Principal AI Software Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Netherlands.

📋 Description

• Create and develop AI-driven tools to enhance productivity across both engineering and non-engineering teams (e.g., developer workflows, customer support tools, tax development, operations, compliance, and analytics).

• Build internal AI platforms, shared services, and reusable components that empower teams to construct AI-enabled applications safely and effectively.

• Design and maintain retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that are based on internal documentation, codebases, tax knowledge, and proprietary data.

• Collaborate with DevOps, platform, and security teams to ensure that AI systems are scalable, observable, secure, and compliant.

• Integrate AI functionalities into existing Taxwell products to enhance accuracy, usability, personalization, and customer outcomes.

• Architect and develop new customer-facing products where AI serves as a fundamental differentiator rather than a supplementary feature.

• Work in close collaboration with product, design, and tax domain experts to convert real user challenges into impactful AI-powered solutions.

• Ensure AI features adhere to high standards for reliability, explainability, and trust—particularly in regulated fields such as tax.

• Design and implement agent-based systems utilizing frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, ADK, or similar.

• Assess and integrate both commercial and open-source AI technologies, including frontier models and open-weight LLMs.

• Set best practices for prompt engineering, evaluation, monitoring, and continuous enhancement of AI systems.

• Shape AI architecture and technical direction throughout the organization through design reviews and active collaboration.

• Evaluate system performance using telemetry, automated metrics, and qualitative feedback from both internal and external users.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 10 years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a Principal- or Staff-level position.

• Demonstrated experience in designing and deploying production AI systems utilized by real users.

• Extensive hands-on experience with LLM-enabled systems, including prompt engineering, RAG, and agent orchestration.

• Proficient in Python and/or TypeScript.

• Experience in integrating AI systems with practical applications, workflows, and data sources.

• Knowledge of vector databases and embedding techniques (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, Chroma).

• Experience in deploying and managing systems on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

• Strong architectural judgment with the ability to balance experimentation and production rigor.
