WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
At Distyl, AI systems live or die on latency, reliability, and operational excellence. AI Production Engineers focus on building and operating AI systems that perform in real time, at scale, under strict reliability constraints. They work with the rest of the forward deployed team to ensure our AI systems are reliable, performant, and secure from the ground up.
These engineers are hands-on system owners who bring deep expertise in production engineering—low-latency services, voice pipelines, batch processing, and observability—while remaining fully accountable for the behavior and value of customer-facing AI systems. They thrive in high-performance environments and take personal ownership of making sure AI systems are fast, stable, and trustworthy in production.
