Company Overview

SPACE44 builds and operates software systems for companies that need technology to work reliably in real, day-to-day operations.

We work as long-term engineering partners, embedding experienced engineers into client environments and taking responsibility for execution, stability, and ongoing improvement of production systems. Our work goes beyond traditional staffing or project delivery — we operate the systems we help build.

A growing part of our work focuses on operational AI. We design, integrate, and run AI systems inside our clients’ cloud or on-prem environments, ensuring they are secure, governed, and usable in everyday business processes. This includes deploying and operating PIPE44, our AI integration and governance platform, together with AI-enabled engineering teams.

SPACE44 is a remote-first company. We value clear ownership, practical problem-solving, and engineers who are comfortable running real systems in production.

Who We Are Looking For?

We are looking for a Senior AI Operations Engineer to operate and continuously improve AI systems built on the PIPE44 platform in client environments. This is not a research role and not an AI architect position. Your focus is on running AI systems in production: stability, quality, governance, and controlled evolution after go-live. You will work closely with SPACE44 architects, engineers, and client teams to ensure AI agents, integrations, and knowledge sources behave reliably and safely in daily operations.

What You’ll Do:

  • Operate and maintain AI systems based on PIPE44 in client environments
  • Configure, deploy, and manage AI agents and multi-agent workflows
  • Control agent permissions, tool access, and knowledge boundaries
  • Monitor AI behavior, execution outcomes, usage patterns, and costs
  • Maintain governed knowledge sources and monitor retrieval quality (RAG)
  • Handle quality incidents such as incorrect grounding or unexpected outputs
  • Operate and support integrations with client systems (ERP, CRM, internal platforms, APIs)
  • Maintain logs, audit trails, and operational reporting for enterprise governance
  • Support the rollout of new agents and controlled scaling of existing systems
  • Act as the operational owner of AI systems after go-live

What This Role Is Not

  • No AI research
  • No model training or fine-tuning
  • No project sales or scoping
  • No 24/7 on-call rotation
  • No solo architecture ownership

This is a hands-on operational role, focused on keeping AI systems working in production.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years operating complex production systems (platform ops, SRE, production engineering, DevOps, or similar)
  • Experience supporting enterprise or client-facing systems
  • Comfortable owning systems after launch
  • Strong experience with API-based system integrations
  • Familiarity with AI agents, workflow automation, or orchestration platforms
  • Practical experience with LLM-based systems (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.)
  • Understanding of RAG concepts at an operational and quality-control level
  • Solid grasp of access control, permissions, and system governance
  • Experience working with monitoring, logging, and operational metrics
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with AI platforms or agent frameworks
  • Background in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments
  • Experience operating long-running client systems rather than short projects
