Job Description
Tellius is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join their AI team. This high-impact role focuses on building scalable AI systems for real-world decision-making. Responsibilities include architecting and implementing core infrastructure for AI agents and orchestration using frameworks like LangChain. You will build and optimize backend services using Python and SQL, develop robust data pipelines, and contribute to agentic application design. Collaboration with AI researchers, product managers, and designers is key to shipping production-ready features. The role also involves engaging with design partners and customers to validate architecture and product direction, and collaborating with and mentoring junior engineers.
Good To Have:
- Experience with Spark, Scala, or distributed compute frameworks
- Exposure to AI applications in B2B/enterprise environments
- Previous experience at an early-stage startup
- Familiarity with data engineering, ETL pipelines, or analytics workflows
Must Have:
- 2-6 years of software engineering experience
- Deep knowledge of AI engineering
- Experience with agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex)
- Strong backend skills with Python and SQL
- Experience with database design
- Experience with data systems and scalable infrastructure
Tellius enables organizations to get faster insights and act upon cloud-scale enterprise data using AI-powered automation. Any user can ask any question across billions of records via a ChatGPT-like interface, understand “why” metrics change via AI insights that surface hidden key drivers and trends, and leverage agentic flows to perform complex multipart analysis easily — in a self-service manner. Unlike traditional BI tools, Tellius excels at ad hoc analysis, deep dives, and business-friendly advanced analytics.
