# Senior AI Engineer - Company: [Metaforms]() - Location: Bengaluru - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: June 24, 2026 ## Job description ## About Metaforms Market research runs on 30-year-old survey platforms and armies of specialists hand-coding questionnaires in proprietary languages. Metaforms is the agent layer that does that work. Every survey is a program — full of skip logic, piping, quotas, and loops — and a single wrong number in a client report is unrecoverable. Our AI agents write production survey code, QA live deployments, process and clean large structured datasets, configure analysis, and generate client-ready reports, so agencies like Dynata, Savanta, and Borderless Access ship more projects with far less friction. * 1,000+ surveys processed monthly * Serving Fortune 500 companies across the globe * Rapid month-over-month growth We’re Series A funded and scaling fast, aggressively growing our AI engineering team to build the next generation of production-grade AI agent systems. ## The Role We’re hiring a Senior AI Engineer to own the design, development, and continuous improvement of the AI agent systems that power modern research operations. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at the intersection of applied AI and systems engineering. You’ll work on genuinely hard problems: agent reliability at scale, long-context handling, cascading error mitigation, and evaluation infrastructure — like codegen agents that write in proprietary DSLs, computer-use agents that QA live deployments, data agents that clean tabular exports and configure multi-step analysis, and evals for outputs where “correct” is genuinely ambiguous. And you’ll do it on a team that ships fast and treats quality as non-negotiable. ## What You’ll Own ### Agent Harness and Architecture * Own the agent harness our production agents run on — the loop where agents plan, use tools, check their work, and recover from failures * Lead research and implementation for long-context handling and cascading-error challenges in multi-step agent pipelines * Drive context engineering strategy and experimentation frameworks across the team ### Evaluation and Production Monitoring * Define structured rubrics for evaluating AI outputs on nuanced, ambiguous research tasks * Build continuous monitoring, tracing, and failure-mode analysis for agents in production — including the loop that turns production failures into test cases * Create tooling that lets domain experts refine and evolve the skill files, eval sets, and knowledge bases our agents consume ### Reliability for High-Stakes Outputs * Build eval suites — regression sets, golden datasets, LLM-as-judge pipelines — that catch regressions before deploy * Develop evaluation datasets for DSLs, structured data transforms, and computed outputs to systematically find and close model weaknesses * Design human-in-the-loop and review workflows for outputs where a single wrong number in a client report is unrecoverable ## What We’re Looking For ### Must-Have * Built and operated agentic systems in production — multi-step pipelines, tool use, codegen, computer-use, or data and reporting agents — not just prototypes * 4+ years of engineering experience, with at least 1 year focused on LLM/agent systems in production * Deep hands-on experience with frontier model APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini), evaluation frameworks, and AI system optimization * Strong Python skills; Go or TypeScript a plus * Solid grasp of context engineering and evaluation methodology * Strong instincts for debugging complex, non-deterministic system failures * High ownership: you drive problems to resolution independently and pull others in when it matters ### Nice to Have * Experience with LLM observability and eval tooling (Braintrust, Langfuse, LangSmith, Weave, promptfoo, or in-house equivalents) * Background in semantic parsing, DSLs, or structured-output generation * Prior work on computer-use or browser agents * Experience with human-in-the-loop agent workflows where proposals are reviewed before apply, or agents over large structured datasets ## Why Metaforms * Work at the frontier of production AI: systems handling 1,000+ research projects a month, with the reliability bar that implies * A small, senior team where your decisions carry real architectural weight * Zero-bureaucracy culture: high autonomy, fast feedback loops, direct access to leadership * Well-funded and financially stable, with a clear roadmap and the runway to execute on it ## Benefits * Full family health insurance * $1,000 USD annual learning and development budget * Dedicated mentor and coaching support * Free snacks and dinner at the office ## Apply [Apply on Metaforms]() Canonical job page:
