Founding AI Engineer
About this role
Mondrio is hiring a Founding AI Engineer to build the evaluation systems, feedback loops, and LLM infrastructure that let our pricing AI earn trust and drive measurable revenue impact; you'll join a small, product-focused team shipping to customers and owning outcomes. This role matters because its work directly ties model outputs to revenue and compliance constraints in high-stakes B2B pricing decisions.
What youll do
- Build eval harnesses and benchmarks that use tracked pricing outcomes as ground truth.
- Systematize and automate expert review workflows currently done manually.
- Develop AI personas that simulate B2B buying committees and behavioral effects using usage data and call transcripts.
- Automate persona training pipelines that are today manual.
- Own LLM routing across providers (Anthropic, Google, etc.) with explicit cost, latency, and quality tradeoffs.
- Maintain infrastructure and data residency boundaries (e.g., ensure EU model calls remain in the EU).
- Extend the MCP server used by LLM agents, including customer agents, so features are agent-driven.
- Ensure features are considered done when agents can drive them through MCP, not just when UI renders.
- Work within a typed ontology of pricing entities so model outputs are structured and auditable.
- Identify and remediate systemic latency, data drift, and cold-start issues in the pricing loop.
What Mondrio is looking for
- 8+ years of engineering experience with strong, recent production LLM depth.
- Proven track record shipping and owning LLM-powered product features in production.
- Direct experience building evals and observability for LLM systems (not just running dashboards).
- Experience with MCP or building tools for LLM agents and familiarity with platforms like LangChain, LlamaIndex, Braintrust, or OpenRouter.
- Experience operating under data residency, SOC2, and GDPR constraints in domains where correctness is audited (pricing, billing, payments).
- Strong communication skills to explain non-deterministic systems to clients and partners and product-engineer instincts to scope and deliver pragmatic solutions.
- Authorized to work in the US (Mondrio is unable to sponsor visas at this time).
Company at a glance
At Mondrio, we’re on a mission to build the future of pricing: agentic pricing management. We believe that monetization should be data-driven rather than a one-time exercise. It should evolve as products, markets, or sales motions change. Our AI-native platform equips companies to bring that pricing intelligence into strategy and deal decisions.
