Context Engineer

We are seeking a Context Engineer to design, build, and optimize the systems that provide high-quality context to AI models. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, data systems, and applied AI. You will be responsible for ensuring that AI systems receive the right information, in the right format, at the right time—enabling more accurate, reliable, and useful outputs. Context Engineers play a critical role in shaping how large language models (LLMs) and AI agents interact with data, tools, and users.

About the role

What you'll do

We are seeking a Context Engineer to design, build, and optimize the systems that provide high-quality context to AI models. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, data systems, and applied AI. You will be responsible for ensuring that AI systems receive the right information, in the right format, at the right time—enabling more accurate, reliable, and useful outputs.

You will work closely with our AI, product, and infrastructure teams. The systems you ship will run inside the largest data environments in the world.

Day to day

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain pipelines that retrieve, filter, and structure context for AI systems
  • Build and optimize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems
  • Develop strategies for prompt construction, memory management, and context window optimization
  • Integrate structured and unstructured data sources (databases, APIs, documents, knowledge bases)
  • Collaborate with ML engineers to improve model performance through better context delivery
  • Implement evaluation frameworks to measure context quality and downstream impact
  • Optimize latency, cost, and scalability of context delivery systems
  • Ensure data relevance, freshness, and security in all context pipelines
  • Debug and analyze model failures related to missing or incorrect context

What we're looking for

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Strong programming skills in Python (or similar language)
  • Experience with APIs, distributed systems, and backend development
  • Familiarity with databases (SQL and NoSQL) and data modeling
  • Understanding of LLMs and prompt engineering concepts
  • Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS)
  • Knowledge of information retrieval, embeddings, and semantic search
  • Strong problem-solving and system design skills

Bonus

Nice to have

  • Context modeling and system design
  • Data pipeline architecture
  • Prompt engineering and experimentation
  • Debugging AI behavior through context analysis
  • Performance optimization (latency, throughput, cost)
  • Cross-functional collaboration
