AI Systems Engineer (Full-stack)

About the Role
CloudZero is at the forefront of revolutionizing how cloud-driven companies manage and optimize their cloud spend. We empower organizations to make smarter decisions that drive growth and efficiency by bridging the gap between cloud costs and business outcomes. Now, we’re looking for a skilled Full-stack AI Systems Engineer to take ownership of our AI orchestration and agent infrastructure, and to lead future development of intelligent capabilities across both customer-facing products and internal tools. This is a unique opportunity to shape the backbone of AI systems at CloudZero and bring agentic intelligence into the core of FinOps.

Why This Role Matters:

• Own the Foundation: Take the ownership of our AI orchestration and agent systems—then evolve and scale them to meet the needs of our growing platform.

• Build Smart Systems: Architect and implement end-to-end agentic workflows and fullstack AI features that drive automation, insights, and efficiency across the product.

• Bridge Worlds: Act as the connective tissue between AI, engineering, and product—bringing intelligent systems to life that solve real-world business challenges.

• Drive the Future: Your work will define how AI is experienced by our customers and internal teams, making a direct impact on usability, efficiency, and innovation.

What You’ll Do

• AI System Ownership: Take over and expand the current AI agent and orchestration infrastructure, including control layers, integrations, and execution engines.

• Engineering Partnership: Collaborate closely with our existing dev team to ensure knowledge transfer, system stability, and continuous evolution of AI-powered components.

• End-to-End Development: Design and build fullstack features—from backend orchestration to frontend interfaces—that leverage generative AI, agents, and automation.

• Agentic Workflows: Develop multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines, and task planning/execution loops using tools and frameworks from AWS, Anthropic, and others.

• Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with product, design, and platform engineering teams to embed AI naturally into the user experience.

• Innovation: Stay at the forefront of AI advancements—especially around LLMs, orchestration platforms, and autonomous agents—and bring those into CloudZero’s ecosystem.

Requirements

We’re looking for someone who’s comfortable owning and evolving complex AI systems—and is excited about building smart, end-to-end functionality. The ideal candidate will have:

• AI Systems Experience: Hands-on experience building and maintaining AI agents, orchestration layers, or task-based execution frameworks.

• Fullstack Chops: Strong proficiency in backend development (Python) with the ability to work on frontend interfaces (e.g., React, Vite, Astro) when needed.

• Cloud-First Thinking: Experience working in cloud-native environments (AWS preferred) and integrating services like Bedrock, Lambda, S3, or similar.

• Generative AI Knowledge: Familiarity with LLMs, embeddings, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Elasticsearch), and retrieval-augmented generation.

• Strong Collaborator: Comfortable working with distributed teams (outsourced or in-house) and partnering across disciplines.

• Autonomy & Leadership: Ability to take initiative, drive clarity in ambiguous contexts, and make strategic decisions about architecture and roadmap.

• Dev Tools & Pipelines: Experience with common dev tooling and build pipelines (e.g., Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD) and observability stacks.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with agent frameworks (e.g., AWS Bedrock Agents, LangChain, CrewAI, etc.)

• Background in DevTools, platform engineering, or developer experience

• Experience with internal tooling, prompt engineering, or custom orchestration UIs

• Exposure to FinOps or cloud cost tooling (but not required)

About CloudZero:
Cloud cost management is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, so do the complexities and costs associated with it - and macroeconomic conditions only increase pressure to prove cloud efficiency. That’s why we built CloudZero: a SaaS platform at the intersection of next-generation cloud cost management and FinOps. CloudZero ingests billing and usage data from all cloud, SaaS, and PaaS providers, organizes it in real time according to our customers’ business structures, lets customers view it at any level of time or resource granularity, and ultimately empowers them to make more informed business decisions.

Since our founding in 2016, our mission has been to make efficient innovation a reality for every cloud-driven organization. At CloudZero, we believe every engineering decision is a buying decision, yet the cost conversation often bypasses the engineers who drive those determinations. To solve this, we’ve built a dynamic, single-page application that answers the complex, data-heavy questions every cloud-based organization needs to ask if they want to grow their company profitably.

To date, we’ve raised over $52 million from leading venture capital firms across the country. We’re solving problems of massive scale, business importance, and complexity in a space that needs it more than ever. We’re growing rapidly and would love for you to be a part of it.
