About The Position

Prokeep is building the future of order automation for distributors, and we’re hiring a Senior / Staff AI Engineer to help integrate AI directly into our core product. This is a high-impact role shaping AI strategy at a growing product company, with the opportunity to build and evolve AI-powered capabilities that are central to how our customers work. You’ll focus on applying modern LLMs and data-driven systems to deliver meaningful, customer-facing features—not training custom models from scratch. You’ll play a key role in advancing our Order Automation capabilities, defining how AI is used across the product, and partnering closely with Engineering and Product to turn ideas into production-ready solutions.

Requirements

6+ years of experience building and shipping full-stack, customer-facing applications
Hands-on experience building AI-powered application features using LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar)
Experience taking AI features from concept to production, not just prototypes
Strong product and customer mindset—you think in workflows and outcomes, not just models
Solid understanding of how data enables AI features, including data quality, structure, and access
Comfortable operating in ambiguity, balancing experimentation with delivery
Willingness to work in Elixir (primary backend); strong experience with Python expected

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with React and PostgreSQL is a plus

Responsibilities

Build, iterate, and scale AI-powered features using LLMs and modern AI platforms, with a strong focus on application-level integration
Help define and drive Prokeep’s AI strategy, including where and how AI should be used across the product
Serve as an internal evangelist and subject-matter expert for AI, helping teams understand capabilities, tradeoffs, and best practices
Lead AI evaluation and testing efforts, owning not just the AI engines but also the testing and evaluation frameworks used to measure quality, reliability, and performance
Design and maintain internal tooling to support AI development, experimentation, and evaluation
Partner with Product, Engineering, and Leadership to identify high-impact opportunities where AI can improve customer workflows
Make thoughtful decisions around model selection, orchestration, prompting strategies, and cost/performance tradeoffs
Work closely with our Data Engineer to ensure the right data foundations exist to support AI features
Ensure AI systems are production-ready, observable, and scalable
Improve systems already in flight while contributing to greenfield initiatives—AI is not a silo here
