thinking matters here. You will be expected to read papers, stay ahead of the field, and bring ideas to the table — then build them into production systems.

Who We Are Looking For

We care more about how you think than how many years are on your resume. This role is open to both junior and senior candidates. What matters is:

• You are genuinely excited about AI and infrastructure — not just one of them
• You learn fast, go deep, and can hold your own in a technical debate
• You have the engineering fundamentals to ship reliable systems
• You are proactive, curious, and comfortable with a steep learning curve
• You want to work on something technically hard that actually matters in the physical world

If you are early in your career but have strong fundamentals, a track record of self-directed learning, and a portfolio that shows you build things — we want to hear from you.

What You Will Work On

• Multi-agent orchestration and LLM-driven triage workflows
• Time-series modeling for anomaly detection, failure prediction, and health forecasting on multivariate telemetry
• Retrieval-augmented knowledge systems for operations teams
• Data and ML pipelines — ingestion, ETL, and dataset construction
• Fine-tuning and post-training of language models for operational use cases
• AI observability, evaluation frameworks, and production performance benchmarking

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain AI-powered applications and automation workflows
• Integrate and optimize LLM APIs for production use cases
• Build and refine retrieval and knowledge-augmentation pipelines
• Develop evaluation frameworks to benchmark AI system performance
• Implement monitoring, tracing, and debugging capabilities for AI systems
• Read and synthesize relevant research; bring ideas forward and debate them with the team
• Contribute to AI architecture decisions and production hardening
• Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI/ML landscape

Requirements

Required

• Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience
• Strong proficiency in Python
• Solid software engineering fundamentals: testing, version control, CI/CD
• Experience working with LLM APIs in applied contexts
• Familiarity with agentic system concepts — tool/function-calling, agent frameworks
• Daily use of AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, etc.)
• Ability to read ML research papers and translate ideas into practical experiments
• Strong analytical thinking and clear communication — you can argue a position and update it when wrong

Preferred

• Professional AI/ML engineering experience (any level)
• Experience building agentic systems using frameworks such as LangGraph or LangChain; MCP a plus
• Time-series modeling — forecasting and anomaly/failure prediction on multivariate data
• Experience fine-tuning or post-training language models
• PyTorch and/or model serving frameworks (e.g., vLLM)
• Experience building data and ML pipelines — ingestion, ETL, dataset construction
• Familiarity with cloud ML platforms, particularly GCP (Vertex AI)
• LLM evaluation and benchmarking: harness design and eval loop development
• Domain experience with data center or industrial telemetry, BMS/OT protocols (Niagara, BACnet/Modbus)
• Background in DevOps, distributed systems, or observability tooling

Benefits

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Free Food & Snacks
• Stock Option Plan
• 401(k)
