TL;DR
As a Senior AI Engineer (Contractor), you will be part of a high-caliber team responsible for building the agentic layer that drives Altura's next evolution.

You will lead impactful AI initiatives end-to-end, taking ownership of results across:
Discovery and greenfield prototyping
Model evaluation and multi-model strategy
Production rollout, observability, and continuous improvement
Beyond product capabilities, you will help define foundational AI platform components, including context engineering, agent orchestration, evaluation frameworks, tone monitoring, and online observability.
Experience freedom from corporate bureaucracy. Enjoy autonomy, speed, and genuine technical influence.
You will deliver AI systems that are:
Reliable in production
Scalable across customer bases
Measurable in impact
