LLM Integration Engineer — Remote Contract Opportunity

🌍 Fully Remote (US-based) | ⏳ Project-Based | 💻 Hourly Contract Work

We’re seeking experienced engineers to support advanced LLM and AI agent integration projects helping improve next-generation autonomous systems.

This is a flexible, project-based engineering role focused on building, evaluating, and improving multi-step AI agent workflows used in frontier Large Language Model (LLM) systems.

About the work

You’ll contribute to the development and evaluation of AI systems that:

  • Execute multi-step reasoning and workflows
  • Coordinate complex automated tasks
  • Integrate with real-world tools and APIs
  • Operate in structured, production-like environments
  • Generate and refine high-quality system outputs

Your work directly supports the training and optimisation of advanced AI agents used in real-world applications.

What you’ll do

  • Build and evaluate modular backend and agent systems
  • Support integration of LLMs with APIs, databases, and external tools
  • Analyse system behaviour and provide structured technical feedback
  • Improve reliability, orchestration, and workflow performance
  • Identify edge cases, failures, and system vulnerabilities
  • Work with multi-step, production-style AI environments

What we’re looking for

  • 2+ years of experience in:
  • Backend engineering
  • AI automation
  • Systems integration
  • Strong proficiency in at least two languages (Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, etc.)
  • Experience with SQL databases and modular system design
  • Comfortable working in live, non-mocked environments
  • Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail

Nice to have

  • Experience building multi-stage or agent-based workflows
  • API integrations (e.g. Supabase, Gmail, external services)
  • Familiarity with persistent state/session tracking systems
  • Exposure to LLM tooling, orchestration, or AI agent frameworks
  • Understanding of security risks such as prompt injection or privilege escalation

Why this opportunity

  • Fully remote, flexible project-based contract work
  • Hourly engagements with competitive compensation
  • Work on frontier AI and autonomous agent systems
  • Opportunity for ongoing technical projects based on performance
  • High-impact work shaping next-generation LLM capabilities
