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.
