Stelvio Inc. is hiring: Artificial Intelligence Engineer in Austin

Stelvio Inc., Austin, TX, United States


Austin, TX | Hybrid | No C2C or Sponsorship

I’m working closely with a fast-moving AI team building production-grade systems around large language models, focused on moving beyond demos into fully deployed, scalable products.

This is a role for engineers who enjoy operating at the intersection of backend systems and applied AI — where performance, reliability, and real-world usage actually matter.

What you’ll be working on

Designing and scaling backend services powering AI-driven applications (TypeScript / Node / Python)

Building real-time and event-driven systems that integrate with modern LLMs

Implementing streaming architectures, structured outputs, and tool/function-calling workflows

Working closely with product and applied AI teams to take ideas from concept → production

Shipping end-to-end features including system design, deployment, and reliability

Improving observability (metrics, logs, tracing) alongside cost and latency optimization

What they’re looking for

Strong backend engineering fundamentals with a bias toward shipping and iteration

Experience building and deploying applications powered by modern LLM APIs

Hands‑on work with structured outputs, streaming responses, and model orchestration

Comfort operating in ambiguous environments — able to self‑direct and execute

Solid understanding of distributed systems, real‑time processing, and production reliability

Strong experience signals

Familiarity with orchestration frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LangGraph) or similar tooling

Experience optimizing model usage (latency, cost, evals, prompt workflows)

Background working with modern backend stacks (TypeScript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, queueing systems)

Exposure to cloud environments (GCP preferred, AWS/Azure also relevant)

Working environment

Early‑stage, high‑ownership team where engineers shape both product and technical direction

Strong engineering culture with a focus on building and shipping quickly

Fully in‑person environment to enable tight collaboration and fast iteration

Downtown Austin location

If you’re already building with modern AI systems and want to work on products where the complexity goes beyond surface‑level integrations - this is worth exploring.

Feel free to reach out for more context.
