Staff Engineer, AI Engineering

Red Ventures Home helps partners across the home services ecosystem—telecom, security, energy, and home automation—unlock sustainable growth through proprietary distribution, data platforms, AI-enabled applications, and strategic partnerships.

We're hiring a Senior / Staff AI Engineer to transform how we build and deliver software. This role is primarily focused on building agentic workflows and AI-first development practices that fundamentally change delivery speed, quality, and team effectiveness. You'll work alongside the teams that will use these capabilities to ship production AI solutions for consumer-facing digital and call-center experiences.

Over the past year, we've proven that agentic workflows can materially change how solutions are delivered. We're now scaling that approach and need a deeply technical, hands-on engineer who thinks like a founder: someone who reimagines processes, builds the systems that enable change, and drives adoption across teams.

What You’ll Do:

Transform Delivery with Agentic Workflows (Primary Focus)

• Design and implement agentic workflows that materially reduce delivery time and cognitive load
• Build reusable accelerators, templates, and shared services for engineers, product managers, designers, and analysts
• Apply orchestration tools (LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, MCPs, n8n) with judgment—knowing where agents add leverage and where simpler solutions win
• Define and evangelize AI-first development practices across teams
• Leverage AI-enabled development environments (Cursor, Windsurf) and establish best practices for human + AI collaboration
• Drive measurable step-changes in team velocity and consistency

Build Production AI Solutions (Secondary Focus)

• Architect and Build LLM- and ML-powered solutions supporting digital journeys, call-center workflows, decisioning, and personalization
• Develop end-to-end systems using Python, JavaScript/TypeScript (optionally Go)
• Partner with Data Science to integrate generative AI with traditional ML (classification, regression)
• Build AI-enabled interfaces using modern web stacks (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
• Ensure scalability, reliability, security, and observability

Engineering & Platform Leadership

• Design modular, reusable AI systems that scale across clients and use cases
• Build and operate production LLM systems, including RAG and agent-based architectures
• Use Databricks for AI development (Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow)
• Apply strong engineering discipline: Git workflows, code reviews, TDD, CI/CD
• Mentor engineers and shape shared standards, patterns, and documentation

What We’re Looking For:

• Senior-level experience building production AI/ML systems
• Proven ability to architect modular, scalable AI solutions
• Strong Python proficiency; solid JavaScript/TypeScript experience
• Production experience with LLM applications (OpenAI, Anthropic APIs)
• Experience building inside of agent frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith
• Experience with agent orchestration and automation tools (MCPs)
• Experience with Databricks (Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow)
• Understanding of traditional ML and how it complements generative AI
• Experience scaling platforms or practices across teams

Compensation:

This range reflects total cash compensation, which may include base salary only or base salary plus target bonus, depending on the role. Where eligible, equity may also be offered separately and not included below. Actual compensation varies based on location, experience, and qualifications.

• Total Cash Compensation Range: $130,000 – $210,000 per year

Additionally, the following benefits are provided by Red Ventures, subject to eligibility requirements.

• Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
• Life Insurance
• Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Holiday Pay
• 401(k) with match
• Employee Assistance Program
• Paid Parental Bonding Benefit Program
• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): We believe time to rest and recharge is essential.  That’s why we offer a generous and flexible PTO policy.  Full-time employees accrue 20 days of PTO for a full calendar year annually, with an increase to 25 days after five years of service.
