Applied AI Engineer

We’re a high-growth B2B fintech startup revolutionising financial services with AI. Imagine Harvey AI for Financial Services – our mission is to democratise financial access for 1 billion people.

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on AI Engineer, super passionate about AI engineering, to design and scale AI agents. Join our dynamic, friendly, close-knit team to build impactful LLM-powered solutions at speed.

Responsibilities

  • Build and refine LLM-based agents, focusing on retrieval-augmented generation and data retrieval systems
  • Develop robust AI evaluation frameworks, metrics, and methodologies
  • Demonstrate NLP fundamentals (tokenisation, embeddings, LLM understanding)
  • Practise prompt engineering (few-shot, role-based, …), continuously testing and optimising prompts with tools like Weave or Laminar
  • Balance constraints (token limits, cost, speed) while maintaining clear, structured outputs
  • Apply back-end expertise for data-intensive applications, writing clean, modular Python code and performing quick data processing

What Values We’re Looking For and what you can expect the Saturn team to be:

  • Pursue Greatness: Strive for excellence in everything you do, iterating, learning, growing, and embracing discipline to drive progress.
  • Earn Trust: Build strong relationships through integrity, transparency, and delivering on your promises.
  • Seek Truth: Be data-driven, curious, and unafraid to challenge assumptions in pursuit of the best solutions.
  • Be Audacious: Dream big, take ownership, take calculated risks, and push boundaries to create meaningful progress.
  • Orbit Together: Collaborate with a shared mission, knowing collective success drives greater outcomes.

Technical Must-Haves

  • LLM-based agent design with retrieval-augmented generation
  • Proficiency in AI evaluation frameworks, NLP fundamentals (tokenisation, embeddings, LLM architecture), and bias handling
  • Prompt engineering with systematic experimentation (tools like Weave or Langsmith)
  • Strong Python back-end skills for data-intensive systems and data processing
  • Ability to balance token limits, cost, and speed while producing structured outputs

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and meaningful early-stage equity
  • Autonomy and ownership in your work
  • Budget for learning and professional growth
  • Access to world-class gym and wellness
  • Bi-annual team retreats

    We can also sponsor a visa if you are from India or US.
