Hiring: AI Engineer Company: Tessera Labs Location: San Jose, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-12 12:54:08 Employment Type: Hybrid Target Skills & Keywords : Embedded Systems, LLM, Python, RAG, RBAC, SAP, SOC 2, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Snowflake, TypeScript, Workday About the job Experience: •3+ years building and operating production software, with meaningful recent time on LLM-powered systems. Required Skills: •Turning platform capability into outcomes a Fortune 500 will bet on has two halves — the systems that surround the model, and the model itself. This role owns the first. •This is not a prototyping role. Everything you build gets pointed at systems a company's quarter close depends on. •If the model itself interests you more than the systems around it, look at Research Engineer — same team, other half of the problem. •Design and ship the production agents that do transformation work: understanding a landscape, planning a change, executing it across process, data, and code, and proving it was correct. •Build the tool layer — typed, permissioned, well-documented interfaces that let agents read and act across enterprise systems without ever exceeding what a human approver authorized. •Improve agent performance through prompting, context construction, tool-use strategy, and decision logic — and know which of those a given failure calls for. •Build the retrieval layer over enterprise artifacts and metadata: chunking and indexing strategies for content that doesn't resemble prose, hybrid search, reranking, grounding, and the evaluation that tells you whether any of it helped. •Manage context deliberately. Enterprise artifacts are enormous and a forty-step run accumulates history fast; deciding what the model sees, what gets compressed, and what gets dropped is a first-class engineering problem here, not a prompt detail.
