Senior AI Engineer at Zep AI

Zep is the memory and context layer for AI agents. As a Senior AI Engineer, you'll build low-latency backend systems, operate them in production on AWS, and ship LLM-powered capabilities our customers depend on. You'll have the opportunity to work on Graphiti (25K+ GitHub stars), Zep’s popular open-source context graph framework. This is a senior backend role centered on running LLM workloads at significant scale. We're not hiring ML researchers or data scientists. We're hiring engineers who have already lived through the messy reality of taking an LLM application from demo to production. How we work We're a small, distributed team that works closely together. We pair on hard problems, review each other's designs, and treat learning as part of the job rather than something that happens after hours. We ask a lot of questions: of customers, of teammates, of our own assumptions. When we find pain, we go fix it. We expect the same back: ask questions early, push back when you disagree, and care about the people on the other end of the API. What you'll do Ship product features end-to-end across backend services, APIs, data flows, and the supporting UI where it makes sense. Build and ope
