Senior AI Engineer

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer to help build the next generation of intelligent experiences for Insight Timer — the world’s largest meditation and wellness community, with over 20 million users. You’ll work directly with our Head of AI and backend engineers to turn ambitious ideas into production-grade systems that make a real impact on people’s wellbeing.

This is a software engineering role focused on building, scaling, and operating real AI systems — not a research or data science position. You’ll design and deploy agent workflows, integrate them with our backend APIs, and build the evaluation and monitoring infrastructure that keeps them reliable at scale. You’ll also help define the frameworks, tools, and practices that shape how AI gets built across Insight Timer.

We’re a fast-moving team that values thoughtful engineering and real-world results. You’ll have the autonomy to make pragmatic tradeoffs — sometimes moving quickly to ship, sometimes investing deeply in quality and stability — always guided by what best serves our users. If you’re motivated by the challenge of building reliable, high-impact systems that reach millions, we’d love to meet you.

About Insight Timer

Insight Timer is the world’s largest meditation community, home to over 20 million people around the globe. Every day, our users come together to slow down, breathe, and reconnect — guided by teachers, music, and practices that nurture calm and compassion.

Our mission is simple: to help people live happier, healthier, and more meaningful lives. We believe technology can be a force for restoration — not distraction — and that when millions of people take even a few quiet minutes each day, it creates a ripple effect of wellbeing that reaches far beyond the app.

We’re building technology for human flourishing — a platform designed not to steal attention, but to give it back.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship production-grade AI agents that interact with real users and systems at scale.
• Build evaluation, testing, and monitoring systems to ensure agent reliability, safety, and continual improvement.
• Architect flexible, modular workflows that make it easy to extend and iterate on AI capabilities.
• Integrate agents with existing backend APIs and data systems, collaborating with backend engineers to expose the right capabilities.
• Translate early AI prototypes into scalable, maintainable production systems used by millions of people.
• Take ownership of Insight Timer’s GenAI infrastructure — shaping best practices, frameworks, and internal tooling.
• Design data and feedback pipelines that help improve agent performance through real-world usage and, when appropriate, fine-tuning.
• Stay current with emerging agent frameworks and infrastructure approaches (e.g. LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), adopting new techniques when they support product goals.

About You

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including at least one production system involving AI agents or LLM-based automation.
• Strong Python fundamentals — you write clear, reliable code, and know how to move fast without losing sight of maintainability.
• Solid understanding of software design principles, modular architecture, and system integration.
• Experience building or operating backend services, APIs, or distributed workflows in production.
• Familiarity with agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc.), or confidence learning similar systems quickly.
• Comfortable designing evaluation, monitoring, and feedback pipelines to keep systems improving over time.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment where pragmatic trade-offs and iteration speed matter.
• Motivated by impact — you care about building reliable systems that help millions live healthier, more meaningful lives.

Benefits

• We offer competitive salaries and options.
• The role is fully remote but you must be based in Australia.
• Extra leave days are available for your well-being and birthday.
• A generous L&D budget & wellbeing bonus.
• We host a global company retreat each year.
