About the Role:

We are building an AI-first scheduling and booking intelligence layer on top of a universal Calendars & Availability Platform. As the Lead Engineer for the Calendar AI Team, you will architect and deliver AI systems that assist users during setup, configuration, and optimization of their booking systems – and evolve this into a full AI-driven scheduling engine that optimizes capacity, utilisation, and resource allocation.

You will lead the design of LLM workflows, RAG pipelines, retrieval layers, embeddings, context builders, scheduling-aware reasoning modules, optimisation algorithms, and backend integrations. You will also guide and mentor engineers as the AI team grows.

This is a deeply technical role with a strong emphasis on AI engineering + System Design + scheduling domain logic.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement LLM-powered onboarding assistants using Google/OpenAI/Anthropic models with deterministic orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom pipelines)
• Build RAG workflows using vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector) to inject contextual booking data into model prompts
• Develop AI-driven configuration engines that translate natural language into structured booking primitives (services, schedules, resources, capacity, pricing rules)
• Design optimization models for resource utilization, workload distribution, capacity forecasting, and conflict reduction
• Integrate AI pipelines into backend systems using Nodejs/TypeScript/Go services
• Build scheduling-aware reasoning modules that handle constraints, buffers, lead times, resource availability, and business rules
• Create scalable data pipelines for embeddings generation, context indexing, and model fine-tuning/hybrid retrieval
• Implement latency-optimized inference orchestration with streaming responses, caching, and hybrid decision engines
• Own the AI Runtime Layer enabling vertical-specific booking logic, plugins, actions, and smart suggestions
• Lead and mentor the engineering team, enforce architectural standards, and drive long-term AI roadmap

Requirements:

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, with at least 2 years building LLM, RAG or intelligent systems
• Experience with OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Meta LLMs (GPT-4+, Claude, Gemini, Llama)
• Strong with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom LLM orchestration frameworks
• Expertise with RAG architectures
• Experience building prompt pipelines, tools/agents, and compound reasoning workflows
• Comfort with guardrails, validation layers, hallucination reduction, and safety
• Strong proficiency in Nodejs/TypeScript/Go for platform integration
